Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Life of mother is in jeopardy.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Sinful nature.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am an evangelical Christian and have a belief in Christ as my savior. I believe that the Christian Bible is the Godly inspired and inerrant Word of God that reveals spiritual truth for believers.
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.
Member and attend independent bible church. Have supported many candidates for political office that have the same ideals. Have been a member of Bible Study Fellowship and Child Evangelical Fellowship. Republican Party PCO.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Get government out of competition with the private sector, reduce onerous regulation of business, pass tort reform so the legal profession are note motivated to file frivolous lawsuits, ensure we have a level playing field with foreign competitors, and limit environmental lawsuits that make specious claims for unknown species of wildlife.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Get the government out of the healthcare market. I have found no right in the constitution for one man to reach into my pocket for my earnings to support their excesses. I support public healthcare that seeks to educate and inform the public on how individuals can best take care of themselves.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Basically, they should stay out of "helping" business as they are too slow of foot and understanding to be able to help. Where government has a role is ensuring that there is a level playing field for business to flourish. For instance, if we pass rules and laws protecting agriculture workers from potentially harmful sprays or conditions then foreign competitors should have to also comply or limits set for those foreign goods. We have seen foreign workers immersed in farm chemicals that an American worker is protected from through protective gear, training, and record keeping. These protections cost the producers and they should not be penalized in the marketplace due to these additional costs.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
Well educated in technology and business, long record of public service in education, church, health, and water service, and a long list biographies, and U.S. and international histories that I have read.
