Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I’m a conservative, evangelical Christian who believes the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that all people—including the unborn—are created in the image of God, and that God is sovereign over all the affairs of man.
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.
While not having held public office, you can find a track record of me fighting for these values by looking at press releases on my website, jdwinteregg.com. You can also click on links to articles I've had published in newspapers either written by more or about me defending what was right in the public sphere.

Additional comment from candidate:
There are three things that should be considered when supporting a candidate for Congress in 2016: 1.) values of a candidate; 2.) proven record of the candidate to publicly fight for conservative values (which is what many people want in a representative, considering the anti-establishment groundswell); 3.) what this candidate represents for the future of conservatism. I am a strong conservative, I have a proven record for publicly fighting for these conservative values when every other candidate avoided it, and our country desperately needs a competent, values-driven candidate from the Millennial generation--like me--to spark that hope on our side that is lost with more "traditional" candidates. Usually, the viability of the candidate is judged based on cash-on-hand. This is wrong. Our reliance should not be on whether or not WE can determine if someone is "electable," our reliance should be focusing on God and His will. It's imperative that we remember this as we read James 2:
