This is a Republican primary race. Do you promise, if elected, to abide by the RPT platform? And if not, please enumerate what problems you have.
Yes
Do you support current RPT chair James Dickey in full and if not, what do you disagree with?
I have not know James Dickey, and my research today is showing him to be an advocate for conservative Republican beliefs and values. With that understanding I support Mr. Dickey.
Did you support liberal Texas house-speaker Joe Straus? Why or why not?
Do not know him well. The part that I do know, is him being a proponent to keep the bathroom policy such that a person could go into the restroom of the gender which that person identified with at the moment. With that limited understanding, I would not support his views. To state it more bluntly, I see him as a RINO, Republican In Name Only and that is Very Bad.
Please describe what you believe are the most significant issues in this race, why and what you'll do to address them?
There is a growing population in the Democratic Party here in Montgomery County. It is been the history in Montgomery County that who ever won the Republican Primary would have the position in November Election. Now we are more and more challenged with Democratic opposition and it is necessary to have strong Republican backing. As Precinct Chair I will work to educate and inform my constituents about the people, positions and processes that are coming up on the ballot, giving them the ability to make educated and informed decisions with their vote.
Which supreme court cases should Texas just ignore?
This falls in concert with States Rights, the 10th Amendment. see my answer there
There's discussion about making major revisions to the RPT Platform. Please describe the nature of any major changes you support.
I am not currently aware of the revisions that are being discussed. Therefor I am not able to make an informed and intelligent comment on this subject.
As a Republican, if you had to give up one of the following core principles, which one would you select first and why?
a. pro-life;
b. 10% reduction in state, fed, local spending;
c. 2nd amendment;
d. illegal immigration;
e. foreign bases;
f. 10th amendment
I do not know what is the meaning of “foreign bases” and as I have very strong supportive opinions on all the rest of the issues, “foreign bases” is the one I would be willing to forfeit on.
For what offices should term limits be implemented?
I believe that ALL elected officials; local, state and federal, should have term limits. The term limits need to be equal to or less than the term limits set on the President of the United States
What distinguishes you from your opponent?
I do not know my current Precinct Chair. That says a lot about him, he does not get out and communicate. I have lived in this Precinct for over 11 years, vote in every election and have never heard from him. I will work for the people of my Precinct to get understable information out to them so that they can ask good questions and make informed and educated decissions with their votes.

Are the United States and Texas constitutions living documents? Please answer in the context of Progressivism versus Originalism.
The US and Texas Constitutions are written only to be changed through the amendment process. To consider that the constitution can evolve just over time without amendments to change it, is wrong.
