Oppose same-sex marriage, but respect Supreme Court ruling
Q: Do you support same-sex marriage?A: No. My personal convictions inform my belief that religious marriage is between a man and woman. However, I do respect the Supreme Court and its decision on this matter.
I will keep my oath to uphold the constitution and, above all, I will treat all my constituents and all the American people with respect.
