When the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Continue to fight threats across the globe.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
As a Christian I believe that Christ is God's son, who he sent to Earth to be crucified and sacrificed for our sins. My actions, my words, and my votes are based on fulfilling a duty to God.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My voting record in Congress and my life long commitment to conservative, small government solutions.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
By repealing the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with commonsense, market based reforms. As a former healthcare professional, we must focus on increasing access to care for those who choose or otherwise cannot afford individual health insurance coverage.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Government cannot manage the economy, but it can create an environment for economic growth.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Congress took great steps by passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which has simplified and made the tax code more fair. We must continue on this trend to ensure that American families keep more of their hard earned paychecks.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Through creating opportunities for upward mobility, whether that is job training and career and technical education, or a pro-growth tax code that will allow for more American jobs.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
By honoring the commitment the federal government has made to those individuals who have spent their lives paying into the program, and creating opportunities for those who choose to invest in their futures in a different way.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
As a husband, father, life long scout leader, volunteer fire fighter, EMT, healthcare professional, and active church member my life has been devoted to serving my friends and neighbors. As a member of Congress, I just gained more neighbors.
