On The Ballot: Running, Republican for U.S. House (OH) - District 1
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? | ||
|
|||
We need to protect the money that Americans pay into Social Security and Medicare and make sure it is not used for other government programs. That is why I have consistently supported the Social Security Preservation Act. |
No | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
|
|||
The Supreme Court has made clear that limits on such contributions are unconstitutional. |
Unknown Position | Do you support the protection of government officials, including law enforcement officers, from personal liability in civil lawsuits concerning alleged misconduct? | ||
|
|||
I support the preservation of qualified immunity for police officers when acting within the scope of their official duties. I would have to review any other legislation that impacts other liability protections before reaching a decision. |
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? |
Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
No | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, geo-thermal)? | ||
|
|||
I think we should provide incentives for the development of renewable energy, but not direct federal subsidies. Also, I support reasonable regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, similar to those already in place. I do not support a massive expansion of such regulations, as proposed in the Green New Deal. |
No | Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
I think we need to enforce the laws already enacted. |
Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
Yes | Do you support requiring businesses to provide paid medical leave during public health crises, such as COVID-19? | ||
|
|||
I voted for similar provisions as part of the CARES Act. |
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? |
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)? | ||
Yes | 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.)? |
Our top priority must be defeating COVID-19. We must take the necessary steps to make sure a vaccine is approved and available to all Americans. We need to continue to safely reopen our economy, and help small businesses impacted by the virus. In particular, I am working to extend and expand the Paycheck Protection Program, giving smaller employers and those still struggling to maintain their workforce access to the resources they need to stay afloat. |
