Strongly Agree

12. Free market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.

Strongly Disagree

15. Religious freedom is our most foundational freedom and deserves added protection in our state and federal constitutions.

Strongly Agree

No Answer

Strongly Disagree

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

There should always be a limit to the government's power and reach. No one branch, or the government in general, should be able to overstep their boundaries and infringe on citizens' rights.

19. Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.

God, Constitution=Voters, industry, academia, supreme court, congress, media, professional sports

20. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

While I am a staunch believer in the Right-to-Life, and am endorsed by Michigan's branch, I do have 3 daughters. So the issue of rape is a touchy subject for me. However, many studies have shown that even if a girl is raped, it causes more emotional distress if they also have an abortion.

21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a firm believer in the Christian faith and am very involved in the church. My belief in religious freedom is also one of the most important issues I stand on.
