Washington Congressional Election 2018 Political Courage Test

Abortion

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

2. Other or expanded principles
- At the very minimum, I want to work bipartisan to save lives. I want to create legislationto take a class before having an abortion. This class would teach young people that there are other options besides abortion. Currently around 43% of abortions happen between ages of 15-24. The part of the brain recognizing consequence, doesn't fully develop until 24-25 years old. I believe that if young people know that there are better options, that abortion will follow them for the rest of their lives, they will choose a better option. This will change minds and save a lot of lives.

Budget

1. In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?
- No

2. In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending?
- No

3. Other or expanded principles
- I believe that defense is one of the most important types of spending.I do believe that there is a ton of waste. I believe that the federal government has a ton of waste. In fact, I call the federal government "the blanket of waste." If we better budget at all levels, to include the military, We should have no need to negatively cut funding. This should also give us an opportunity to cut income tax as well. We did not always have income tax and lower income tax would have a huge positive impact on quality of life and Liberty.

- Yes

2. Do you support lowering corporate taxes as a means of promoting economic growth?

Education

1. Do you support requiring states to adopt federal education standards?
- No

2. Other or expanded principles

We have to control the amount of immigrants that come into our country. Also we need to vet and control the quality of people that come here.

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.
- *Far tax - Simple just start reducing the waste in the federal government, by reducing uneeded funding, agencies , etc.*Safe schools - Also simple , use some of the funds saved from the lowered waste. Take measures to secure our schools.(ie smaller schools, locked during session, cameras, metal detectors, security, staff training, etc.)*Take care of our vets- expand treatment areas, possibly privatize the VA, we have to take care of our vets.
