Question 1 Topic: Defending Constitutional Rights

Over the past year, federal officers within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have detained individuals without cause and searched homes without a judicial warrant, which violates the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.

Will you support the Fourth Amendment right to privacy and demand an end to unlawful conduct by DHS and other government agencies?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: As a former member of the board of directors for 50501ga I am uniquely aware of the threats Americans face from DHS. In my position as State Representative I will introduce and support legislation to keep DHS out of our communities.

Question 2 Topic: Defending Constitutional Rights

Public reports estimate that since 2022, President Donald Trump has issued more than 100 threats to investigate, prosecute, imprison, or otherwise punish those who are critical of him, including news organizations and talk show hosts (such as Jimmy Kimmel). In September 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi indicted former FBI director James Comey after Trump publicly called for his prosecution.

Do you agree that the president and other government officials should not attack political enemies or those exercising their First Amendment rights?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Our rights enshrined in the constitution of freedom of speech, and freedom of expression should not be infringed upon by anyone. As a veteran I fought for the freedoms of our country and I am running for office to keep our democracy in tact.

Question 3 Topic: Defending Constitutional Rights

Videos, court statements, and internal communications show that officers of the Department of Homeland Security, including ICE agents, have knowingly and criminally acted outside of their authority. Since the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent, the administration has prevented the state of Minnesota from conducting a proper criminal investigation of the perpetrator.

Do you agree that, subject to existing legal precedent, states have the right to prosecute crimes, and will you advocate for the investigation and prosecution of crimes committed by federal officers?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: I believe every human is equal under the law. I am deeply troubled by the fact that law enforcement officers continue to get away with the laws that they are sworn to protect. I will use every ability given to me as state Representative to fight against government overreach.

Question 4: Commitment To Democratic Process

A landmark 2004 Princeton study found that a small group of elites and corporations have the greatest influence on U.S. legislation. This issue was exacerbated in 2010, when SCOTUS’s Citizens United decision paved the way for the creation of SuperPACs, which to date have spent more than $5 billion in anonymous special interest dollars to influence US elections and policy.

In your role, will you work to ensure that corporations and PACs are not able to exert undue influence on the legislative process?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: It is my belief that money has to be taken out of politics. elected officials swear an oath to the people who elect them and not corporations. My campaign has not taken money from corporate PACS nor will I ever.

Question 5 Topic: Commitment To Democratic Process

The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that authored Project 2025, has catalogued every instance of voter fraud in federal elections since 1982 and found that it occurred exceedingly rarely—about once for every

million votes. Still, unfounded claims of fraud are frequently used to cast doubt on election results and to advocate for more restrictive laws. President Trump has even called for Republicans to “nationalize” the elections, and on March 31, 2026, he signed an executive order to restrict absentee ballots.

As an elected official, will you help protect free and fair elections, and refute

unfounded claims of fraud that undermine faith in our electoral process?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: I believe our election should be secure and convenient for all. I will sign or support any legislation that truly supports improving our election system for all.

Question 6 Topic: Commitment To Democratic Process

Though congressional district maps are usually only redrawn once a decade after the census, several states, including Texas and California, passed new laws in 2025 with the explicitly partisan purpose of gerrymandering to gain more seats in the House of Representatives. In Wisconsin and Illinois, gerrymandering has resulted in the winning party receiving about 25% more House seats than their vote share.

Do you agree that fair representation requires fair maps, and will you advocate for them?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Absolutely. My personal experience on my current campaign is "Who drew these maps?" I believe electoral maps should be easier to follow and inclusive of the diversity in each district.

Question 7 Topic: Belief In System of Law

In the case of J.G.G. v. Trump, the administration disobeyed a federal court’s explicit order on March 15, 2025, to stop a deportation flight of Venezualan immigrants and to return any flights that were already in the air. The following year, on February 26, 2026, Federal Court Judge Patrick Schiltz issued an opinion detailing the Trump administration’s failure to comply with hundreds of court orders pertaining to Habeas petitions.

In your position, will you follow court orders and hold other officials

accountable for failing to do so?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: No one is above the law. I believe that our courts system should be independent and capable of enforcing our laws no matter who the accused may be.

Question 8 Topic: Belief In System of Law

Donald Trump has personally profited an estimated $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency in the second term of his presidency while simultaneously acting to deregulate the industry.

Do you believe that a president and other government officials should be required to divest from conflicts of interest during their term in office, and will you commit to doing the same?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Serving in our government is exactly that, service. As a military veteran we were taught that we were not allowed to enrich ourselves whiles serving. I will not allow myself to violate my personal character by using my position to gain personally.

Question 9 Topic: Countering Authoritarianism

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court struck down $175 billion of tariffs instituted by President Trump, determining that imposing these tariffs overstepped the bounds of his authority. The administration has also illegally withheld congressionally-appropriated funds from states and government agencies through executive action, per the Government Accountability Office.

Will you commit to supporting Congress’s power of the purse and demand an end to this form of executive overreach?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Our countries systems of checks and balances of power have been constantly violated by this president. I am running to help our country, our state, and our community reset from years of political chaos.

Question 10 Topic: Countering Authoritarianism

In 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that the president is immune from criminal liability for “official acts,” making impeachment the only reliable check on presidential power.

Do you believe that Congress has the responsibility to conduct impeachment proceedings, as it did by investigating alleged corruption by President Biden, in order to prevent corruption, abuse of power, and unconstitutional acts for which the president is otherwise unaccountable?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: No one is above the law. I believe that the supreme court that gave the president immunity from obeying laws should themselves be impeached and held liable. If we want to change our government, we have to have accountability at every level.

Question 11 Topic: Countering Authoritarianism

During his second term in office, Donald Trump has fired seventeen independent inspectors general and defunded or removed key staff from independent government watchdogs including the Office of Professional Responsibility, the Office of Government Ethics, and the Office of Special Counsel. The administration has also failed to keep adequate records, blocked the release of records (such as the Epstein Files), and claimed ownership of presidential records in violation of legal precedent and ethical standards.

In your role, will you work to ensure transparency and accountability through adequate record keeping and independent inspectors, and will you hold those who do not meet these standards accountable?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: I will help to restore trust in our government. We must hold our elected officials accountable to the law and the best way to do this is to have transparency. I will support any legislation that builds trust in our government.

Question 12 Topic: Truth in Public Discourse and Decision-Making

Despite overwhelming scientific consensus on the benefits and risks of vaccines, some high-profile critics continue to make claims about vaccines that have been debunked.

Do you believe that RFK Jr.’s choice to staff the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices with people who push easily-refuted pseudoscientific theories is harmful to Americans’ health, and will you advocate for science-based decision-making?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: As a health professional I am deeply apalled that we have allowed our Department of health to become a source for misinformation. I will support any legislation that rebuilds trust in our health department. I also believe that there should be detailed qualifications to be the head of the health department.

Question 13 Topic: Truth in Public Discourse and Decision-Making

Many public officials make false assertions when they believe it is politically useful. Vice President J.D. Vance defended this practice after claiming Haitians were eating cats and dogs, saying “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

Do you agree that lying about the facts voters use to make decisions distracts from the actual issues, and will you commit to accurately representing established facts?

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Perjury is against the law. No one is above the law. I believe that any elected official who intentionally deceives people should be removed.
