David Johns

declared

I'm David Johns, a former US Marine, a dedicated family man, and a firm believer in the principles that shaped our nation. Guided by the timeless wisdom of our Founding Fathers, I share their view on the importance of character over charisma.

John Jay emphasized the connection between a nation's strength and the moral teachings of the Bible, shaping the character of its youth.

Samuel Adams highlighted, "The Bible, as a primary source of moral principles, is the bedrock upon which a virtuous and enlightened society is built."

As your Precinct Chair, I am committed to upholding these principles, fostering a community rooted in virtue. I value your support in this endeavor and look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

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

Do you support or oppose social programs in our schools (like C-Scope, Common Core, CRT, International Baccalaureate, SEL, etc.)? Why or why not?

  • "The Bible must be considered as the great source of all the truth by which men are to be guided in government as well as in all social transactions." – Benjamin Rush
  • "The Bible is the cornerstone of wisdom; without it, education is a foundation without support." - John Adams
  • "In the formation of the mind, the Bible is more indispensable than any other book in the world." - Thomas Jefferson
  • "A nation's strength and future lie in the moral teachings of the Bible; it shapes the character of its youth." - John Jay
  • "To neglect the teachings of the Bible in education is to abandon the moral compass essential for a just and virtuous society." - John Witherspoon
  • "The Bible, as a primary source of moral principles, is the bedrock upon which a virtuous and enlightened society is built." - Samuel Adams
  • "Education without the moral guidance found in the Bible is like a ship without a compass, drifting in uncertainty." - George Washington
  • "Our nation's greatness is rooted in the biblical principles that guide our education; it is the lamp illuminating the path of wisdom." - Patrick Henry
  • "The Bible, as the guide to righteousness, should be the cornerstone of every child's education for the preservation of a just and prosperous society." - Alexander Hamilton

No

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

Yes, precinct chairs help ecourage voter turnout

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?

Depends on if the involvment produces 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?

At Conception, Abolish Abortion

Immigration

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

Build The Wall, and Stop Illegal Immigation

Other

What does being a conservative mean to you?

We should live according to a Biblical, Christ-centered worldview. Leaders should agree with our founding fathers and embrace the Bible as our primary source of truth in all decision making.
