Survey Response:

Will you as a city council member work for public policy that promotes a Consistent Ethic of Life and The Common Good?

Yes. I believe it is the government’s role to preserve the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness which are the foundation of this great nation.

Will you as a city councilor appoint, recommend or request (depending on your level of authority) only library board candidates who oppose the inclusion of pornography in public libraries, whether by internet or printed materials?

Absolutely, I have already been to school board meetings in opposition of pornographic books in school libraries. I have also canvassed to educate the public on this matter.


What is your position on public libraries hosting Drag Queen Story Hours?

I Oppose. I do not believe taxpayers should be forced to fund ideas that go against their morals and religious beliefs.


Will you diligently seek and maintain zoning ordinances, licensing procedures, permit requirements and operational regulations which serve to minimize the adverse secondary effects of Sexually-Oriented Businesses? 

Yes


What is your position on the legal production, processing and sale of recreational marijuana in the jurisdiction of the office you are seeking?

This one is hard because it is legal, businesses have been established, and families could be hurt by their lost wages.

1 Peter 5:8 says, be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

But yet we have alcohol and established businesses that sell alcohol.

If this was a preventative question, I would clearly oppose it.

A solution that comes quickly to mind is to place restrictions on where marijuana businesses can operate. For example, only outside the city’s boundaries. We could also place restrictions on how many can be located within so many square miles or per capita or we don’t allow anymore to come and set up shops in our community.  

In conclusion, I fully support placing it on the ballot so the citizens can vote on what THEY want for their local community.


Given the importance of livable and affordable neighborhoods for the city's wellbeing, is quality city planning important to you? 

But of course, this is why I am running for Battle Ground City Council


Would you apply Critical Race Theory to city zoning to produce equitable demographic outcomes?

No. I do not judge a person by the content of their skin, gender, religion, or sexuality. I judge based on the content of their works. I believe everyone is equal and therefore should be treated as equals and have the same opportunities.


Does a unique human life begins at conception?

Yes


Do you believe that the right to life of the unborn child is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment?

Yes


Is taking the life of a pre-born child through abortion ever morally permissible? 

I believe when you make abortion an easily accessible solution, you devalue the purpose behind why God created the loving and affectionate act of sex, and it ultimately hurts society. We need more open discussion on the negative effects of abortion. Right now, many only see a one-sided narrative, which shows abortion as the only solution when you do not want your baby.

In extreme cases I believe there may be cause for an abortion and only before the fetal heartbeat can be detected.  For example, to save the mother's life and cases of rape or incest.


Should Planned Parenthood be contracted with to make community presentations, provide literature, birth control chemicals or devices, and/or abortion services?

No


Will you work for compassionate solutions to homelessness?

Yes


Are you an active member in a church, synagogue, temple, mosque or other religious assembly?

I attend Church on the Rock and Church of Truth


Is the collaboration of government with faith-based charitable works good for our communities?

I believe so.

What is your position on your city council instituting (or continuing) a prayer at the start of the meeting?

I support.
