Scotty Boman in 2012 Michigan Senate Debates

On Civil Rights: Backs gay marriage

After two hours of stepping outside some Republican circles by backing gay marriage and taking a hard libertarian bent, GOP Senate hopeful Scotty Boman admitted his campaign is running on fumes. "I'm doing a Hail Mary as far as getting enough signatures to get in is concerned," Boman said Monday night while giving a closing argument at a candidates forum in Grandville and acknowledging he doesn't have the 15,000 necessary to qualify for the August primary.

On Budget & Economy: The government is the problem: cut out welfare and warfare

Candidates were asked to share their ideas to revive and restore the American economy. Boman said the primary problem with the country's economy is found within the government.

"The government is absolutely the problem. It's not that we don't have enough tax money, it's that we have too much spending. Cut out welfare and warfare and we could really save some money," he said.
