I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Under no circumstances.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

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 consistent conservative record. I have stood up for traditional marriage, fought to keep restrooms safe for families, and I will stand firm for lower taxes on working families and businesses. I won't back down in the fight to repeal of Obamacare.
