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

I will continue to oppose pro-abortion legislation, fight to overturn the Reproductive Health Equity Act (HB22-1279),advocate for education that promotes the biological fact that life starts at conception and is sacred at every stage.

I will fight against human trafficking, by increasing penalties for these crimes, investigating/ terminating root causes, and educating citizens to watch for signs and activity.

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”?

Gun ownership is a right, and I support Constitutional carry. I do not support red flag laws, magazine capacity bans, or any legislation that regulates gun storage.

As a State Senator, what will you do to improve the education of our K – 12 students? What is your position on parental authority in education, including school choice?

As I mentioned in my vision statement, CRT, SEL, & agendas that demoralize and sexualize of our children is destructive, inappropriate, and has absolutely no place in our schools. I would improve student education by promoting curriculum that produces well-informed voters (emphasize civics, economics, how to complete taxes, how to budget finances, factor costs/benefits of a loan, etc.). Parents should have school choice and have full parental authority in their child’s education. The government has no say as to how our children are raised.

What is your vision for being a Colorado State Senator?

Free people, Smaller government. Paul has worked to advance the cause of charter schools, innovation, and choice in education, supporting the right and responsibility of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children. An unflagging champion for “Smaller Government, Freer People”, Paul knows a free market approach naturally eliminates bad and outdated ideas and businesses over time, as opposed to government bureaucracies which tend to live on and expand even when proven inefficient. Paul has fought this dynamic in the sphere of education, which is a prime example of the inadequacies of government controlled and managed systems.

What will you do as Colorado State Senator to protect our 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)?

After scripture, the words of 1st Amendment to the US Constitution are the most beautiful and powerful words written on behalf of human freedom and sovereignty. I will continue to fight to assure that no voice is cancelled–even perspectives with which I disagree. That is the American way; over time the voice of common sense and common decency will win out. But this concept has been under assault by leftist activists that seek to shout down voices like mine that have a more constitutional perspective.

Do you believe that the government has the legal power and authority to dictate what a person does with his or her body? If so, how?

The crux of the great political experiment known as America is found in the power of the sovereignty and responsibility of the individual. All of the principles that build and promote freedom and progress in America are rooted in this idea. Even the ability to protect those weaker than ourselves are rooted in and must be harmonized with this principle. I have led the fight for several years, including prior to and during the pandemic, for personal medical autonomy. The government must not require of a sovereign individual medical choices that person would not take in protection of that individual’s personal pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. I have led the fight against vaccine registries and other government intrusions.
