Values
America was built upon Judeo-Christian values, and these values should be protected.
Where I stand
America was built upon Judeo-Christian values, and these values should be protected. During my years in Congress I have been a steadfast supporter of traditional marriage, the unborn, and the free exercise of religion. I am an active senior member of both the Values Action Team (VAT) and the Pro-Life Caucus.
Legislative Action in the 112th Congress
