Why This Bill Matters

A Fair Starting Point for Both Parents

Instead of one parent being relegated to visitor status by default, every custody case begins from a presumption of equal custody — ensuring parental equality and that neither parent starts at a disadvantage.

A New Start at Equality | Robert Garza

Why This Bill Matters

Guarantees a presumptive right to appear remotely in non-evidentiary family court hearings, protecting working parents and self-represented litigants from default judgments caused by inability to attend in person.

Equal Access for Self-Represented Litigants

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

Vaccinations only if absolute scientific proof that there are no adverse effects - for example, polio. I would not require COVID vaccines.

HEALTHCARE

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C

Said he would not require COVID-19 vaccines and that he supports vaccine mandates only with "absolute scientific proof" of no adverse effects.
