Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
1. Stop immigration from countries with radical Islamic groups 2. Implement merits-based immigration 3. outlaw Sharia Law in American courts 4. negotiate new trade deals with Islamic countries 5. Congress declares war on radical Islam and pursues aggressive counter-terror actions (hunt them where they sleep) 6. Remove any/all politically motivated ROE placed on military forces engaged against terrorist groups
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Original Sin was the desire to be like God. Pride. In that pursuit, the history of Man (and Government) has been consolidation & tyranny. The Founders knew that. They tried the Articles of Confederation and failed bc they didn't give the executive branch enough authority - they feared consolidation. Wrote the Constitution after much deliberation and studied hesitation. Oldest Constitution in history. Changed only 27 times. Tried over 10,000 times. Smart guys.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Jesus is the Son of God, came to earth, lived a perfect life, and was crucified on a cross as a blood sacrifice for the remission of all sin. We must have faith, repent, and be baptized. My values & world view stem from that Truth. I believe in objective truth. I believe in the divine inspiration of Scripture. I believe in the Trinity of the Godhead. I believe in the exclusive truth claim that faith in Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I answered "very conservative." I mean what I say. That should suffice. (Matt 5:37) Direct all others to my website: www.jarrinjackson.com. Asking me to provide publicly available information to validate a personal assessment is inconclusive and self-defeating. I could create a simple website saying, "Jarrin is the most conservative candidate ever" and that would suffice. In the post-truth era, these questions are the ones that need to be blasted. Labels economize thinking. Labels are hijacked by fakes. Labels have no power. Ideas have power.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
1. Repeal all of Obamacare. Subsidies. Regulations. Everything. 2. Switch to price system. If people knew what they were getting for what they were paying, costs would plummet over night. 3. End Insurance Lobby's control over that industry. Regulate Congressman's schedules. Keep record of meetings and conversations. I swore the SAME oath to the Constitution as every Congressman and my emails and phone calls were monitored when I was in Afghanistan. If Congressmen are "serving" Americans, why should we accept a lesser standard of service from politicians than we demand from our military? 4. High-risk pools block granted to and managed by States. My niece was born with infantile brain spasms and has had multiple invasive brain surgeries. She's a statistical anomaly. 5. Allow individual tradesmen to purchase as a pool. All lawyers could bargain for lawyer rates. Plumbers for plumbers' rates. And so on.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
1. Uniform currency. We all need to believe the Dollar is what everyone else believes it's worth. 2. Business-friendly banking. Constitution specifies "bankruptcy" bc Founders wanted to encourage entrepreneurship. 3. Consumption taxes. Should be low and only pay for NECESSARY and constitutional government. 4. Trade policy. Free trade with as many countries as possible. Hedge against military actions, open market access, increase competition. Use free markets as first line in national security. 5. Low & manageable national debt.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
1. Repeal 16th Amendment. 2. Pass FairTax. 3. Sit back and watch America take off...
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
1. See #31 & #32 2. Restore dignity of work 3. Don't subsidize unemployment (safety net not hammock).
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
I'm 32. I don't need, want, or will receive Social Security. Let's start by telling people SS is bankrupt. To that end: 1. Keep promise with current recipients. 2. Stop taking $$ from the SS Trust Fund. 3. Forensic audit. Once we know the ins and outs of SS, we'll chart the path forward...
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Graduated from West Point (2008) & Ranger School. Combat taught me leadership, negotiation, and perseverance. I own two franchise restaurants. I employ a dozen people (most of whom don't have bank accounts). I work alongside them everyday. I balance my budget, serve my customers, and am in the constant process of building a culture that's based on strong Judeo-Christian values (trust, honesty, candor, service).

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am nothing without God. I gave this campaign to Him long ago. I saw God's protection in Afghanistan. I see God's blessing in my family. And I finally saw (firsthand) the power of God's restoration in February (2018) when my father was on his deathbed and came back - despite doctors telling my mom to "make preparations." America is in a post-truth, post-Christian era. it's no longer good enough to settle for labels ("conservative" "Christian" etc). We must elect fighters who can wield the sword of truth against our enemies. We have a great country. We need to innovate the way we defend our way of life, because the dark forces that hate America have stripped the power from the words we've been using.
