2024 ND Governor's race: on Principles & Values


Rick Becker: Stand against radical distortion of church-vs.-state

Q: RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

A: Separation of church and state simply means ensuring the government doesn't establish and mandate an official religion for citizens to adhere to. Unfortunately, this term has been hijacked by the radical Left to pursue an agenda that uses the government to attack Christianity. I stand against this radical distortion.

Q: Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

A: Strongly Disagree. Absolutely not. This is fundamentally against the First Amendment rights of Americans. I will oppose every piece of legislation that requires such mandates.

Q: Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.I believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I hold same the Judeo-Christian values that our country's founders held.
