Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only when there is extreme risk of death to the mother.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?

Continue the fight against extremism and maintain a strong relationship with our ally Israel.

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

Our founding fathers were able to construct the constitution as they did through divine intervention and that is why those rules written are still applicable today.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

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.

Previously ranked 3rd most conservative Senator. The American Conservative Union Foundation awarded Mike Kowall the Award for Conservative Achievement, for his conservative record in reducing the size of government, cutting taxes and regulations, and protecting the Second Amendment.

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

The current healthcare laws need to be taken apart, re-worked and fixed.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

Government should have a limited role that stays out of the way of private business so that businesses can expand, prosper, and employ citizens. Limited government will allow us to be more attractive to businesses moving to our country and will stop current companies from moving overseas.

What changes should be made to the tax code?

Simplify the tax code so that average Americans can understand it and follow it. We also need to keep the amount of taxes kept to bare minimum.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Loosen government restrictions that are currently in place, Loosening these restrictions would result in businesses expanding and hiring more people.

Getting back to basics and using social security for what it was originally intended for, not as a hand out for those that come here illegally and request it.

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

I have been a small business owner, the Senate Floor Majority Leader here in Michigan responsible for bringing back over 500 Thousand Jobs, and decreasing unemployment to the lowest rate in 18 years. I have been the Chair of Economic Development, the Chair of Criminal Justice, and previously served as White Lake Township Supervisor.
