Questionnaire

General

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

Gary Renolds has some good talk but comes to some wrong conclusions. He is a major part of the divide of the Montgomery County Republican party. He agrees with the policy that the current leader of the Montgomery County Republican party has about not letting any Republican into the new headquarters that is not a deep state establishment RINO.

He is an adamant supporter of many establishment RINO Republicans, Such as John McCain when he ran for president. The man who’s famous for reaching across the aisle to make deals with the Democrats. Gary is furious with core Republicans that did not vote for McCain and blames them for McCain's loss. He did not learn the lesson to not put a Democrat with an R behind his name on the ballot against another Democrat and expect the conservative base to show up to vote for him just because he has an R behind his name. Gary cares more about the Republican party than anythig else.

Personally, I believe the Republican party needs to come back to conservative values as it is advertised itself to be, and to quit being the “other Democrat Party.” Many conservative people I know do not vote in elections because, what is the difference? We need to make a difference. I am tired of having to hold my nose as I pull the lever for the guy with the R when he is known not to be conservative. We can drive out the votes to the polls if we get back to the basics.

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 agree with the Montgomery County republican platform. As long as it continues to put God first, believes in our founding documents, upholds free markets, limits government, shows fiscal responsibility, and has moral ethics, I’m in.

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

I define myself as a Christian conservative. As a conservative, I believe the priorities are God, Family, Country, in that order. If those three things do not  line up, then there is a problem. I believe in the American constitution. I am prolife, we need to protect the youngest and most defenseless Americans. I believe in fiscal responsibility. The government does not need to be doing things for its citizens that they should be doing for themselves. There are people that are genuinely in need of some help and that is the church’s job to help the poor. As a Christian, we need to help people back on their feet, unlike the current system of keeping people dependent on the government so they will continue to vote for you so they can continue to get their crumbs. I believe in free markets, limited government, protecting our borders, opportunity for all, not equal outcome. The second amendment is paramount as it protects the other nine. The 2nd amendment is not about hunting. Our founding fathers didn’t just come back from a hunting trip when they wrote the constitution. They came back from fighting a rogue, oppressive, totalitarian government that wanted to control them. We need lower taxes so the people can take care of themselves. There are two genders: Man and woman. I am a conservative and these values are conservative.

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?"

No, If it is not the Republican Party, the name is put there to deceive. There may be no legal recourse, just as Federal Express is not federal.

Conservative: God, Family, Country. FREEDOM!

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

yes they should be involved and judges would be the logical place. If there is a conservative alternative they can be a clerk. Maybe they can be a clerk and help a new person be the judge. I have been a clerk in the last two elections.

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

I cannot answer this question as I have not been involved in the steering committee.

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

Yes this is logical.

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

The county chair should be involved with fundraising for the GOP as a whole. He should not be involved in pitting one republican against another. He should be involved in having the republican beat the democrat in the general election.

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

The party primaries should be closed. If they are open then a member of the opposite party can claim to be the opposite party just to vote for the candidate that is least qualified so that an unqualified, watered down, candidate will run against their actual candidate from their party. This will effectively make a smaller turn out for the party being misrepresented as the core party members are not going to show up to vote for a watered down candidate.

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 be selected by the sitting precinct county chairs. This way there is no Democrat cross overs, and only established Republicans pick their leader.

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

I am unfamiliar with changes that are being made. At present I have no suggestions of any changes.

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

I support Lt. Gov Dan Patrick. Dade Phalin needs to be at least out of his power position or tossed out completely.

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 am not up to speed on this. I am a fiscal conservative. I am tired of the government stealing my money for unneeded garbage. There are a lot of hands out wanting a slice of government pie. The pie needs to get smaller and fewer hands in it. Less taxation and let the people spend their own money on what they need and want. I would be open to listening to compensation needs for work done.

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?

