On Health Care: Protect rights of cancer patients from losing coverage

A: One is a war against cancer. Because of my work at the American Cancer Society and because in 2013 my wife was diagnosed under the federal low-income cancer detection and treatment program I have become passionate about protecting the rights of breast cancer patients from losing their coverage to politics and corruption and have brought the case to the Minnesota and U.S. Supreme courts. I have also identified resources for cancer patients.

On Principles & Values: Ran for president in 2015 but follows Donald Trump

A: Donald J Trump, 45th President of the United States. I spotted him as a political leader when I was running for President in 2015. I immediately recognized that he had a heart for the people of Arizona and the people of the United States, he had leadership and management skills to put together actions needed to lead the nation (though they did not always parallel my own) and that he, like the Founding Fathers, would commit his name, resources and life to perpetuating the Republic of the United States and our exceptional place in the world. This was what I was trying to do and still am. I also share his values, of liberality if not political liberalism, conservatism and love of country, family and God; courage, resourcefulness, integrity and willingness to work with all Americans for the good of the nation and the planet.

On Principles & Values: The Bible is an amazing source of all history

A: The Bible. It is an amazing source of all history and society, explaining the origins of everything an the existence of God. Like this nation it is not a fiction of the English language, but ancient and yet timely. Today I could listen to the Gospels of Matthew and John in Swedish. It is the foundation of the world.
