Questionnaire

General

What 2 things about your opponent do the voters need to know?

Claiming to be the incumbent chair, Ann Kate is committing fraud and has been since her resignation letter dated June 7, 2022

She is un-ethical, a liar and corrupt.  She condones the illegal actions of County Chairman Bryan Christ. She is not the legal or legitimate Precinct 72 Chairman.

  

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.

I promise to abide by the RPT platform.

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

Conservative means that your principles are based on Christian values and morals.  I follow the rule of law and 

Believe abortion is murder.

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

YES

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

The term Republican should only be used if the organization has direct ties to the Texas State Republican Party.  The Montgomery Republican CLUB does not have direct ties to the State Party but are being very deceptive to the point that several elected officials have contributed money to the Club thinking that they were giving to the County Party.

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

I am a staunch conservative and Tea Party advocate.

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

Precinct chairs should conduct quarterly meeting of their Precincts and be responsible for the election judge and block walk their Precincts. They need to be involved in all aspects of the election process.

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

Bryan Christ has clearly demonstrated that you have to have a steering committee in order to try to prevent his or her having ideas about becoming a Dictator.    Unfortunately, this has not worked as Bryan is not following the rules.  You need to make rules that the Chairman can be impeached if he/she starts not obeying all applicable Federal, State, County Laws and party bylaws.

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

The County Chair and Precinct Chairs should actively participate in Committee meetings.  The County Chairman is a de facto non voting member of every committee.  How does the Chairman know what is going on in the County if he does not attend at least some of the meetings?

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

This is one of the main jobs and responsibilities of the County Chair.  Chairman Bryan Christ has failed miserably at this job and responsibility.  He has publicly stated this is not part of the Chairman’s job.  Yet He has been raising money for the Republican CLUB and has misrepresented this activity as raising money for the Party to the point that several elected officials from the County Judge on down have contributed to this Club.  This Club has no OFFICAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP  WITH THE STATE PARTY OR THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Should party primaries be "open" or "closed" & why?

They should be closed!  Currently, this is how the Democrats and fake Republicans are infiltrating our

Party and diluting Conservative votes and getting non-conservatives elected.

Should the GOP County Chair be selected by the elected County Executive Committee, or in the Open primaries where Democrats can cross over for more moderate candidates?

The County Chair should be elected by the Precinct Chairs.  The general public is totally unaware how the County Executive Committee is operated and what really goes on.

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

I support all of the RPT platform.

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

I  personally  know Dade Phelan from when I lived in Jefferson County, and he was a Democrat and the only reason he joined the Republican Party was to get elected.   His whole family are democrats and still are.  When he was running for the House the first time he got caught not living in his District.  He used the address of a renthouse.   There was nothing done about that. 

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?

Yes

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?

Oppose  These are Communists programs designed to divide the Country.

Ethics

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

No

Do you agree with precinct chairs involvement in republican primaries? Why or why not?

Yes.  This is one way to find out who the Precinct Chair supports and evaluate whether they are really  strong conservatives or not.

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!  It is very obvious that Bryan’s loyalties lie with his Republican CLUB, not the party.

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?

AT CONCEPTION! Whatever action I can legally take

Immigration

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

~Not Answered Yet~

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

Conservative means cherishing freedom of all kinds such as to worship in Church, freedom of speech and freedom from Dictators at all levels.

List 3 changes that should be made to how elections are conducted in Montgomery County.

I would go back to paper ballots and I would eliminate early voting as it appears that this is where fraud is occurring.  Any time you have a ballot machine connected to the internet it can be changed to reflect what the government programmers want , not what the public voted.

Do you support current RPT chair Matt Rinaldi in full and if not, what do you disagree with?

I support Matt Rinaldi.  However, he needs to be more aggressive in dealing with roque Chairman like Bryan Christ.
