Issue Positions
For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2016.
- "Life begins at conception which requires a man and a woman. Marriage is the religious recognition of this biological fact. The adoption of 'marriage' by the state for civil convenience does not erase the religious significance of marriage or nullify the First Amendment of the US Constitution." (votesmart.org)

- "The Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act is a typical piece of Democratic legislation. It's real purpose is a distraction on the way to single payer universal health care, which as a 28 year veteran of military service and subject to single payer, I do not want this foisted on the people of Mississippi. Again like all Democratic legislation the title is a fraud. The Act has nothing to do with affordable care as could be predicted and as we have seen, and it certainly does nothing to protect patients access to health care or their medical records, again as could be predicted and as we have seen."

- "Traditional marriage is a religious tradition. The Federal Government has no compelling interest in the marital status of the people. The Feds have entered areas it has no business being in, and in fact violates the concept of equality of the individual by insisting on grouping people, such as by marital status. If the Feds stuck to the First Amendment, stayed out of religious traditions, there would not be a question of marriage equality today." (votesmart.org)
