15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
1) Our 17.5 Billion Dollar national debt and wasteful government spending. We must cut spending and balance our budget to improve our economy and create jobs! 2) The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, needs to be repealed because it is harming our economy and stifling job creation as well as causing insurance companies to cancel policies. 3) Helping our veterans and military families.

16. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
Either we believe what the Bible says about the value of life or we determine our own values. Personally, I am Pro-Life and make no exceptions. I believe in personhood from conception to death. We all have God-given unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
