Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I accept Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior without reservation or hesitation. My faith is a core part of my beliefs and values that drive my daily activities. The other parts of my core come from my cultural upbringing. Personal honor, perseverance, and persistence. The combination all of these values drives a thought process and action of doing the right thing, not the convenient thing. It drives the concept of servant leadership which is the bedrock of my leadership style.

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 have fought for the rights of Seniors to have centers in the neighborhoods in which they live. I have fought for parents to have educational choice for their children without Governmental control. I fight for the empowerment of the citizen to pursuit life liberty and happiness as it is Constitutionally guaranteed. All is a matter of public record.
