Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I agree with over 1000 Obstetricians who signed the following Declaration saying that abortion is never medically necessary. DUBLIN DECLARATION ON MATERNAL HEALTHCARE “As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynaecology, we affirm that direct abortion – the purposeful destruction of the unborn child – is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman. We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion, and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatment results in the loss of life of her unborn child. We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.”
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.
I am a Christian. Specifically, I am a Presbyterian.
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?

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
By restricting taxpayer funded benefits from those who are unwilling to work. This will motivate them to find work since their free ride will be cut off. Furthermore, we can have lifetime caps for these benefits.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
By requiring the same price for the same services regardless of which insurance a patient has or if he has no insurance. And these prices should be readily available to customers so they can make educated choices.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Very limited. Mostly just protecting honest business practices and getting out of the way.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
BA Public Adminstration Sgt, US Army Veteran Gibson Town Board Supervisor Former Legislative Aide for Assemblyman Chad Weininger
