Lee Brian did not complete [the profile publisher]'s 2022 Candidate Connection survey.

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

1) Furthering President Trump's agenda.

2) Bringing more Open Source to Congress.

3) Making 18 the age of adult across the board and fixing other issues that our youth face.[4][5]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

I personally, believe abortion is murder and understand how other's justify the need to kill an unborn child. However, I believe the Federal Government should not govern the individual's rights. The Fed and society have already said anything under the age of 18 has no legal rights, and it is up to the parents to protect. When parents are deemed unfit, the state takes the kids away. The Federal government should in no way pay for or support abortion. I would apply the same to the need to euthanize an adult. However, a woman wishing to abort her child for reasons outside of a medical emergency will be required to register her abortion and wave her rights to fertility assistance if the government provided it and would be last to adopt a child. She must also get the permission of the father and paternal grandparents first. If they wish to keep the child, they would have to monetarily compensate her for her portion of the DNA and if she carries the child to term. Now that we are creating artificial wombs, a rape victim who does not wish to keep the child should have the option to transfer the fetus to an AW. I also believe we have the right to bear arms, but if you take my right to a gun away I will use my Claymore or a sling shot.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[5]

[the profile publisher] also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Lee Brian answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My dad, because his ethics and principles made me who I am. He considers both sides to an argument and how to get people to argue his point during a discussion. He also taught me being upfront and honest is the best way to earn or keep trust. Respect is something earned not given, and that politicians are out for themselves.[5]

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

My entire family tree has fought in every war to make America or protect America. I'd say watch: The Patriot, Braveheart, Die Hard, and every Clint Eastwood movie.[5]

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Unwavering principles, the courage to fight for what is right for everyone, and the steadfast honesty to tell it like it is even if it pains them to.[5]

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

The ability to imagine what it is like to walk in someone else's shoes.[5]

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Not finding new ways to line their pockets with money so they can fund their 2018 campaign.[5]

What legacy would you like to leave?

The ability to achieve one's dreams during their lifetime and not have to struggle in doing so.[5]

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Ross Perot and 1992 election, which was days before my 9th birthday. I remember sitting in our Gastonia living room playing with scrap yarn and watching the election results. I'd been hearing about the election all year, but I really recall that moment.[5]

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Cici's Pizza in Gastonia for about six months, because we moved not long after I got it. It took me forever to get a job and to this day it still takes too long.[5]

What happened on your most awkward date?

Watch my movie "Serious Applicants Only", I used several experiences and changed some of the facts to make it unique to the movie story.[5]

What is your favorite holiday? Why?

Halloween, it's fun to dress up and see what other people dress up as.[5]

What is your favorite book? Why?

Comic books, because I grew up watching Batman, and Lois and Clark.[5]

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Wonder Woman[5]

What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?

My Roku player.[5]

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

The Cybil theme song.[5]

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Trying to get people to understand God's plan and how my path has put me right where I am.[5]

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

They are the first to see a bill and decide to pass it.[5]

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

If I did, I would not be running.[5]

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Making progress, while other nations interfere. Corrupt individuals trying to profit off our decline to weaken us, so other nations potentially over throw U.S.[5]

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

I have not given it much thought, because I have not had time to research if I am given a choice. I have been working part time and preparing to film a movie.[5]

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes[5]

What are your thoughts on term limits?

It's the number of term limits allowed and I think if it was just like the President, we could keep a fresh perspective in the government. Even though, the current way does mean the people who care have to fight harder to prove it, which doesn't help if corrupt individuals are stacking the deck.[5]

What process do you favor for redistricting?

No more splitting counties up, it causes confusion with the voters. Johnston County used to be one district and now it's two. Part of district two is now in other counties, which is absurd.[5]

If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?

Sure. I'm not sure which role at the moment.[5]

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I know who I don't want to be like, and that is Paul Ryan.[5]

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've met people juggling 3 jobs to support their dreams and their families. People who went from full time to part time due to Obamacare. Businesses who had to lay off employees who couldn't afford to keep them, and worse a well known corporation who laid off a person and in the same meeting invited them to reapply just months after they were forced to raise their starting pay to 10 dollars. Regulations are hurting people and we need a minimum wage solution that will help small businesses grow and prevent parents from taking on extra jobs.[5]
