Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
There is one and only one living and true God. Salvation is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Christ is the eternal Son of God, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man; it is perfect and without error. All Christians are under obligation to seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our lives and we have a duty to endeavor to spread the Gospel of Christ and to make disciples of the nations.

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
These are just a few of things I've been blessed to be a part of in 2015. I represented the First Amendment rights of Texas police officer's when the City of Beaumont banned police officers from having Bible Study on their lunch break. When Houston wanted to allow Men to use Women's restrooms, I worked pro-bono with the Campaign for Houston. I served as an attorney on the case when Mayor of Houston subpoenaed the sermon's of area pastors. When two teachers were fired for standing up for their faith and refusing to call a six-year-old girl a boy as her same-sex dads demanded, I represented them pro-bono. When Texas Pastors wanted to tell the Texas Supreme Court about the need for Religious Liberty in education, I drafted and filed the amicus brief with the Texas Supreme Court.

Additional comment from candidate:
Texans are tired of politicians saying one thing and doing another. We must elect servant leaders with a record that evidences what they believe is true. I believe that my record of defending the Religious Liberties of others and advocating for the unborn shows that I am man of action, not just words. I would be honored to have your vote.
