On Principles & Values: We don't want 87,000 new IRS agents

Warner, the state's chief elections officer, was the subject of controversy in 2020 when he held a "Stop the Steal" sign at a Charleston rally for supporters of President Donald Trump. Warner supported a lawsuit challenging election results in four swing states and he has continued questioning how some states conducted their elections in 2020.

On Principles &Values: Pillars of my life: God, family, country, business

On Tax Reform: We don't want 87,000 new IRS agents

I abhor wokeism, I will not tolerate the disrespect of law enforcement, and I will fight against the absolute silliness of D.C."

On Principles & Values: Born-again Christian; I live by John 3:16

A: Born-again Christian. I live by John 3:16. I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
