Issues

In a district dominated by the Democrat Party inside of a state dominated by the Republican Party, it is vital that I express the issues that are most important to this campaign. The last thing a secular, corrupt government wants is someone in office who has true, individual, Biblically-based convictions on all of the pressing issues of our day. I am not controlled by either party. Instead, I believe that God’s Word is not only our best guide, but our only guide to navigate the ethical issues facing District 21 and the state of Ohio.

Preventing government overreach

The Founding Fathers’ believed in a federalism, where the civil government was just one of four governments instituted by God (the others being Family government, Church government, and Self government), and it has very specific functions and limits. Within the civil government, there were branches created to keep a central power from having too much control and taking over. I believe in this Biblical and constitutional idea, and will do everything in my power to make sure the state government operates within its limits, something that it hasn’t done in a long time.

Equal protection for the unborn

As a Christian, I believe that human beings are made in the image of God. Abortion, the premeditated killing (with malice aforethought) of an innocent child, is murder.

Tragically, the number of babies murdered by abortion in Ohio has been increasing. Our recent constitutional amendment is in flagrant violation of God’s law and Amendment 14 of the United States Constitution.

Baby murder should not be regulated as “healthcare”–it must be abolished. Sadly, Republican lawmakers in Ohio have compromised on this issue, regulating the time and place baby murder can happen, but failing to fight for its abolition. I will propose legislation to criminalize abortion from conception without exceptions. Justice delayed is justice denied. Abortion must be abolished.

Abolish the Income Tax

The government has no right to take the hard-earned income of Ohioans. I will work to abolish the Ohio state income tax.

Protecting the rights of all People

I will have the privilege of serving an ethnically diverse district. I will defend the rights of all Ohio citizens, regardless of their race, occupation, or whether they are born or preborn.

Biblical economics and free market principles

The best way for businesses to thrive is to keep the government out of them. Government intervention is a great way to cripple our economy and history has shown us this time and time again. I will promote limited government intervention, lower taxes, and ethical monetary policy. The way the government spends its money matters to God and consequentially effects Ohioans. God will hold us responsible for how we stewarded what he has given us.

Defending the right to self-defense

Ohioans have a God-given right to self-defense. I am fully in support of Ohio Republicans’ recent legislation to legalize Constitutional Carry and armed teachers. I will continue to defend Ohioans' right to self defense by the bearing of arms.

Reduce Spending

It should be obvious, but most politicians don’t seem to understand that debt is bad. The way the government spends its money matters to God and affects Ohioans. God will hold us responsible for how we steward what he has given us. I will work to reduce our state spending and make sure we don’t spend money we don’t have.
