Strongly Agree

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Disagree

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?

As is currently provided for under the law.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Reason

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."

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.

I have never held elective office, so I have no track record to refer to.

Additional comment from candidate:

Obamacare should be replaced, not repealed. There are so many people now dependent on Obamacare policies that we need to provide some kind of transition. Although I do not favor providing federal funds to abortion service providers, I think the number of adoptions would be increased if it was required that every abortion provider that accepts federal monies should be required to provide in-clinic access to an adoption counselor.
