Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I survived my Grandfather whom I loved very much demanding my unwed mother abort me as a baby. My mom refused to abort me and I'm grateful that she chose life for me. Another man raised me. I support fixing our adoption system to bring families together. I grew up to care for and serve others. It is not up to me to judge someone for having to make that horrible choice.I can't imagine that. I support family planning before a child is conceived. If a mother or child's life is in danger, it should be that family's decision to make choices the best they can.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
They were fleeing tyranny and government overreach. They did not want to be ruled and fought for their freedom. They chose to allow the states to enact a contract of the people, by the people and for the people to prevent government overreach in America.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe Jesus Christ is my lord and savior. I came to that belief of my own free will and it brings me peace. I made my choice and I allow others to do the same with their free will.
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?

Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
N/A
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Encourage ideas that allow the free market to flourish and create job opportunities.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
1. Require medical affiliations to post their prices for goods and services up front. 2. Keep the government out of medical care and let the free market work. 3. Honor the contract our government made with our veterans. 4.Take care of the elderly, infirm and mentally ill within our means. Families and charities used to do much more to take care of each other than they do now.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Cut taxes and regulations and let the free market work.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I'm a veteran with a background in transportation. I have owned and operated small businesses and served people in every job I've ever worked. I lived in poverty and worked my way out to become a servant leader. I have spearheaded successful law reform at the state level as a private individual. It was never about politics, money or power. I saw a need to protect and serve our children, your children, and I accomplished that goal. People and businesses are being taxed into poverty in WA State. Our state does not have a tax deficit problem, it has a spending and accountability problem. Families that keep their tax dollars are able to spend and donate that money to benefit their local communities. There is no government overreach in voters pockets. My sister was murdered, so I have worked hard to learn matters of restorative justice, mental health, homelessness and drug addiction solutions. I will work to keep your neighborhood and schools safe.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I want to continue working at the state level for you and your family. I will work for and represent everybody in our 6th District with respect and dignity. I will fight for your voice to be heard in Olympia with the same tenacity as I did for the most vulnerable among us. I'm asking for the job and I'm asking for you to be a partner in working the solutions together.
