As Senator, how would you seek to protect the most vulnerable in our nation, including the lives of the unborn, the trafficked, and the elderly?

I was raised a Catholic and I was adopted. I am personally pro-life. I also think the men and women who adopt and provide foster care are real life heroes. It’s time to finish the wall and provide whatever resources we need on our southern border to cut off human trafficking and investigate and prosecute it in our communities. Finally, I believe we need to work with the states to ensure that our nursing homes have proper protocols and systems in place to handle emergency situations – such as pandemics. COVID-19 swept through our nursing homes with devastating effect and we have to ensure we’re better prepared for the next emergency.

1st Amendment: What will you do as Senator to protect Americans’ 1st Amendment rights to: the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, peaceably assembly, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, all of which are becoming more difficult to exercise in America (and around the world)?

Free speech is absolute. Period. Much of this rests on ensuring we have Supreme Court justices that are dedicated to an original interpretation of the Constitution. I will always fight to defend the First Amendment against all efforts to censor or ban from our government.

Do you believe that gun ownership is a civil right, and what are your positions in regards to red flag laws, magazine capacity bans, legislation that regulates gun storage, and permitless “Constitutional carry”?

I don’t believe in putting any more gun laws on the books.

With U.S. debt now exceeding $30 trillion and inflation at a 40-year high, what do you believe are the core problems with America’s economic and monetary policy, and what will you seek to do as Senator to correct them?

I am one of the only candidates that has made balancing the federal budget a core tenant of my campaign. When I launched this campaign, the national debt was at $28 trillion. Now it’s at $30 trillion. We are mortgaging our children’s future away for failed government programs that keep people out of the workforce. It’s time for us to cut spending and pass a balanced budget amendment.

Although the Constitution gives Congress the sole authority to declare war, this was last done 80 years ago, and since then the President has taken us to war. What are your positions on America acting as “global policeman” and what Congress’ role should be in international conflict, especially in light of the current Russia-Ukraine war, and our nation’s tensions with China, Iran, North Korea, and other world powers?

We are a constitutional republic with checks and balances, not a monarchy with a king. It’s Congress’ job to declare war, even though the president is commander-in-chief. Congress should exercise its powers under the constitution. Overseas military interventions shouldn’t go on and on without the legislative branch’s review and authorization.

As Senator, how would you seek to protect the most vulnerable in our nation, including the lives of the unborn, the trafficked, and the elderly?

I believe that life begins at conception. I will vote against government funding of abortion services and will vote to defund Planned Parenthood. I believe no public money should ever be spent on abortion procedures, abortion pills, or embryonic stem cell research.

1st Amendment: What will you do as Senator to protect Americans’ 1st Amendment rights to: the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, peaceably assembly, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, all of which are becoming more difficult to exercise in America (and around the world)?

Fight censorship by federal law enforcement working with private industry. End the federal data collection industry. End federalism and the sending of money to DC.

Do you believe that gun ownership is a civil right, and what are your positions in regards to red flag laws, magazine capacity bans, legislation that regulates gun storage, and permitless “Constitutional carry”?

Shall not be infringed.

This means what it says. My third grader understands the words.

With U.S. debt now exceeding $30 trillion and inflation at a 40-year high, what do you believe are the core problems with America’s economic and monetary policy, and what will you seek to do as Senator to correct them?

End the federal reserve, a private organization that is setting a price cap on interest rates. Price fixing doesn’t work for any commodity including interest rates.

To be clear national debt is a bad thing and our number one enemy.

Although the Constitution gives Congress the sole authority to declare war, this was last done 80 years ago, and since then the President has taken us to war. What are your positions on America acting as “global policeman” and what Congress’ role should be in international conflict, especially in light of the current Russia-Ukraine war, and our nation’s tensions with China, Iran, North Korea, and other world powers?

We should not be a global policeman. Nor should we fund proxy wars with debt.
