Questionnaire

General

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

Opponent is unknown - first time I have seen his name - no bio was available for me to compare myself with.

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 believe in conservative values and open and honest elections.

 

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

Conservative means we support America first: A conservative will fight to protect our US Constitution and our Bill of Rights...  and further deny any attempt to alter them without open debate and a general election vote. Conservative means we protect the life of unborn children and we respect life at all stages, cease and desist in all forms of sexual indoctrination of children, remain fiscally responsible to our taxpayers. Finally conservatives should immediately fight to overturn current propaganda platforms which allow false advertising to be made public without contest.  

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

Yes I do. I have and will continue to blockwalk for other conservatives. I am active in CEC meetings and have served for more that three elections as clerk then Judge and finally Co-Judge. 

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

The key words here are "PAC Deception". Under no circumstance should deception be allowed by any government body. 

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

These all support my Conservative ideology.

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

Precinct Chairs assure that in all elections every registered voter is treated with courtesy and all votes are accounted for and delivered to election central. Provisional voting must be validated by election central. I further believe that Precinct Chairs, when elected as delegates, need to attend State Republican Party Conventions as I do now. 

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

I believe in a moderated steering commitee approach to leadership. I believe that the GOP Chair should be responsible to the CEC.

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?

I believe that County GOP Chairs have a responsibility to further the success of the Republication Party in both getting out the vote and disseminating facts to help our voters understand the issues and clarify what their votes can accomplish. I would have to understand any other fundraising prior to action. 

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

I believe that party primaries should be restricted to registered party voters only.

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 only be selected by their respective County Executive Committees and voted in by a majority of CEC Members.

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

I have experienced so much time wasted on lesser important platform issues. I would like to see issues ranked before we meet together such that we can deal with our most important platform issues first. Top Five issues, next five issues, then as time allows all other issues...

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

We need a true Republican to replace Mr. Phelan. He is a great dissappoint to me. 

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?

Certainly - and yes, it must receive voter approval. 

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 these programs as they are not in the best interest of parents and our nation. Also we need to address those entities fostering these Marxist Doctrines as a part of our platform.

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?

I think it is essential that Precinct Chairs be resources of information to the public that they serve. We can only do this if we are part of the decision process and hear all the arguements both opposed and in agreement to the issues. 

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?

Where there is no conflict of interest - I think this may be acceptable for the Republican Party. However I also think that we may need the CEC to address issues that arise from county GOP Chairs who violate our party's ethics rules. 

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 that life begins at conception. I would like to see what can be done in Law at this point from further discussion with my Republican colleagues. 

Immigration

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

Finish the Border Walls, re-staff our border guards, take authority away from the Federal Bureaucrats and send them the bills that they don't have the guts to pay themselves. Set the FBI on a course to weed out criminals allowed into our country during this Federal Agenda and hold them responsible for their actions.

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

Support the "Family", apply law equally to all citizens, prevent the corruption of government by vested interests and keep politicians legally responsible for their actions. Dare I Mention:  Our Bill of Rights and the Constitution should not be open to any federal interpretation. 

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

1) no ballot harvesting

2) clean up voter rolls so dead people can't vote

3) Paper ballots

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

I like Matt, I was impressed with the way he handled our last Republican Convention, but I think. we could be a lot stronger than we are and begin to wonder about Matt's conviction to our Republican Agenda. Please convince me I wrong Matt.
