Over the past year there has been a sharp rise in the expression of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism both across our nation and in Colorado, especially among youth. What do you view as the cause(s) of these sociopolitical issues, and what if anything should be done to address them?

As an elected official, what initiatives would you champion to improve the local economy, and what are your priorities for addressing policies on water, energy, and other resources?

If elected, what would you do to help improve the educational outcomes for students in our area? What is your position on parental authority in K-12 education, including school choice, parental notifications, etc.?

If elected, what will you do to protect your constituents’ rights to freedom of religion, speech, peaceable assembly, and petitioning the government for a redress of grievances?

I will simply maintain and expand the protections for people’s rights to all of the above and do my utmost to block measures to infringe on those rights.

I believe people who voice concerns or outright frustration with the way America as a country is run ebbs and flows with the tides of the winners of elections, choices made by the government not resonating with the people, salaries not rising as quickly as costs of living and locally things like housing not being available or being so prohibitively expensive young people especially don’t even want to try to own a home. To address these issues I would suggest: Not vilifying each other by party lines and refuting based on merit and fact, being more clear about the processes that governments use to come to their decisions and teaching those processes in schools as tools to inform the electorate.

As an elected official, what initiatives would you champion to improve the local economy, and what are your priorities for addressing policies on water, energy, and other resources?

I would seek to pass laws around making life simpler and less expensive for the working class. For water, I would mandate things like more comprehensive filtration of harmful chemicals and plastics. For energy I would raise incentives for renewables like home based solar and virtual power plants. For other resources like groceries I would push for more locally grown farms and locally sourced products to help bring down costs associated with transport and storage and require that these savings be passed down to the consumer.

I would increase transparency and accountability of how funds are spent and what is being taught in schools. That accountability will allow parents to have a better grasp on what their children are learning and how the money that they are paying to public schools through taxes is being allocated. These tools will help us pinpoint things we can do as a community to improve schools for all of Colorado. Besides those things, I would increase teacher pay. This will reduce the turnover rate for teachers in the state and take a lot of stress away from teachers worried about making ends meet.

Parental rights are under direct attack by many laws passed the last few years in Colorado. One democrat representative said many time, “they are not your children, they belong to the state,” this last year. That is abhorrent. God gives us our children to rear them in Him and guide their lives. Our children DO NOT belong to the state or to the public school system, they belong to the parents. Parents have the right and the responsibility to put their children in the school they deem best or home school or any other decision they deem best. The governments responsibility is to support the decisions of the parents. The state and the public school systems has become far to overreaching and needs to be pushed back.

Illegal immigration is the biggest problem we have in the US right now. Open borders are leading to higher crime rates and growing violent crimes. Illegal immigration has exponentially increased human trafficking. The growing anti-semitism on college campuses has been fueled by illegal immigration and funding from groups WITHIN our own country that are trying to tear to our country. This has directly affected CO and specifically El Paso county. We are seeing illegals being bussed and flown into our state and also to Colorado Springs. I have followed the busses and see the illegals myself. Then our government officials lie to us about this. We must close our borders and send illegals back to their countries.
