Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and I believe in the Ten Commandments and Jesus' teachings. I respect the religious freedom of all to worship their own deity, as long as they do so in a non-violent manner fully respecting the same right for everyone else, and as long as they put no other beliefs above our own laws and customs.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I have always run as a strong fiscal conservative.

Additional comment from candidate:

I strongly support lower taxes, a strict interpretation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and a government limited by both. I believe eminent domain is abused and government needs to get out of our bedrooms and our pocketbooks, and stick to its true and original purposes as outlined in the Constitution. I strongly support the right of states to govern themselves within their own borders. I am against the income tax and a government of dependency that robs its citizens of their self-respect. I am for strong borders, with a guest worker program open to all who pass a strict background check. However, non-citizens should not be allowed to vote, collect welfare, or run for office.
