Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Wherever the rights of the living outweigh the rights of the unborn.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Power Corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Government exists for the sole purpose of protecting the rights of individuals, and balancing those rights where they conflict with the rights of others.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Individuals have the right to closely held personal and spiritual beliefs up to the point where those beliefs affect the rights of others to their own beliefs.
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.
My voting record as a member of the De Pere City Council.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Allow the free market to function free from unnecessary government interference. Simplify requirements for small businesses and start ups that create burdensome barriers to entry.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Allow the free market the freedom to provide solutions. Simplify processes for FDA approvals. Encourage private and non-profit investment in health care systems. Encourage simple and understandable billing for patients to take ownership of the costs of their own health care.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Get government out of the business of business. Allow the free market to function as it should. End corporate welfare and crony capitalism that gives elected officials to choose winners and losers.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have traveled to 38 states and 13 different countries on 5 continents, and seen systems that work and those that do not, as well as the effects of those systems on the citizens of those areas. I am experienced in working in both the public and private sectors, both non-profit and for profit. I have served my country, I have served my community, and I am simply asking for the opportunity to serve the citizens of the 2nd District and the state of Wisconsin.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
Regardless of the outcome of this election, I will continue to fight to protect the rights of the individual citizens of this district, the State of Wisconsin, and the United States. In particular I will continue to work to reform our broken 2 party system that has created a duopoly of power split between the two major parties. No longer can we continue to vote for the lesser of 2 evils at the ballot box. Power needs to be redistributed to the people from whom it is derived by creating more choice, and breaking the stranglehold of 2 ideologically opposed groups and decentralizing power and decision making in our society.
