Jason Lewis on Principles & Values

 

 


Founders weren't trying to ban religion; it was the opposite

Q: Do you promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles?

A: Yes.

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

A: People often interpret the meaning of "separation of church and state" incorrectly. Our founders were not trying to ban religion. In fact it was the opposite. They believed we should be welcoming to every person of faith, not antagonistic to all people of faith. I believe the proper relationship between church and state ought to be simple: a particular religion should never become the policy of state and the state must never interfere with the free exercise of religion.

Q: Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values?

A: The most important value, the one that undergirds our society, is that our liberty comes from God and not another man. That is at the basis of everything I believe. I was raised Roman Catholic and have a strong belief in the Almighty.

Appoint Constitutional conservatives to the courts

Lewis released the following statement on the Supreme Court's ruling blocking President Donald Trump's rollback of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. "Liberal activist judges on the Supreme Court ruled that Trump may not reverse what Obama himself admitted he had no power to do. This is judicial activism, plain and simple, and something I look forward to tackling when I'm in the Senate by appointing Constitutional conservatives to the courts."
