Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at stake.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Our founders were trying to avoid tyranny. They had just escaped tyrannical England, and were committed to preventing any one individual or branch from having too much power, this was the only hope for the Republic. They were determined to not allow the accumulation of powers from the branches of our government (legislative, judiciary and executive) to fall into the same "hands". These "hands could be an individual or an organization within our government (beware the deep state).
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born again Christian, and I quote Benjamin Franklin, "I believe in one God, Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His Providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable Service we render to him, is doing Good to his other Children. That the Soul of Man is immortal, and will be treated with Justice in another Life respecting its Conduct in this."
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Google what has happened in West Chester under my watch. No income tax, lower regulations, and the community has thrived!!!
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Make Ohio the most business friendly state in the nation. Make Ohio the state where businesses want to locate to by creating an environment in which businesses can thrive. The laws of supply and demand will dictate that not only will unemployment be lowered, but wages will rise.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Get the government out of it, and let the free market regulate it.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The only role government should play is to create an environment where businesses can prosper. Eliminate corporate taxes, and unnecessary and burdensome regulations. I have launched a "Business First" caucus in Columbus with the goal of making Ohio the most business friendly state in the nation. This is our mission statement: "We believe a State cannot thrive without a strong business presence. We exist to promote, advance and protect business interests and entrepreneurship by eliminating barriers for expansion and job creation. Our mission is to make Ohio the most prosperous state in the nation by making Ohio the most business friendly state in America, to inspire companies to do great things in our state and to financially dominate the other states."
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am not a politician, I am a business owner. I have launched about a dozen businesses. This experience has taught me to be very wary of government. All government actions are impacted by the laws of unintended consequences.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
My core beliefs are: 1) Government should focus on it's core competencies. 2) Elected officials should strive to reduce the cost, complexity and size of government. 3) The best regulator is free markets and free peoples!
