Due to my religious convictions I am not okay with abortions in any circumstances.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian. I believe in the One True God. Jesus says in Matthew 22 when asked which is the greatest commandment “‘37 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
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.
I publicly proclaim my conservative values on my website, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for all to see. https://www.maddux4uscongress.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Maddux4Congress/ https://twitter.com/Maddux4Congress https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWLbTU80Q5vzx712--S_exg
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Free market competition for the most part. Look for ways to lower the cost, just like doctor concierges. In cases where people are deemed not insurable they should have an insurance plan available that allows them to pay a reasonable premium. Have oversight over out of control health cost just like the consumer protection agency to ensure affordability.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Ensure free market, fair taxes, less regulations, fair trade. What Donald Trump is doing, is working.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Simplify and reduce the number of tax brackets. Evaluate the deductions to make sure they are fair.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Free market. Job training/vocational schools for Trade Jobe. In the coming years much of the unemployment will come from not having the trained skilled labor people available. One of the biggest problems for employers is finding skilled workers.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Quit robbing from Social Security to pay other debts. When we have robust employment and economy, we are able to sustain Social Security. Look at an option for privatizing. We all know there is lots of waste in federal Government.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Navy Veteran, Former award winning Chattanooga Police Officer, successful Business Manager. Bachelor of Science in Business Management. Man of Faith living under Biblical Tenants, treat people fairly, with integrity and with compassion.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I would like for voters to know what prompted me to run for congress. I sat in my living room the day after the inauguration last year with tears in my eyes thinking about all the lives lost to abortion and how these protesters on TV did not seem to care. I prayed to God that day and it just seemed like God was prompting me to get off the sidelines and do something. I was surprised to find that Congressman Desjarlais refuses to say that life begins at conception and he did not ask a single question to the leader of Planned Parenthood when he had the opportunity. He was named the quietest congressman in congress by USA Today December 2016. In almost 8 years, my opponent has never passed a single piece of legislation on his own. I know when life begins. I will speak up and legislate for our life, values and freedom.
