Marijuana should be legalized and regulated like tobacco and alcohol.

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.

Strongly Agree

Free-market competition for education dollars, rather than a government monopoly, would create a better education for all students.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree

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

Our Founders were justifiably concerned with the possibility that one branch of government could become more powerful than the rest, so they created limits to the power of each branch. Unfortunately, their fears have been realized in many ways as our Federal government has become overbearing and out of control.

Based on the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, please arrange the following entities, starting with the highest source of authority, and continue the list in descending order of authority, skipping any that do not apply: Academia, Congress, Constitution, God, Industry, Media, Professional Sports, Supreme Court, Voters.

Our ultimate authority is God, who is the provider of our rights. The people themselves give our government the authority to govern, by their consent. As an elected official, I am accountable to the voters who have elected me to represent them.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Abortion is a tragedy and should be prevented under any circumstances. I have fought to protect the life of the unborn during my time in office and will continue to do so in the Senate.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a Christian, I believe we all need God’s grace in order to be redeemed for our sinful nature. I believe as a follower of Christ I should strive to display the grace and mercy God grants me so that others may see His role in my life.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I believe that our rights are given to each of us by God. Unfortunately, the more we allow government to grow, the more it will restrict our rights and personal liberties. As state senator, I will continue to lead with conservative principles to reduce the size and scope of government in our lives and businesses.
