None

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Our founding fathers recognized man's concupiscence from original sin, that is the fall of mankind and human pride.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

We are created in the image of God who is Truth and Love. We are created to have a yearning to return to God, and we are to use His grace to be obedient to Him so that we may return to Him.

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?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

NA

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Create policies that offer a hand up to all people that are able to work, and to find the increasing resources offered by employers, state agencies, and local communities. This will help them find dignity in work and self sufficiency.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

I will continue to work with healthcare providers and systems to find concrete ways to reduce duplicative and excessive healthcare. By improving healthcare policies and procedures, we can reduce healthcare costs and thus reduce monthly premiums for individual and family plans. Nationally, we see that patients are often receiving more healthcare than is truly needed. This drives costs up and adversely affects monthly healthcare premiums.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

Protect the free market. Lessen restrictions. Decrease needless regulations. Reduce tax burdens for businesses to allow them to invest in their employees, and grow their products and services.

What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?

Seventeen years working in healthcare, primarily with the Medicaid and Medicare patient population. Also, working with providers to find more cost effective ways to help create better patient outcomes at the ground level. Former Muskego City Alderman, Waukesha County Supervisor, and long time community leader and volunteer
