Strongly Agree
I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.
Strongly Agree
The U.S. military should wait for militant Islamic groups to directly threaten our national security on our shores, rather than eradicate them now wherever they may be worldwide.
Strongly Disagree
The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Clear and present danger to the life of the mother. In cases of incest or rape but only in early pregnancies
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
I think a couple of quotes can literally summarize this answer up. "Only when government is limited are rights protected, the rule of law honored, and freedom not allowed to flourish" Thomas Jefferson "Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm" James Madison in Federalist 10 "If men were angels no government would be necessary". James Madison in Federalist 51
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins so that we may have eternal life. If you follow his story in the bible it is the greatest love story of all time. I believe that we were founded upon one nation under God and we have turned into one nation over God. If we as a society cannot correct this it will not turn out well for us. We must stand by our Judeo Christian values and make sure that we keep America one nation under God.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I am a veteran. I have been in law enforcement as a public servant for 18 years (last 10 as a reserve police officer). I also went to Washington DC on September 12, 2009 as part of the 9/12 movement to stand against Obamacare and with "Hands off our healthcare". I attended Gardner-Webb University and graduated in 2003 when it was still one of the 5 Baptist colleges of North Carolina. I attended Liberty University and received a Masters of Art in Management and Leadership in November 2014 and also completed part of a Masters in Public Policy from that location. Outside of that I don't have much of a track record because I haven't been in politics before. Please take a look at my website Hardin4congress.com and check out my issues page.

Additional comment from candidate:
Hardin4Congress is based on freedom, liberty, and our Constitution. I have 3 guiding lights moving forward God, the United States Constitution, and the will of the people. I will stand every day on every vote and not just on show votes. I will be the voice of the people of my Congressional District.
