Questionnaire

General

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

What best describes your political ideology most(circle only one).   
1.        Republican                     
2.        Grassroots                     
3.        Conservative
4.        Tea Party

Conservative but more correctly Christian Conservvituve. 

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

I support the entire current platform I am not in support of major changes to the platform. During the recent primaries I interviewed over 100 voters and only 1 had read the platform but several had stated things in education that they disagreed with because they were mis-informed about the platform agenda. I do not desire any major changes!

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

The County Chair has a obligation to at least appear to be non-biased. If he joins certain groups that fund raise for certain candidates that would appear to me that he as head of the CEC supports certain candidates over others.

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

I prefer that majority rule not that one person dictates.

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

I do not believe that the GOP Brand in any format should be used by any PAC nor do I believe that it is right for a PAC to use a brand even if modified slightly of a grassroots organization to deceive voters.

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

I believe that each person makes their own obligations and should fulfill those obligations to the utmost.

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

I have and will continue to attend every meeting. I enjoy the the training sessions so I will attend as often as feasible.

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

I would like to see in the future precinct chairman our during early voting educating voters on the Tx GOP Platform. I feel each new chair should learn how to run an election and then after that decide where they can help the voters most; whether that be at the booths or outside answering questions.

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

I would very much like to see the Speaker replaced. I have been very vocal on this matter for several years!

Budget

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?

We are in need of a system that would prevent our employees from giving themselves outrageous salary increases but I am not sure that the framework idea is a good one. First the Dems will use that as a reason to raise salaries in counties that have lower salaries than Montgomery and then is using the governors salary a good starting point?  I am more in tune to the Founders ideas. Are these politicians really here to serve or get rich? Time to make them prove it. Cut their salaries by 25% and give them the same raises the military or social security recipients get. We pay their expenses so why do they need such large wage increasss.

Other civil liberty

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)?

I oppose any tax dollars being used to fund the murder of any child including funding Planned Parenthood.

Education

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

I oppose any programs being taught in schools funded by tax dollars that teach hatred, that teach a alternate history of America, that teach that all white people are racist or teach abnormal behavior is normal. So yes, I oppose CRT,IB, Common Core, c-Scope and any other firms that it takes.

Ethics

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

I will not be embarrassed by anything, my sins have all be forgiven.

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 

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?

I believe the County Chair is to be held to a higher standard and he should not put himself in a position that makes him appear to be compromised. I do however understand he is human and he has done such a thing and he feels that he is justified. He is not any different than most politicians. The right position to take is to have run someone against him that would have been more in line with my views but I did not run; so I will not speak on this matter.

Immigration

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

Speaking as a 7th Generation Texan and Great X4 Nephew of my uncle who stood next to General Houston during the surrender of Gen. Santa Anna; I and my family have a long history of defending these lands. Since the Federal and State Governments have declined to protect our borders that leaves the same folks that fought to gain Texas freedom the first time, it's people. So yes, I believe something needs to be done.

Transportation

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?

Yes

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

A conservative means conserving your resources, limiting your costs, being efficient during production which can only happen if you have God in you life. Being human means protecting your children from those that wish otherwise.
