What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The human nature of mankind is sometimes in conflict with men and/or with the natural laws of nature/God. Our government system addresses these conflicts among men so that fairness and freedom from man to man will prevail within the confines of the constitution. Thus, the constitution would be the authority, and the government ran by men held in check by defining and separating the governing bodies, so one branch of government does not govern alone.

Additional comment from candidate:
I believe our democracy works best when people have a choice of who will represent them in local, state, and national issues. I 've heard time and again how disappointed citizens feel in the way our district has been represented at the Indiana Statehouse. I support Hoosier values and our communities to put an end to divisive politics that put Indiana behind in business, education and quality of life for it's citizens. Only when all are working forward with conscious effort to work together will the State of Indiana attain a prosperous future for all.