Quality education. Our kids need to learn how to read, write, and do math and real science. Climate change is propaganda, not science. They need to be taught real history. Has America been perfect? No, but that needs to be taught as well so it is not repeated. Bad men get into power and bad things happen. Look at the evil garbage going on right now; at our border, supporting terrorists over Israel, backing the corrupt communist regime in the Ukraine just because it is the money laundering capitol of the word and the industrial military coomplex want to make Billions. Just like the pharmaceutical companies made billions on the covid scamdemic while regular people were shut into their homes for political control. 

The US was founded by Christians with the Christian ethic. That is why we are free. Our children need to be taught this. There are only two countries that were dedicated to God on their inception: Israel and the United States of America. We have strayed far and need to return.

Two genders: God made Adam and Eve, he made man and woman. Men need to play men’s sports and use the men’s restroom and locker room. Women need to use the women’s rest room and women’s locker room and play women’s sports. Women were not made to be men nor do what men need to do. They were made to do the things men cannot do. Not better or worse. Just like a fork and a spoon, neither is better or worse than the other. They do better at what they were created for than being used for the other job that they were not created for.

Sexual perverts need to be kept away from our children. Right now, the national school board in Washington D.C. is pushing homosexuality and gender dysphoria, and racist propaganda in our country’s schools and that needs to stop. The state school board in Austin simply passes it on to all the school districts in Texas, who blindly do what they are told. It is right here in CISD! We are fighting back.

No to CRT – it is racist, No to SEL – it is perverted, No to Common core – I do not want dumbed down children, No to International Baccalaureate. I want good Americans, not anti American one world communists.

Ethics

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

I have been arrested twice in my younger life. Both were for driving my car too fast.  I spent 0 time in lock up. Never went to court, just paid my fine and was released.

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

I have not given this any though. As I am new to this and this is my first time. The pro side is helping someone you beleive in and the con side is a libtard is helping a non conservative. The reason I am running is to do what ever i can to get the needle back to the right. The Republican party has become the "other Democrat Party" and it needs to become the conservatitve party.

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 do not have an answer. If they are opposing political organizations then there is something wrong with that.

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 am Pro life.  Life begins at conception. Let there be light. If there is a medical complication and it comes to one or the other the mother should be given priority unless documented beforehand. Usually during birth there is a doctor present for the baby and a doctor present for the mother. Murder is murder. we need to protect the innocent helpless children. God knew us as we were being sewn together in our mothers womb.

Unfortunately, realistically, we may have to get it under control bit by bit. Take what we can get and come back next year to get further. I have learned that from watching the Democrats, inch by inch, dragging our country to hell and the RINO’s keep compromising. Its time to start dragging it back to the good side.

 

Immigration

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

Get Trump back in office! At this point of utter chaos our army needs to be involved to flat stop the invasion. All illegals need to be sent back. That’s the only way to get control back. Then we can decide on how we are going to legally let people in. If you do not have borders, you do not have a country!

Protect our borders. We are about to lose our country with the massive border crises going on. Men go to war and women and children flee from war. Right now, a majority coming across our border are military aged men. What few women and children are coming across are getting trafficked. The cartels are running our borders and have found that trafficking people is more lucrative than the drug trade and has less penalties. This has turned into a humanitarian nightmare. Thank you, Joe. (actually, Joe's Handlers, as Joe has dementia, and it is all he can do to not drool on the children he sniffs)

I am a conservative and these values are conservative.

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

1 only registered party members to be allowed to vote in the primaries for their party.

2 No mail in ballots except for disabled people and people that cannot be there due to work (I worked oversea in the oil business for many years and had to do mail in ballots. Soldiers overseas fit into this category) and it needs to be monitored heavily. Ballot harvesting needs to stop.

3 Ballot stuffing and harvesting needs to be a felony with a minimum of 10 years in jail per ballot stuffed or harvested.

4 There needs to be a way of monitoring that each ballot came from the person it was supposed to come from. Maybe fingerprints can be used. All unsigned, untraceable, ballots get thrown out. Any election official that cheats should get twice the penalty of a regular person. They are supposed to be certified and impartial. They are not just stealing your watch or your wallet, they are stealing your whole country.

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

I don't know him. I googled him and it sounds like he is a bought and paid for polititian.. Its too late and my eyes are crossing.

Have a good night and be Blessed.
