Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should not be allowed in any case unless the mothers life is jeopardy.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The United States is a Democratic Republic and Separation and Limited Powers is essential. Power can corrupt and the separation of powers is necessary to ensure power is never consolidated to a few. Thus, the 3 branches of government (Legislative, Executive, & Judical) provide checks and balances to prevent tyranny. Limited powers is essential to preseserve individual freedom and State Rights from Federal Government over reach.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised and have been Catholic my entire life. I believe in self-responsibility and accountability, thus when one sins they should ask forgiveness, learn from their mistakes, and make the appropriate corrections in their behavior and lives.
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I have never been a candidate or help office before, so all of my political views are opinion to this point in my life. However, I have voted in all elections since my initial eligibility when turning 18 and have never voted for a Democrat in my life as I am a straight ticket Republican voter. I have fought against “Single Paycor/Universal” health care my entire professional life via my evolvement in the National, Ohio, and Columbus Associations of Health Underwriters.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
More jobs and economic development in general, with an emphasis on job training to match the unfilled current jobs and the jobs of tomorrow. Entrpenuerism needs to be glorified and promoted to encourage more Americans to start their own businesses and control their own futures.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
First and foremost, health care services have to be affordable and transparent because health care premiums are a direct result of cost of the health care services and drug pricing. There needs to be a price transparency model where health care consumers can actually shop and be engaged in the procurement of services with cost and quality being 2 essential variables. The American people will make good choices if the health care system would have the tools for them to be a consumer of health care, not simply and user of health care.es
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Stay out of the way and do not over regulate while providing basic services such as infrastructure, safety services, and an efficient and fair judicial branch.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have been a business owners the last 25 years advising business and personal clients in the areas of financial planning, retirement planning, employee benefits, and risk management.
