OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Congress should repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
Strongly Agree
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
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.
Disagree
The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.
Agree
I support legislation such as the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) that would prohibit discrimination against individuals, organizations and small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

The federal government should establish Common Core as a nationwide academic standard for high school graduation.

I oppose the resettlement of Syrian refugees into the U.S. without proper vetting.

Current regulations on domestic oil exploration and drilling are more restrictive than are necessary.
Agree
It is the government’s responsibility to be sure everyone has health care and a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
More restrictive gun control laws are needed to protect public safety.
Strongly Disagree
The founders established pure democracy in the Constitution because they believed that it is the best form of government to ensure the safety and equitable treatment of all citizens.
Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property turn mankind's natural self-interest into the most productive economic system there is.
Strongly Agree
Governments should pay to develop wind and solar energy solutions until they are economically feasible.
Strongly Disagree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States.

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.

God, Constitution, Voters, Congress, Supreme Court
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
This is NOT a Federal Issue in my opinion. I have my personal belief that people should be responsible for themselves, however I would add that in cases of incest and rape that this should be fairly considered.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
To prevent Government over reach moving towards consolidated power into one person/position. Power corrupts most people. This is quite evident today in our Congress, Supreme Court, and Oval Office.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a spiritual Christian. My relationship with God is between Him and I. Church is where ever I am. I choose to be an example and not a pastor or preacher.
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.
National Security is the Federal Governments PRIME RESPONSIBILITY. Support for the Government should be through tariffs/taxes on imported goods into America. The Government should NOT be allowing free trade which offers manufacturers the greatest reason to move jobs out of the country, larger profits and no import taxes on those goods. The Government is NOT supposed to be a wet nurse for all those who chose to not be self reliant. Social Security is not Socialism, it is a fund made up of employees and employers contributions, that Congress has borrowed extensively from and has not returned a dime, and which should never be given to those who have not contributed.

Additional comment from candidate:
I have grown tired of politicians who do not represent our values and needs here in Oregon. I want all the voters to KNOW ME. Who I am, what I am, and how I differ from my opponent. I’m a leader, not a politician. I work hard and have all my life. I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get the real work done. I’m a Navy veteran and served my country with pride. I have a BS degree in Workforce Education & Development. I spent a lifetime gaining experience from shoveling out pig sties, to project management. My work experience includes 10 years as a Crytologic Technician Communications expert to Outside Sales Engineer. From bucking hay bales to Materials Coordinator. I have WORKED my entire life. No free ride, no silver spoon, no expectations that the world owes me a living. I plan to bring Oregon land back to Oregonians. I am offering my integrity, honor, vision and a Constitution driven patriotism to make this happen.
