Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.
Strongly Agree
There should be a strict constitutional spending limit for state and local governments that would tie the rate of spending to the rate of population growth plus the rate of inflation.
Agree
Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.
Disagree
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
Strongly Disagree
Free-market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.

Agree
The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings.
Strongly Disagree

Strongly Disagree
Our state should participate in the nationwide Common Core standards for high-school graduation.
Strongly Disagree
Physician-assisted suicide should be legal.
Strongly Disagree
The more people live by Judeo-Christian values, the less government is needed.
Strongly Agree
Islamic law (Sharia) does not pose a threat to the United States and its Constitution.

Strongly Agree
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The sinful nature of every human being causes us to constantly seek more power and authority to require everyone conform to our own personal ideals--government is no different. The separation of powers keeps each branch in line and limits authority of one branch over the other.
Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.
God - Constitution - People
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. I believe I am a redeemed child of God who has not and cannot do anything to earn my salvation. I believe in the Triune God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), three persons in one God. I believe Jesus Christ, God's Son, is true God and was sent to earth, born of a virgin, to suffer and die for the sins of the world. I believe Jesus triumphantly rose from the dead and ascended into heaven where he prepares a place for all believers to join him on Judgment day for eternity. My spiritual beliefs are the source of my values.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I have a 100% pro-life voting record. I have sponsored or cosponsored every God-pleasing, conservative family-friendly bill. I take my oath to the Constitution very seriously as can be found from my duties on the Judiciary Committee, particularly supporting the end of the abusive practices of the Joh Doe Laws in Wisconsin. I vote to protect property rights and support what I believe to be God-pleasing environmental issues. I have supported election reforms in Wisconsin such as photo ID at the polls. I believe and have supported lower taxes, which allows citizens to keep more of their hard-earned wages to benefit their family and church. I want lower income children to have access to education that suits their religious beliefs.
