15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.

1. I believe that we MUST repeal and replace Obamacare with free market alternatives. We need a system that allows people to take control of their healthcare and free up the medical system from excessive regulations and laws. A free market system would lower cost and improve patient care. 2. America has a staggering federal debt. I want to cut spending, but not just by trimming programs - I want to give power back to the states and trim our federal government. This will cut costs and improve efficiency. 3. I am a firm, life-long advocate for the unborn. It is a tragedy that our nation does not protect the life of the unborn, and I will be a vote and voice in Congress for the pro-life movement.

16. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

The only extenuating circumstance I believe justifies consideration of an abortion would be to save the life of the mother.
