Questionnaire

General

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

I went through a process of being  interviewed  by some 13 people of the CEC Vacancy Committe, then approved and then couple of days later sworn in as Precinct Chair of 111.

As Precinct Chair 111 since 08-13-2022 I met  James/Homer/Stanley Oatis block walking before the November election and at the poll on 11-07-2022.

I believe he voted for the right people regarding the school board.candidates on my push card.  Aound early-mid December found out that Bryan Christ people (Vance and Bodenhamer) had recruited him to be Precinct #111 Chair by texting and emails fron Christ's people, 

Having walked and driven every street in Precinct # 111, talking to hundreds of people at 70 years of age for the past 3 elections I will work the people of this Precinct #111 to elect the right people and policies that have values that need to be maintained. 

I do not believe that Mr. Oatis will do that nor was he properly inducted into the CEC.

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, i will and have abided by the RPT platform.

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

I believe in God.  I believe in Good and evil.  I believe the U.S. Constitution is the greatest political system ever created by very bright people.  That our U.S. government is to protect our people and our land, then stay out of my / our way to raise my family and conduct business and live freely and safely.  I believe you pay your bills, educate your kids.  I believe the Ten Comandments  are an excellent guide to do what;s right and that the freedoms we have are to do good.   

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

Since August 13, 2022 I have not missed but one scheduled meeting of the CEC, most of the training sessions and have walked the entire precinct for the November 2022, Primary of 2023 and the November 2023 elections.  

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

No. The Republican brand should not be used by PAC's which can be funded by anyone with money and cannot be controlled to support wrong candidates and agendas.

Conservative

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

Precinct Chairs should get out the vote to educate voters on who are the best candidates, which policies and programs are important to get inacted.

Chairs should be active election days at the polls.

 

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

I believe the Steering Committee style of leadership is better.

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

Yes I do.

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

Yes, fundraising is critical to getting the vote out.

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

Primaries should be closed.  They are as important as any general election.  Crossovers in the primaries are playing games and their cheating and corruption have major consequences.

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?

GOP county chairs should elect the GOP county Chairman.

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

Better processes for enforcing RPT platform rules and holding individuals accountable for violations. If we make the rules we should all play by the rules.

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

Dade Phelan should never have been Speaker. So yes, he should be removed now.

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?

I do not know how to answer that at this time.

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 all the programs listed.  Our kids cannot add, read or write and most importantly think for themselves. we should be teaching to educate not take a test.

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, finding and getting the right people in for the right reasons is all important.

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?

Yes, the more involve in various organizations the better to see more people's opions and options.

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?

I have taken biology, LIFE begins at conception. 

Immigration

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

We have and are being invaded.  Ellis island is a good model for immigration.  Fences, barries, technology and boarder guards.

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

Follow the US, Texas Constitutions.  Smaller government with aggressive oversight on government and less regulation.  Ballanced budgets, secure our borders, provide school choice, better education integrity and enact term limits on all elected representatives.

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

Election machines should have total integrity.

Reduce early voting times.

Mail in ballots should have the tighest controls and for those that have issues getting to the polls..  otherwise, show up and vote, then get your finger inked.

 

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

I want to believe Matt Rinaldi is trying to do a good job.  We make the rules to play by.  Use them, enforce them or you don't get to play.
