Questionnaire

General

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

Conservative voters need to know that she supports the rogue 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.

Yes, I promise to abide by the Republican Party Platform

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

Conservatives protect and defend the United States Constitution and understand that our rights are given by God and therefore cannot be taken away by government. Conservatives understand because God created man, all are created equal and laws should be applied equally to all. Conservatives support Capitalism and know that of all governments it alone gives all people equal opportunity to thrive and be free.

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?"

I strongly oppose using the Republican brand in in the name of PACs. You only have to look at our county to see the damage that this practice has caused to the local party.

 Republican

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

I believe that Precinct Chairs should be outside in the parking lots during early voting and election days, promoting Republican Principles to educate all Voters who show up at the polls

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

I support the “Steering Committee style of leadership”

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

Yes

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

Being the leader of the party he should set the example for the rest of the party. He is also in the most influential position in the party and should be heading up the fundraising.

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

Party Primaries should be closed because open primaries can be easily manipulated by the opposing party to elect weak candidates for their people to run against.

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 GOP County Chair should not be chosen by Democrats who vote in our open primaries. I also think because the precinct chairs work together and know who is loyal and works hard for the party they can choose the best leader.

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

I would support the revision of the Republican Party Platform, to include add a plank stating that the Republican Party condemns dual citizenship. I thought it was a horrible look for Republicans and the whole Nation during the previous election when, the Republican Candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania, Dr. Oz flew home to Turkey to vote in the elections of his homeland. If we truly reject open border globalism and support national sovereignty, the Republican Party should take the major step of rejecting dual citizenship and calling for laws that require Naturalized Citizens to honor their oath to “absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign state”.

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

Phelan needs to go. Why would we have a speaker who appoints Democrats to committee leadership positions? This is someone who does not understand the battle we are in

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 all social programs. These programs threaten our freedoms with their Marxist, globalist ideaologies.

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, Precinct Chairs are the lowest elected position making them the closest representative to “We The People” so they play a pivotal role in the primaries in reaching the people.

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?

The GOP County Chairman should not be a chairman or hold a leadership position in a PAC as it can cause confusion and a conflict of interest.

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 believe life begins at conception and must be protected. We must continue to educate the public on the humanity of the unborn and make resolutions stating the value and protection of humans from conception to natural death.

Immigration

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

We have laws that we need to follow on illegal immigration.

First thing would be to stop the financial incentive for people who come illegally.

We need a pause on immigration just to process those who are already here

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

A Conservative is someone who supports the original intent of our founding fathers in our Constitution. We support freedom of religion, freedom of speech, limited government and separation powers. Also Presidents are not kings and shouldn’t be allowed to govern through executive orders.

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

1. Cameras should be everywhere that the ballots travel, are being handled, or are being counted.

2. Watermarked Paper Ballots; no machines. The printing and quantity of printed ballots should be tightly controlled.

3. The process for Citizens to call for a hand recount, including Mail In and Overseas Ballots, should be made much easier. It should be made much more difficult for a hand recount to be denied by Election Officials.

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

Yes, I support The Republican Party of Texas Chairman Matt Rinaldi.
