Issue Position: Family

Issue Position

Family is the cornerstone of my life. My wife, Lisa, and I have been married for 30 years and we have two children: Samantha, 29, and Nelson, 23. I am exceptionally proud of my family. I believe Lisa and I have set the tone for our household by upholding standards that are based on integrity, faith and a firm set of values.

Notice the role that government plays in our family -- none. That's because I don't believe government should have a role in parenting. Most of my core beliefs are rooted in letting families make the best decisions for themselves. Whether it's choosing a school to attend or selecting a place of worship, personal decisions should be made by families, not the government.
