Questionnaire

General

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

~Not Answered Yet~

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.

Absolutely. Not only will I uphold it, but I will continue to work to shape the RPT platform to reflect our values.

Define what the word "Conservative" means to you.

"Conservative" to me means one who supports traditional values and operates with a personal hierarchy of faith, family, and community service. A conservative is also willing to stand against attepmts to degrade our values and/or communities via peaceful and effective civil engagement.

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

Yes, I am willing to enage in the process.

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

No. In my experience, PACs always require a vetting process in which their true actions and intentions can be verified. The "republican" brand in my opinion is more than a name, it is a set of values that unite us. Any PAC can use the word "republican" for political advantage, but only authentic ones adhere to the values and principles in their actions. Those who make false claims of values that they do not uphold should be exposed to daylight in the spirit of infomed voter consent.

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

Grassroots.

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

It seems a natural extension to have precinct chair serve as election judge, but this can also be overwhelming for some precinct chairs. Therefore I would advocate for precinct chairs to be involved in election day in some significant way, either as clerk or election judge, but to provide them a choice in where to serve on election day.

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

I am not familiar with this, I can answer after I have learned more context.

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

It seems reasonable to consider one committee as being part of the committment provided there was organization and mutual respect for everyone's time.

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

~Not Answered Yet~

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

I advocate for closed primaries. In my experience, open primaries have not benefitted us a party with regard to getting good primary candidates onto the general ballot.

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 person who is meant to chair and represent the GOP for an entire county should be chosen from inside the party via the county executive commitee.

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

I support additional emphasis on solidifying medical liberty and preventing mandates or another potential lockdown of schools and businesses.

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

Dade Phelan is a RINO and is as establishment as it goes. He is one of the primary reasons so much quality legislation failed in the house this past regular legislative session. 

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 support continuing to put limits on the amount of power the government has to waste resources and serve themselves at the expense of us.

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?

Yes, I oppose these programs. In my opinion, those programs are meant to instill the school systems values into our youth irrespective of the parent's wishes and bypasses the child's family unit.

Ethics

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

I was divorced from a philanderer in 2005 and I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2011 as a result of my divorce. I have never been arrested or convicted of anything. 

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

Yes. One of ther primary roles of a precinct chair is to be involved in the primaries and help get worthy candidates onto the general ballot and then into office.

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?

It seems like this could be 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?

~Not Answered Yet~

Immigration

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

Our border is a humanitarian and national security disaster. It must be closed immediately and those who have entered illegally should be returned to their home country where they can apply for entry via legal immigration channels.

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

"Conservative" to me means one who supports traditional values and operates with a personal hierarchy of faith, family, and community service. A conservative is also willing to stand against attepmts to degrade our values and/or communities via peaceful and effective civil engagement.

watermarked paper ballots

no dominion voting machines

extra verification or steps to qulaify for mail in voting

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

I support Rinaldi overall, but he took his sweet time dealing with the massive division within the republican party and has yet to make great headway at resolving it.
