Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who believes Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior and died for me and all individuals on the cross for our redemption. He is the way, the truth and the life.I believe in one God in three person, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I also believe He created us equal but not the same and that we have a proclivity toward sin, which comes from original sin. I believe we are created in the image and likeness of God and are temples of the Holy Spirit. I believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God and this is how we come to know Jesus, through the Gospels. I believe we will be individually judged and believe in the resurrection of the human body. My family also believes strongly in religious freedom which is why our family business is one of 36 companies suing Obamacare and the HHS mandate.
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 wrote the Ohio Pastor Protection Act. The Ohio Faith Based Protection Act. I have co sponsored Right to work legistlation. I also was one of only 5 Republicans to vote against my own party's budget which spent 3 times the rate of inflation in Ohio and had Obamacare Medicaid Expansion. Our family business also sued Obamacare's HHS mandate in federal court and won over the contraceptive mandate.
