Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None. Life begins at conception. The innocent, defenseless, unborn child should be protected, even when conception occurs under rare instances of evil and criminal circumstances.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The experiences with the British Monarchy caused America's Founders to realize government's role needs to be limited in scope and accountable to the people. We did not throw off the rule of one king 3000 miles away over 200 years ago in order to be ruled by 3000 bureaucrats one mile away today.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
The best way to reduce unemployment is economic growth - through reduced taxes and reduced government interference in our economy.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
We need to allow the free market to determine costs and coverages while reducing government interference in healthcare. The theory sold to the American people that Obamacare was going to reduce insurance premiums and improve coverage has been debunked. Instead, our tax dollars have gone to individual insurance subsidies and insurance company bailouts. The result...we are paying higher insurance premiums and higher taxes while receiving worse coverage. Government interference in our economy is not the answer to the challenges we face.

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
We need to allow the Free Market more influence on the economic decisions of Texans. Thus, reducing government's role in the economy, especially in the realm of taxation so businesses can have more money to invest and innovate.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am a strong supporter of public education, as my wife taught in public school before our daughters were born. If we truly want the "pursuit of happiness" in America then we must provide education. In addition, I oppose sending public funds to private schools through vouchers.
