Questionnaire

General

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

1. Voters need to know that I have been active in the Republican Party And Conservative circles for decades and I have never heard of my opponent before.

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

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

Conservatives stand for basic fundamental principles, which is the opposite of liberal, which means open to all sorts of garbage.

 

Conservatives primarily want small government.

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

Yes, as I have for the past 30 years.

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

No, for the simple fact that it confuses Voters.

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

Conservative

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

I believe that the Precinct Chairs should be informing and influencing the Voter and getting out the Vote.

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

Yes I like the Steering Committee Style, a strong body of Precinct Chairs

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

Yes, that would be a good starting point

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

Yes

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

I think closed Primaries are better

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?

I like the CEC electing the Chairman

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

No major changes necessary it's pretty good platform

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

Not sure how he got to where he is at to begin with. He's as bad if not worse than Joe Strauss.

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?

I oppose social programs in schools.

 

Schools need to teach the fundamentals, not social engineering

Ethics

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

35 years ago I was arrested for drinking and driving, I had to pay a fine and serve probation & nothing after that.

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

Yes, it seems that is part of the job, informing the public

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's a conflict

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?

Life begins at conception, abortion is murder

Immigration

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

Our borders must be protected big time, laws enforced, immigration controlled. This is insanity what is going on under Biden.

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

Enforcing our laws, supporting the Constitution, and limited government

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

1. Early Voting can be shortened considerably

2. It should be easier for citizens to get a recount (Magnolia School Board issue)

3. Voters should be allowed to carry their phones into the polls

 

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

Yes, I support RPT Chair Matt Rinaldi. He's doing a good job.
