Position on Issues

Should the federal government ban certain "military-style" firearms, such as the AR-15?

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Do you support abolishing any federal agencies or departments?

"I would need a much more clear and better understanding of all agencies and departments before I could give an opinion on this question."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Do you support a constitutional amendment limiting terms for U.S. representatives and senators?

"It's a service, not a career. Long term politicians mostly have 'forgotten' the people that are supposed to serve and in the end only focus on staying in power and getting re-elected. 5-6 years is the maximum anyone should be allowed to serve."

Should the federal government combat inflation by requiring budget cuts to match any new federal spending?

Should the U.S. send military forces to Taiwan if China attacks the island?

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Do you support a federal rule that would oblige automakers to make 50% or more of the vehicles they sell electric?

"Let the consumers decide what they want, not the government!!!"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Do you support ending China's Permanent Normal Trade Relations status?

"I believe we need to have a conversation, as a nation, within congress, to decide how to move forward on trade with China. I feel this is an issue that is larger than one persons opinion. I personally need to understand more than I currently know about this question to have a 'personal' stand. I feel that there is a lot of information that is held privileged to the current elected officials on this subject that I would need to be aware of to make a knowledgeable decision on this question."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Do you support revising Title IX to limit participation in female sports based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth?

"Why should we be dependant on oil and gas from other countries when we have our own right here?"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Should the federal government limit certain firearm purchases to residents over age twenty-one?

"I feel the answer is to perform more robust background checks and close the 'buy at a gunshow without a check' loophole that exists in some states currently. NO GUN should ever be able to be transferred to another without a proper background check on who is on the receiving end."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Should the government legalize marijuana at the federal level?

"We have spent hundreds of millions of dollars enforcing marijuana laws over the years and have incarcerated many. many of our citizens over this matter. Why?? Many of the states have legalized it. There are legitimate medical uses of it. This is no different then alcohol and needs to be regulated the same way. Honestly, when was the last time someone that wanted to obtain marijuana was not able to? Why are we wasting tax payers dollars on this?"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Should the federal government reform Social Security by requiring means testing?

"I feel that as far as 'means testing' goes, that there should be some income level whereas social security would no longer payout. I feel that the social security tax should be levied on all income, regardless of the amount."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Should the U.S. build a physical wall between Mexico and the U.S.?

"ABSOLUTELY!!!! Nothing more to say on the matter!"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

"I believe that with the cooperation of the Mexican Government we can have a successful campaign to end the hold that the drug cartels have on both of our countries thru military actions."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Should the U.S. government continue to provide military aid to Ukraine (without putting U.S. soldiers on the ground)?

"I would be more inclined to support this activity if there were more measures put into place to audit where the aid is actually going. Ukraine had an opportunity to join NATO and did not take it."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Would you pardon former president Donald Trump if he is convicted?

"I believe that continuing to pursue this democratic lynching of a former president will do this country no good in the long run. If I were president, and if he were convicted, I would provide any and all pardons to Donald Trump."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Do you support allowing the federal government to negotiate lower prices for prescription drugs covered under Medicare?

"So long as the drug companies continue to sell their products in other countries at a price lower than what they sell them here to our own people we should support out government initiating price negotiations on the peoples behalf."

Should the federal government privatize some or all of Social Security?

"Against"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2023

Should the federal government reform social security by raising the cap on income subject to the Social Security tax?
