QUESTIONNAIRE
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
1. People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
2. Religious freedom is our most foundational freedom and deserves added protection in our state and federal constitutions.
Strongly Agree
3. Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
4. There are times when American judges should alter U.S. case law in order to comply with foreign case law.
Strongly Disagree
5. Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self interest into the fairest and most productive economic system there is, and are the key to national prosperity.
Strongly Agree
6. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be repealed by Congress.
Strongly Agree
7. Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.
Strongly Agree
8. The more people live by Judeo-Christian values, the less government is needed.
Strongly Agree
9. Government should enforce laws designed to protect the border and to prevent illegal entry into the country.
Strongly Agree
10. More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.
Strongly Disagree
11. Our state should participate in the nationwide Common Core standards for high-school graduation.
Strongly Disagree
12. The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings.
Strongly Disagree
13. Capital punishment should not be allowed for any reason.
Disagree
14. Our state should allow charter schools.
Strongly Agree
15. Our state should allow the growth and production of industrial hemp, which is very similar to marijuana.
Disagree
16. Our state should allow casino gambling.
Strongly Disagree
17. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The enumeration of, separation of, and limitation of governmental power by our Founders was to prevent the type of government overreach that they experienced in England. As we see increasing government overreach in the US(Common Core, Obamacare requirements, restricting gun rights, religious liberty silenced, etc.) into our private lives, I have to believe that it is a direct result of the crumbling of the checks and balances set in place by our Founders.
18. Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Under no circumstances should the life of a child be destroyed. I would also echo Sen. Paul in asking our Democratic opponents: "At what point would you say it should be illegal to end the life of a baby with a beating heart?"
19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a committed Christian and I believe that my belief in Jesus Christ requires living out that faith each and every day. For me and my wife Sheila, this means a dedication to fighting injustice through our advocacy for education reform and our service to our local crisis pregnancy centers. It means faithful attendance with fellow Christians at our home church Southeast Christian. It means supporting traditional marriage, religious liberty, and the lives of the unborn. As I have traveled across the Commonwealth, I have met thousands of like-minded Kentuckians who live out their faith in amazing ways and I hope to earn their vote on May 19th.
