There's discussion about making major revisions to the RPT Platform. Please describe the nature of any major changes you support.

I am not informed as to the RPT platform changes.

Should the county GOP chair be involved with fundraising? Why or why not?

No.  This should be left to the campaigns.

Do you like the Steering Committee style of leadership currently in place or that of just a county chairman?

I do not like the idea of centralized power.

A committee requires a consensus for decision.  This form of governance has been consistent since the founding.

Do you think the 'Republican' brand should be used by PACs in their names that may deceive voters? Why or why not?"

To my knowledge the "Republican brand" is not owned by anyone.  Therefore you cannot enforce the use or non-use of the term.  It then comes to individual responsibility to make decisions as to whether or not the PAC is of Republican principles and if that individual supports the candidate.

Do you beieve that the county chair/precinct chairs should actively participate in at least one committee?

Yes.

Are you willing to put in the time necessary to attend CEC meetings, additional committee meetings, training sessions, blockwalking, etc?

Yes, as time allows.

How do you believe precinct chairs should be involved in elections? (election judge, clerk, none?)

Precinct chairs, as a servant to the election process, should have envolvement in the election.  This can be in the form of active or inactive role, but must be ensure fair and truthful elections.

What's your position on Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan?

I do not know Mr. Phelan personally.  My understanding of his performance is influenced by my industry's lobby.

The house as a whole over the past several years has enabled the minority party to have influential appointments and seats that are acting against what they are elected to do.  Mr. Phelan needs to stop this practice.

Would you support legislative action to establish a salary framework (possibly related to the Gov. salary) for all taxpayer funded employees with a stipulation that elected officials be required to get voter approval to exceed that framework for their own salaries?

No.  This should be based on market priciples and the effectiveness of the individual employee.  Government does not produce a product; therefore government salaries are a tax on the system and should be reduced to a minimum.

Do you support or oppose federal funding for Planned Parenthood and other agencies that perform abortions, both in the U.S. and abroad (even if they use money derived from other sources)?

No.  Taxpayer dollars should not be used for murder.

Do you support or oppose social programs in our schools (like C-Scope, Common Core, CRT, International Baccalaureate, SEL, etc.)? Why or why not?

No.  Education should be free of social agenda.  A proper education should enable the individual to chart their own path and conclusions.

Is there anything in your background of an embarrassing nature that should be explained before your election? Arrests/Convictions? Bankruptcys?

No.

At what point should the "right to life" or "personhood" be granted to new human beings (e.g., at conception, sign of heartbeat, 3 months of pregnancy, birth, 5 days old, etc)? What action, if any, will you take to reflect this in law?

Conception.

Any action necessary to protect life.

Should the county GOP chair be involved in any other political organizations, including PAC's, while serving a term as the chairman? Why or why not?

No.  This could be a conflict of interest.

What, if anything, should be done to protect our borders from illegal immigration?

Stop illegal immigration with an all-of-the-above approach.  Borders are essential to soverignty.

Do you support or oppose the referendum passed by both the MoCo GOP Executive Committee and SREC to allow voters, at the statewide level, to decide whether or not they want a particular toll road?

Voters should decide if they want a particular toll road.  If approved, the voter then has the option to drive on the toll road or not.

As the state's population continues to grow it forces communities to face transportation issues, much like Montgomery County.  Funding for infrastructure has to come from somewhere; I support private funding of infrastructure as supplement to TxDOT provided that tolls have a sunset provision.

What does being a conservative mean to you?

Protection of Life, Liberty and Property.

Small government.

Free enterprise.
