2022 Questionnaire
Please share briefly what inspired you to run for this office and why you feel you’re qualified for the position.
America must take back authorities taken from them by our greedy, ambitious, politicians. The US Govt has no authority inside the States. My mission is to restore that sovereign status to the States.
What policies would you propose for dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our state’s economy?
I disagree with most efforts to regulate our 2nd Amendment. Even 'ghost' guns. The true purpose of our 2nd Amendment is for revolt, if needed. We should be very mindful of that while contemplating any weapons laws.
Nevada has historically protected the right to abortion, including protecting the right in statute 30 years ago by a vote of the people. However, there remain barriers to access in the state. Do you support not only the right to abortion but policies that improve equitable access to abortion care?
Information and advisement only. In a free country, there can be no mandates or other edicts from a government entity. All those that were put in place are criminal in nature.
The state of Nevada is facing an unprecedented shortage of health care providers – a problem that impacts every area of medicine, including the provision of sexual and reproductive care. Do you support removing the physician-only requirement and allowing advanced practice clinicians (APCs) to provide this vital care to patients with training and certification?
I am running for Federal office. How Nevada chooses to address this is their business, not mine. However, I generally oppose any regulatory laws which are meant only to control peoples lives.
Comprehensive, age and developmentally appropriate, medically-accurate, inclusive sex education has been proven to improve students’ long-term health outcomes, yet it is not required that students be provided with this information in their sex-ed programs. Do you believe that public school sex-ed programs should be comprehensive, medically accurate, and inclusive?
I support the Right of anyone when it comes to their own personal being. (SCOTUS in Roe v. Wade, "A person has SOLE DOMINION over their own physical being"). But no taxpayer funds should be allocated to such functions. Abortions should be legal, but not on the taxpayers dime. So, yes, then no to your two-stage question.
It is well documented that patients of color face greater obstacles to obtaining sexual and reproductive health care than non-Hispanic white Americans – a pattern that results in worse health outcomes overall for BIPOC patients. Do you not only acknowledge systemic racism’s role in public health disparities but will you pursue policies that seek to rectify the historical harm of systemic racism and advance equitable access to health care?
I disagree that the premise is 'proven'. Before this can be answered, I need to see your 'proof'. However, I generally feel that anything sexual, or gender related ought to be taught at home, by the parents or legal guardians, and NOT in public schools. Particularly with the 'interpretations' we are now hearing.
Knowing that the death penalty is exorbitantly expensive, racially discriminatory, and does not promote true healing for victims family members, do you support its abolition and do you think ending the death penalty is a crucial part of criminal justice reform?
There is no 'systemic racism' in America. That is a falseho0od perpetuated by the democrat Party, thus causing more racism. America rid itself of that after MLK. Therefore, once again, I disagree with your premise. This is a very leading question and needs to be removed or re-written.
Anti-transgender bills are being introduced across the United States that attempt to trans prevent people from having access to health care, gender re-assignment surgery, and access to sports in schools. Do you support transgender equality and access to healthcare and an athletic school experience?
I have NEVER supported permitting any government to use Capital Punishment, for ANY reason. However, once again, your question is improperly put. The death penalty is NOT a racist function. That part of your question is out of line.
Nevada has a significant undocumented population, how will you ensure your office is accessible to all Nevadans?
According to our treaties with them, they are on their own to develop their own society as they see fit. Before we just start gifting them tax dollars, find out why this situation exists, first. Meaning, why haven't they stepped up for themselves?
How would you use your office to strengthen the rights of the undocumented population and their access to their legal protections, critical public services, and quality of life?
I feel anyone that comes here to work is worth investing. Once they enter the workforce and pay taxes, they should be part of America. So, in this case, yes. But NOT for this recent surge brought in only to sway the next election.
Describe your understanding of the Confidential Address Program. What would be your approach to inform community members of this program?
Yes and no. NO to any government mandated 'protections', and yes to employer oversight. Our governments need to back out of regulatory legislation and let people live.
