Policy Positions

Missouri Congressional Election 2018 Political Courage Test

Abortion

1. Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
- Unknown Position

2. Other or expanded principles
- Life begins at conception and is a gift from God not a "choice" for murder. You're either FOR the Constitutional right to LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness or against it. God has His hand on every life, but the responsibility is ours, (through 10th Amendment) in our communities, to protect and enforce the Founders' intent to protect ALL life under the Constitution. Those committing murder under guises of "choice" will have their Judgement Day; their moral compass is theirs to tend. But we would be as guilty if we did not fight to protect the unborn.

Administrative Priorities

Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
- 1. Dismantling the "Deep State" - the autocratic system of government as created and maintained by Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.-This effort will not require additional funding. 2. Build the Wall on the Southern Border- Divert money wasted in overseas programs to support this project. This year, we will spend $8.5 billion in Afghanistan for anti-narcotics operations alone, projections suggest the narcotics problem will worsen. We need to pull out of this program altogether and divert it towards our southern border. 3. Tearing the Socialist Wires out of ObamaCare- This does not require funding.
