Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only to save the life of the mother.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The founders knew that due to the sinful nature of man, that too much power given to one person would result in corruption and tyranny.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
My Campaign Facebook and my personal twitter account as well as columns in the Warren Tribune Chronicle from 2012-2013.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Decreasing regulation and government intervention in businesses will promote growth and bring down unemployment.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I think that businesses need to get out of providing healthcare to employees and health insurance should be primarily for catastrophic care. For ordinary medical needs, individuals would be responsible for the costs, but they could have tax free health savings accounts. The health care system needs to utilize free market solutions to bring costs down.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Get out of the way.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have owned and operated a business for 24 years, served as a volunteer at my church and community, been a activist in my community, and served as a local public official.
