Dave Lindstrom on Principles & Values

 

 


A vocal advocate for capitalism; socialism is a cancer

Dave will fight to defeat socialism and prevent it from taking root in the United States.

Dave is a vocal advocate for capitalism and the opportunities it creates for American families. Dave is living proof that the American Dream is possible no matter where you have your start in life. But the key ingredients are hard work, opportunity and freedom to pursue those opportunities as they come before you. Socialism, by contrast, is a cancer on economies and destroyer of freedom.

America must repent & pray for an awakening and revival

Wherever socialism has come to power, that power has sought to supplant God and raise the idol of government for worship and dependence. The pattern is holding once again as leaders in the Democrat party openly advocate using the tax code to penalize churches, using the force of government to silence the word of God from the pulpit and to criminalize the bedrock beliefs upon which this country was founded. It is time for America to repent, to pray for an awakening and revival through our land.

Concerned about growing embrace of socialism

Lindstrom said he's concerned about what he sees as a growing embrace of socialism and "I think our country's under attack."

"People are making promises with other people's money and resources that they cannot keep, that they understand are not sustainable--that will create an environment in this country, of one of entitlement, as opposed to hard work," he said. "That's what I mean when I talk about socialism."

Played on KC Chiefs; served on Turnpike Authority's board

The former NFL player and businessman made an unsuccessful run for statewide office in 2002 as a running mate for Republican Tim Shallenburger, who lost the race for governor to Democrat Kathleen Sebelius.

Starting in 1978, Lindstrom played eight seasons for the Chiefs as a defensive end before retiring from the NFL to launch a career in business. Lindstrom, a native of Massachusetts and graduate of Boston University, opted to remain in Kansas after leaving football.

"The quality of life and cost of living is in my mind unmatched in this country and possibly the world," Lindstrom said.

He owned four Burger King franchises in the Kansas City area until 2011 and served on the Johnson County Commission for a decade. Former Gov. Sam Brownback first appointed him to the Turnpike Authority's board in 2013 and he became chairman three years later.

Strongly protect religious liberty, according to AFA survey.

Lindstrom supports the AFA survey question on religious liberty

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
