Expand all | Collapse all

As a CPA I’ve worked in the energy industry and as an auditor for state and federal government. More importantly, I’m a husband, a father of 6 young kids and I’m a neighbor. I love our country and our constitution. I’m confident that we can heal partisan divides as we build on common values given to us in our founding documents.
  • I will focus on strengthening and protecting families, the building block of our society.
  • I’m committed to shrinking the size of government until we balance our budget.

  • Keep God in the public sphere. I won’t shelf our nation’s religious values when voting in Congress.

Congress can work together to build on common ideals without compromising core values. It’s a difficult balance, but I’m an optimist, and I believe in miracles.
Moving sprinkler pipes, .15 per pipe. Helped an older brother during the summer when I was 11 or 12.
A general tendency to stray from family values (moral decay) and a government that has struggled to live within a budget. An aging population and a lack of affordable housing are emerging as major challenges as well.
I agree with term limits. 12 years is an appropriate term limit for congressmen.
The longer 6 year term reduces volatility and the focus on campaigning. A needful feature for the Senate.
It can be, it can also be detrimental. It largely depends on the individual.
Debate without vitriol is a healthy and needful component of our Democratic Republic. I support the filibuster.
Mike Lee has been fiscally and socially responsible. I like his policies and positions in general.
I view moral character and sound judgment as the most important qualities for any judge.
I want to know them all personally and to understand what makes them tick. I want to hear their opinions and learn to appreciate the strengths that each of them individually brings to the Senate. I will work hard to build consensus and to disagree without being disagreeable when differences of opinion can’t be reconciled without compromising core values.
It is. But not a compromise of core values.
Moral character, sound judgment and proven competency in professional or volunteer work that can easily translate to success in the cabinet.
