Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

When it is medically detrimental to the mother; when the child's life/development will not be sustainable outside the womb.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I have a personal faith and I consider myself a deist. I have grown up experiencing a multitude of beliefs and have learned to respect the various religious followings with the primary philosophy, treat others how you would like to be treated. With this philosophy, I keep my religious views to myself and instead applying my philosophy in everyday life. This is why I feel it is so important to preserve the separation of church and state so that no religious belief is ever favored or rejected.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Moderate

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I believe in many socially liberal stances, such as marriage equality, legalizing marijuana, having social services to protect those in need, as well as applying fiscally conservative stances to ensure that free market can drive innovation, create jobs, and fund a sustainable government.

Additional comment from candidate:

This year you have the opportunity choose someone to represent you in Olympia. As a Libertarian, my goal is to represent Spokane, not the Democratic party, not the Republican party, YOU. I will work hard to improve job opportunities in Eastern Washington. I will sponsor, co-sponsor, and vote for legislation that ends corporate favoritism, and levels the playing field for all businesses. I will work to pass legislation that will establish a fair tax system and ensure that needed services, such as education are properly funded. I will drive the priority of the North Spokane Corridor, pressing to get the project completed in 10 years, rather than another 30. I can work together with legislators from both sides of the aisle to accomplish a greater level of partisan cooperation allowing us to move forward. I represent the party of the 21st century, I ask for your vote and an investment in our future. Thank you.
