Strongly Agree

Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None. No other way to describe it.

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

Our rights are God given. The Constitution was designed to protect these God given rights. The intent was a weak Federal Government with most powers reserved to the States.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am often described as one who follows a strict interpretation of scripture. If the scripture says it, it is true. My parents came from Southern Baptist and Pentecostal families and led to my Biblical Beliefs.

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.

An economy functions best when government is out of the way. Regulations are economic killers. We are a Judaeo-Christian nation and our laws should reflect that. We must know who is coming into the country and properly vet them to ensure the safety of the public.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?

Get government out of the way so that the free market can prosper and jobs created. A welfare to work program is required. Like Benjamin Franklin said, poverty should be bad enough that people want to find a way out.

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

Get rid of the ban on sales across state lines and open up the restrictions on the types of coverage that can be offered. This would increase competition and allow people to purchase smaller affordable plans.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?

None. Get out of the way so the economy can flourish.

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

I have been at the upper management level of two companies, co-own Alamo Shooting Sports. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Integrative Studies from Texas Tech and am completing my Law Degree at St. Mary's University.
