Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
It shouldn't.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
I believe they were escaping a totalitarian-like English government and in order to establish a free country, they had the foresight to delineate the federal government's powers. They, and I, believe that certain rights are established by God and man should not have the right to infringe on those, especially without due process.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that God is the only supreme being and that he sent his Son as an example to all and to serve as a sacrifice for all of us sinners. God has also provided us with his Spirit to be a helper and guide. I value love, benevolence, kindness, faith, hope, and the fact that God calls us to live out these values to the very best of our abilities.
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?

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I am unaware of any information that is publicly available that validates my level of conservatism.

Hire more people and make unemployment "benefits" less beneficial.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I would work toward getting government out of the way.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Government should simply get out of the way.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have a total of approximately 16 years of public service as a law enforcement officer and a city manager.
