n/a
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
They did not want to ever fall up under a king or dictator therefore the government was structure in such a way to provide diverse leaders but limit and separate powers.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a licensed minister who believes in every word of the Bible. But I do know man can't live up to it totally but should make every effort to. I do know that God is merciful and therefore in our sins he loves up and through his grace we are saved. Just as God shows us grace we are required to show each other grace whether we believe in their beliefs or life styles.

Additional comment from candidate:
I am a true resident of District 2 ready to work for you. Mission Statement: I know as an elected official, I’m here to serve and represent you. As a resident who has been dissatisfied with our District 2 councilperson over the years, I’m stepping out on faith, to step up and try to make a difference. Therefore, I want… • To connect with the residents, business owners, as well as the community & church leaders of District 2 and see what their needs & desires are. • To focus on positive changes for the residents of District 2 both young & old. • To be a voice, advocate, and fighter on behalf of District 2 • Promote community outreach that brings about change starting at the root of a young person’s life – their home. • To bring about economic growth & businesses to the community that the residents need and want. • Reduce Gun violence which isn’t an issue that SAPD can fix but must be addressed at the root – the home.
