2016 CO Senate race: on Principles & Values


Darryl Glenn: God is the highest authority in my life

Q: What in the nature of mankind caused America's Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Glenn: James Madison described the need for a separation of powers in Federalist Paper No. 51 when he stated, "men are not angels" and explained that the separation of powers was required to prevent an accumulation and consolidation of power by any one man or department. The endless attempts of the current administration to overreach and exert power beyond what is constitutionally proscribed has demonstrated just how right Madison was.

Q: Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Glenn: I am a Christ follower and God is the highest authority in my life.

Q: Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which political philosophy best describes you?

Glenn: Very Conservative

Ryan Frazier: Raised with conservative values, and a faith in God

I was raised by a single mom, who worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs to raise my brothers and I. Mom worked day after day trying to get ahead, and providing us a decent living. She raised us with conservative values, a faith in God, perseverance, and a mind-set of doing your part. I still carry those same values with me today and they've guided me as a father, businessman, and while serving in the U.S. Navy.

Tim Neville: There is a war on religious liberty & Christian schools

Across the country there is a war on religious liberty, as Christian-based schools, businesses and non-profit groups are being fined or shut down simply for abiding by their Faith and religious values. I believe every American--regardless of what religion--has the right to worship and practice their religious beliefs without fear of fines or imprisonment.

If elected to the US Senate, I will oppose all attempts to ban or further infringe upon the Religious Freedoms of the American people.

Darryl Glenn: Calls himself a Christian constitutional conservative

"I worry about the polarizing national debate over the core principles that govern our country," Glenn said. "Parents and grandparents are rightly concerned about mounting economic burdens facing their children and grandchildren. Hard-working individuals and families struggle with budgets that barely get them from one paycheck to the next. Many people are dismayed as they watch their hard-earned money get wasted on government excess."

Glenn, a Republican since high school, is a member of New Life Church in Colorado Springs. He calls himself a Christian constitutional conservative and will support policy that enables everyone to pursue their American dream by ensuring economic freedom, restoring the traditional balance of power among federal branches of government, mandating that government live within its means, strengthening our nation's security and providing for international defense.
