Fund minority-owned businesses with charity, not government

A: Business owners should be free to hire who they want and set policies for the company. Consumers should be free to be able to not shop at an establishment whose values conflict with their own. If the money that went into the politics of this instead was donated to charities to empower minority owned businesses it would be a non-issue. I want change the government solution culture so the money in politics goes to institutions that can make real change

Let consenting adults marry, regardless of gender

A: Consenting adults should be able to enter contracts˙of their choosing. In an ideal world love and marriage would not require government permission or licenses, but as long as it does it should be equally available to all adults looking to form a household regardless of gender.

Opposes defining marriage as one-man-one-woman.

The American Family Association Action Voter Guide asked if candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with public funds.' American Family Association Action (AFA Action) produces the online "iVoterGuide" for selected state and federal races. The mission of AFA Action is to inform and mobilize individuals to strengthen the biblical foundations of America.
