Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord. I believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead and on the third day, He rose again. I believe he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. I believe He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, which created the church, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection, and life everlasting.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
While I have not held public office, as an attorney I serve the general public on a daily basis. I both advocate strongly and competently for the position(s) of my clients while conducting a conservative, ethical risk assessment of potential outcomes. In doing so, I am able to reach the best solutions, whether they are motivated by economics, safety or health concerns, or heart-felt social or religious beliefs.

Additional comment from candidate:
As an attorney seeking a legislative position, I am the most qualified candidate. Moreover, as a person who worked in the same or similar industries as the voters, e.g., service, manufacturing, construction, professional services, I genuinely believe that I am truly representative of my constituents.
