Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to this earth to die for our sins. So often, people try to invent new solutions to the problems of today but if we could all get in the habit of turning to scripture, there is an answer for everything within God's Holy Word.
ABOUT YOU
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

I am proud to be a strong conservative Republican and proudly state that on my website and all my campaign material.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
As a Marine Corps veteran and business owner, I believe I possess a unique blend of training and real world experience to identify a problem and take actionable steps that work toward a solution. Furthermore, I am not afraid to stand up and fight for what I believe is right.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

As a United States Marine Corps veteran, I deployed to Afghanistan in defense of our God-given freedoms and hope to continue that tradition of service as the next State Representative from district 82.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Racism is always a threat to domestic tranquility but I am believe that the United States has done more for the personal liberty of her citizenry than any other Nation in the history of the world. Radical groups are hijacking instances of racial injustice to advance their leftist agenda.
