Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

To prevent the death of the mother.

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

The founding fathers saw what the King of England was doing in regards to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The founding fathers used this knowledge to limit the powers of government, by dividing it into three separate, but equal branches. This was done in attempt to keep government becoming too big and corrupt to try to limit the freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights.

Conservative

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Promote a more business friendly environment, provide a viable workforce, and recruit businesses to our area. We must offer our communities as an option.

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

The free market system is the best answer to healthcare, as it is every other private business. Market forces will dictate based on supply and demand.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

Very little. For the most part, government should get out of the way and let businesses do what they do. There are way too many job killing regulations that are making the cost of business too expensive.

-I am a New Middletown Village Councilman -I hold a B.A. in Social and Criminal Justice, with two minors: Sociology and Political Science -I am experienced in working directly with the addiction, mental health, and behavioral health population -I am experienced in conducting government Fraud, Waste, and Abuse investigations -I am a member of the Health & Safety Committee -I am a member of the Compliance Committee -I will be a member of MAJORITY PARTY, on day one

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

The opioid epidemic needs to be a priority. Too many people are offering lip service and acting like they want to do something, and in reality are becoming a bigger part of the problem. Too many Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers do nothing but become the addicts new drug dealer, and make millions of dollars in the process. Switching from one drug to another is not the solution for addicts. We need to concentrate on breaking the cycle off addiction, not replace illegal drugs with legal prescription drugs, that are even more addictive than street what drugs. I will be your FULL TIME State Representative. I will work diligently to represent the 59th District, EVERY DAY. I will fight for GOOD PAYING jobs in our area. I will fight for lower taxes across the board. I will always support smaller and more efficient government. And, I will always be accessible. If you need to talk to me, I am the one you will talk to. I will work for you, the way it’s supposed to be...!!!
