Florida Congressional Election 2022 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| I support Pro-life legislation. I do not support pro-choice legislation. As the Supreme Court recently stated when it struck down Roe v. Wade, the issue of abortion must be dealt with on a state-by-state level. However, since abortion is homicide Congress does have the jurisdiction to restrict and prohibit abortions. The US congress must pass legislation to protect life. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| No | Do you support expanding federal funding to support entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
| Yes | Do you support increasing defense spending? | ||
| I believe in peace through strength. A strong and prepared military is our best defense. | |||
| No | Do you support federal spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | Do you support providing financial relief to businesses AND/OR corporations negatively impacted by the state of national emergency for COVID-19? | ||
| No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
| No | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| As the most pro-Second Amendment member of the Florida legislature, I sponsored Constitutional Carry legislation, advocated for Open Carry legislation and introduced a bill to make Florida a Second Amendment Sanctuary state. I believe in the literal interpretation of the Second Amendment, �the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.� | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| No | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||
| Yes | Do you support requiring immigrants who are unlawfully present to return to their country of origin before they are eligible for citizenship? | ||
| I strongly oppose illegal immigration and sanctuary cities and support completing the wall on our southern border begun under the Trump Administration. I support an immigration moratorium to stop the constant influx of legal and illegal aliens. I voted for SB 1808 which was signed into law by Gov. DeSantis earlier this year, targeting transportation companies that bring undocumented immigrants into the state and expanding a 2019 law (which I voted for) to ban sanctuary cities. Although this bill is a good step forward, I?m a proponent of E-Verify for private employers as the best way to end illegal immigration. | |||
| Yes | Should the United States use military force to prevent governments hostile to the U.S. from possessing a weapon of mass destruction (for example: nuclear, biological, chemical)? | ||
| No | Do you support reducing military intervention in Middle East conflicts? | ||
| Yes | Do you generally support removing barriers to international trade (for example: tariffs, quotas, etc.)? | ||
| My top three issues are, build the wall, ban transgender surgeries on children, shut down the federal Department of Education. We�re under attack by an anti-American enemy from within that seeks to dismantle the history, traditions and institutions that make America Great. I�ll push the RINO�s in Congress to shift from defense to offense. Rather than constantly defending against the Radical Left�s insanity, we will set the agenda. I�m the strongest fiscal and social conservative with a proven track record of standing for traditional Republican principles for the last four years as a member of the Florida State Legislature. |
