Constitution Candidate Questionnaire

I support fully repealing PICA — including its ban on so-called “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines — and I oppose any firearm or magazine registration.

I support repealing or dismantling the FOID card system, so law-abiding residents don’t need a government permit to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

I oppose expanding red-flag / Firearms Restraining Order laws, and I support strong due-process protections before anyone’s firearms can be taken.

I support restoring real consequences for violent and armed offenders, and fixing the parts of the SAFE-T Act that put dangerous criminals back on the street.

I support expanding the right to carry — including constitutional (permitless) carry for law-abiding adults.

I oppose magazine-capacity limits, and I support repealing the current caps.

I oppose the sweeping “sensitive place” and gun-free-zone restrictions that make a concealed-carry license nearly impossible to actually use.

I support Illinois’ firearm dealers, gunsmiths, and manufacturers, and I oppose new licensing, taxes, insurance mandates, and liability laws designed to put them out of business.

I oppose new taxes on ammunition, ammunition serialization, and any point-of-sale registration of ammunition buyers.

I oppose waiting periods, “one gun a month” rules, and other mandates that delay or limit lawful firearm purchases.

I will defend free speech, and I oppose any government effort to pressure platforms, banks, or employers into silencing lawful political or personal expression.

I will protect the free exercise of religion and conscience rights, and I oppose government mandates that force people to violate their sincerely held beliefs.

I oppose warrantless government surveillance and mass data collection on law-abiding citizens, and I support requiring a proper warrant before the government searches your data or property.

I support strong due-process protections and oppose civil asset forfeiture that lets the government take property without a criminal conviction.

I treat my oath to the Constitution as binding, and I will vote against legislation that plainly violates constitutional limits — even when it is popular.

I oppose government and corporate efforts to “debank,” deplatform, or demonetize firearm dealers, manufacturers, gun-rights groups, and lawful firearm content, and I'll fight to keep the 2A community's access to banks, payment processors, and online platforms.

I will protect the right to peacefully assemble and organize for gun rights — 2A rallies, gun shows, clubs, and advocacy groups — free from government harassment or shutdown.

I oppose forcing gun stores or firearm owners to post, fund, or distribute government anti-gun messaging as a condition of doing business or exercising their rights.

I oppose any government registry or database of firearm owners, firearms, or ammunition — a list of gun owners is a roadmap to confiscation.

I oppose special credit-card “merchant codes” and any financial tracking that lets government or corporations monitor who buys firearms and ammunition.

I oppose warrantless inspections of gun owners' homes for “safe storage” or compliance — the government should need a real warrant based on probable cause.

I oppose using license-plate readers, geofence warrants, or purchased location data to surveil people at gun stores, ranges, and gun shows.

I oppose confiscating anyone's firearms without due process — no American should lose their guns without notice and a fair hearing first.

I support restoring Second Amendment rights to people who have completed their sentences and pose no danger, and I oppose permanently stripping gun rights without a criminal conviction.

I oppose laws that turn lawfully owned firearms or magazines into contraband, and I reject forcing citizens to surrender or destroy property they legally bought.

I support Tenth Amendment limits on federal power, and I oppose federal agencies like the ATF creating gun rules that Congress never passed.

I support Second Amendment sanctuary protections — state and local governments should refuse to enforce gun laws that violate the Constitution.

I support strong state firearm preemption so anti-gun localities can't impose a patchwork of restrictions on law-abiding gun owners.
