The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Stebbins' responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. I am a retired Correctional Officer in Florida. I was born in Chicago, Illinois. I moved to Florida in 2000, and worked for the prison system. I believe in abiding by the Constitution. I am also to the point, and not the prim and proper phoney politician. I would like big money out of government and the manipulation to cease. Abide by the Constitution, what's so hard about it? Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Second Amendment absolutist! Repeal the NFA of 1934, and other unconstitutional gun \"laws\". What other RIGHT is so heavily regulated by bureaucratic agencies? What part of shall NOT be infringed is so complicated to understand? I believe in decriminalization of drugs at the federal level, as this appears to be more of a states rights issue. Cut foreign aid off. COMPLETELY. We are becoming what we fought against. Imperialistic by buying influence and thus enforcing our will. We need to settle the corruption in our own government and our own problems first. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Just abide by the Constitution. It's not hard. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? Ron Paul. He just tells it how it is, whether people want to hear it or not. What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Integrity. By far! Everyone makes mistakes, but to willingly compromise Constitutional principles, through greed, corruption, or to force a political agenda is unacceptable. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Abide by the Constitution, and represent your neighbor to the best of your abilities. What legacy would you like to leave? I don't want a legacy. I have served the public most of my adult life. Politicians are servants, not leaders. There's a big difference. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? My first real job was a welder. Had it for a few years until I moved on to something different. What is your favorite book? Why? The Prince. It opens one's eyes to how manipulators operate. If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be? I just want to be me. Flaws and all. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? To represent one's neighbor, and their best interests. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? No, in fact the house was created for the common man to represent their neighbor. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? CORRUPTION! Specifically the influence of campaign donations from entities that are greedy and do not have the people's best intrest in mind. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? I do! What are your thoughts on term limits? I am for them! Too many congressional members have made a career out of a temporary office. Ask yourself why? Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? Ron Paul Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful? I hear a lot! But not enough room to list any and all. Sorry. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? As long as it follows the Constitution. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? I'm for dismantling the Federal Reserve, and it's enforcer, the Internal Revenue Service. Solutions will present themselves when members act as a team in the people's interests. Not in a conglomerate of private banks interests. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? To hold oath breakers accountable. As the citizens of The United States of America are waking up to the manipulation that is being thrust upon US. What is an accomplishment that you are proud of? I have served the public most of my adult life, and will continue to do so in whatever fashion. What role should the United States government have in the development or use of artificial intelligence? None\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.

The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Stebbins' responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. I am a resident of Florida's 3rd Congressional District. I believe In smaller Federal Government, specifically intrusion on individual rights and liberties. I am also very much against wasteful \"pork\" spending, as well continuous foreign aid to other countries without oversight, as we have our own problems at home we need to contend with. I am also a gun rights advocate, and believe abolishing unconstitutional laws/acts/agencies such as the National Firearms Act of 1934, and any subsequent agency tasked with policy making. I am a proponent of decriminalizing \"recreational\" drug use at the Federal level, as these are a state's rights issue. I believe we need to work with in the parameters of the U.S. Constitution, not skirt it for political or corporate gain. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Gun Rights Shall NOT Be Infringed. Foreign Aid Can And Should Be Heavily Reduced, If Not Outright Phased Out. Decriminalize \"Recreational\" Drug Use At The Federal Level. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? The Second Amendment Makes ALL People Equal To Push Back Against Criminals AND Tyranny. It Is Not Within Governments Authority To Regulate, Restrict, Or Impede On An Inalienable RIGHT To Poses Whatever Firearm One Deems Fit To Defend Life, Liberty, And Property. Simple Questions As To WHY Do We Give Foreign Aid To So Many Countries? WHY Are The American Tax Payers On The Hook To Repay The Federal Reserve Without Any Oversight Or Justifiable Reason's? Who's Interest's Is It Really For? The Approach On Decriminalizing \"Recreational\" Drugs, Is An Easy One To Justify On The Federal Level. You Simply Can't Tell People What They Can Put In Their Bodies. The War On Drugs Is Literally A Racket. Think Of How Prohibition Gave Organized Crime More Power. The Flip Side (Like With Alcohol) Is If One Commit's Crimes While Under The Influence, They Pay The Consequences. But This Should Be A State Issue. . Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? Ron Paul. Simply Put, Get Big Government Out Of The Way And Let People Live Freely As Outlined In Constitution. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Represent Their Constituents To The Best Of Their Ability, To Make Sure Everyone Has A Voice, Even If You Personally Disagree With it, And Protect Their Freedoms. What legacy would you like to leave? I Don't Want A Legacy. I just Want People To Know I Am Willing To Stand Up For Them And Protect Their Constitutional Rights. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? The Common Person Able To Represent Their Community. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? No! The House Of Representatives Was Designed For The Common Person To Be Able To Speak On Behalf Of Their Neighbors Within The Bounds Of The Constitution. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? The Greatest Challenge Appears To Be Internal Influences. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? Yes What are your thoughts on term limits? I Am For Term Limits, As House/Senate Members Appear To Become Too Comfortable With Making A Career Out Of Politics, Rather Than Obeying Their Constituents Within The Bounds Of The Constitution. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? Ron Paul Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? It Depends If It Goes Along With, Or Against The Constitution. The Constitution Restricts Government, Not The People. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? Abide By The Law Of The Land. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? It Most Hold Those In Power Accountable If A Crime Or Violation Of Oath Has Been Committed.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
