19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian. The agree with the Nicene Creed which states: (We [I] believe in God the Father almighty, maker of all things, visible and invisible and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of the same substance as the Father, through whom all things were made, in heaven and earth; who for us humans and our salvation came down, took flesh, and was made human, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended into haven, and will come to judge the living and the dead. And in the Holy Spirit.) My values are conservative. I support limited, honest, and transparent government. Government must protect our rights and liberties as defined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I will fight to keep our rights from being infringed. Our laws must be just, fair and well thought out. I will look at the cost/benefit of government spending and fight to reduce waste and fraud.
