Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I oppose all special protection or prosecution for certain classes of people or types of employment in that all persons, made in the image of God, deserve equal protection with equal prosecution for crimes committed against the innocent victims of crime. Learn more

We must return to a system of appropriate punishments for specific crimes rather than the broad-sweeping jail system that only serves to further perpetuate a culture of crime. Our civil punishments must be fair, but severe, and our paths to restoration in the community with former criminals must be founded upon trust. Learn more

Defense / Veterans

I will oppose all attempts by any government agency to nullify or reduce earned benefits to veterans and their survivors, including but not limited to, compensation, pensions, education, and health care. Learn more

Education

I affirm the free market principles that drive improvement of education through non-traditional options such as internet-based schools, charter schools, Christian and private schools, as well as home schooling options. Learn more

I support the unimpeded right of parents to provide for the education of their children in the manner they deem best, including home, private, or religious. Learn more

Healthcare

I oppose the governmentalization and bureaucratization of American medicine. Government regulation and subsidy constitutes a threat to both the quality and availability of patient-oriented health care and treatment. Hospitals, doctors and other health care providers should be accountable to patients - not to politicians, insurance bureaucrats, or government administrators. Learn more
