Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I believe that all life is precious in the eyes of God and that life begins at conception.

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

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Job creation through the private sector focusing on small business job creation. We need to allow the free enterprise system to work without inhibition from government.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

I support open private sector markets for healthcare. We should utilize the free enterprise system with minimal government involvement.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

The government should get out of the way. Free enterprise and competitive markets serve us all best. I believe in low taxes, minimal government regulation, and more economic freedom for all people. John Maynard Keynes continues to haunt us all from the grave.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

Besides being a husband of 25 years and a Dad to five girls, my 13 years of experience in the legislature is the best training and indication for my successful future service.
