Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When the mothers life is in immediate danger.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The Constitution was carefully drafted to clearly define the boundaries of the federal government. They realized human nature causes those in power to seek more power and control in a never ending cycle as evidenced by the monarchy's in place throughout much of Europe at the time. The Constitution is meant to LIMIT the powers of the federal government.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I accepted Christ at the age of 6 at the First Free Will Baptist Church. To this day, I still have a strong relationship with this church even though my family and I now attend Walnut Ridge Baptist Church.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
The Journal of the Texas House shows every vote I have cast in the 3 legislative sessions where I served.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
The best way to continue to keep unemployment low is to have a regulatory system that allows businesses to create jobs. The government does not create jobs, but should keep regulations to a minimum to allow industry to thrive.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
It is not the proper role of government to be the nations healthcare provider. Removing government red tape and regulations would allow the marketplace to come to equilibrium.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government should foster a regulatory system that allows for businesses to invest in property, plants, equipment, and people. Keeping taxes low and regulatory intervention low allows companies to grow and to hire new employees.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
The experience of three legislative terms has made be a better legislator. It has taught me to really listen to constituents who have issues with state government. The ability to listen and the willingness to be accessible to the constituents of HD105 is what makes me the right person for this position.
