Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should only be allowed as an unintentional byproduct of a medical professional attempting to save the life of the mother.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
We must have secure borders and have complete control and knowledge of who is entering our nation.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Human nature is to consolidate as much power as possible into our own sphere of influence. The Founders were wise enough to construct a form of government that had intentional separations in place to avoid and prevent this consolidation.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a strong Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. I also believe that the government, at any level, has ZERO authority to interject itself in my relationship with God.
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.
Please check my website and social media for my stances on many issues. There you will find my opposition to policies that raise taxes, increase government authority or threaten individual liberties.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
The complete repeal of ObamaCare is needed. The health insurance industry should opened up to interstate markets that allow for the purchase of individual or voluntary collective group policies. This would create competition and foster the creation of better products at lower prices for the consumer.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
The government should reduce the regulatory burden and allow the market to shift and evolve naturally. This will allow for dying markets to be consumed by new technologies instead of entire market sectors being propped up by government subsidies.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
I would like to see the tax code be shifted to a flat tax or converted to a consumption based tax, similar to the Fair Tax.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
The best way to lower unemployment is for the federal government to reduce the regulatory burden on commercial sector, mainly small businesses. This will lower the cost of doing business, provide more capital to the business and allow for reinvestment of those funds; creating jobs.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Social Security can not be guaranteed so long as Congress continues to siphon funds from it and passes budgets with massive deficit spending. Government spending must be brought under control if any entitlement program is to be made solvent.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have based my life on a set of values: Always tell the truth, Help people when you can, show respect and work hard to be the best at what you do. Later, when I joined the military, these values were echoed in the Army Values: Integrity, Selfless Service, Duty and Honor. I have proven that I will tell the truth and stand on my values when it is unpopular, even if it will get me in trouble.I have shown, through my actions, that I am willing to personally sacrifice in the service to others. I believe that the model of Servant Leadership is severely missing in Washington today.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am committed to bringing Action and Accountability to Washington. I will operate, and hold my staff accountable, according to the highest standards of Integrity and Service to others. Constituent services will be a major area of focus for my administration.
