Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a conservative Christian. I believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God. I believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human. That He was crucified, died, was buried in a tomb, and was resurrected by God on the 3rd day. I believe that He ascended to heaven and that He is coming back to take His Church home and that He will be the Judge at the final judgment of all people.


ABOUT YOU

I am economically conservative. I believe that everyone including the government should only spend money they have, pay off all their debt, and be financially responsible. I am a social conservative. I believe that we should live by Biblical values. I believe we should stop giving money to other nations without payback. If they need help, let’s loan them money with security. I believe that everyone should have a path to citizenship using legal pathways. Build a wall and deport all who came here illegally.

I am a mature leader with a successful history in the Healthcare industry. I do not have a political education. I understand how to use the right resources when I don’t have the answers. I understand the value of listening.
