Expand all | Collapse all

I am the author of "The Theory of Biblical Patterns". This theory proves that a higher intelligence wrote Genesis 1:1. My campaign is based on the voters realizing that there is indeed proof of a heaven and hell and they will vote Republican in droves. My district is currently only 17% Republican and I plan to win this district.
  • We must teach our school children morals to reduce crime.
  • Vouchers for all parents will significantly increase competition in our schools thus improving education drastically.
  • Equality for all while encouraging everyone to follow biblical principles is the key to a better society.
If elected, my primary emphasis will be to fight corporate corruption in North Carolina. This includes things like getting rid of illegal phone calls to people on no call lists and refunds that are impossible to obtain. Employees should be able to object to pirated software without fear of retaliation.

North Carolina currently provides scholarships to low-income families. I want to expand this to vouchers for all parents so there is no question that the best performing schools will have the most students.
I look up to my father most of all for his hard work and strong Christian values.
As far as politics go, I most admire President Trump for always knowing the best policies for this country.
The Holy Bible.
Morality by a landslide. Secondarily, horse sense.
I have extremely high moral character as a Christian.
I have proven myself over the years to be creative.
We should vote in such a manner as to increase the economy and encourage others to follow biblical principles.
I would like to be remembered as the author of "The Theory of Biblical Patterns".
I remember hearing about John F Kennedy's death on the six o'clock news in early grade school.
I detassled corn for two weeks as a freshman in high school. My first professional job was as a mechanical engineer for a technical company in Research Triangle Park. I remained with that firm for nine years.
Holy Bible. It teaches moral principles.
Conforming to a society that does not always follow biblical principles.
The state legislature is closest to the people and therefore the governor should always listen carefully to their wishes.
North Carolina's biggest challenge over the next decade is giving our school children the best possible education possible through vouchers to continue to strengthen our economy.
It really does take competing legislatures to get the best policies in place.
The only two things needed to be an excellent politician is high morals and horse sense.
It is definitely to everyone's benefit when everyone gets along personally even when they differ on policies. It is the only way to get the cooperation of the most possible people.
The legislature is closest to the people and should decide redistricting, not the courts.
education
I would consider Governor if I thought I could get elected.
The story I hear most often is people's concern for election integrity. We must have voter id and get rid of the machines to have free and fair elections.
If my mother does not stop voting Democrat, I not every visiting her gravesite again.
The legislature should have oversite if the Governor does not do the right thing to protect the people.
Yes, compromise is the only way to get things done, but one must never compromise on morality and what is best for the economy.
