How many of you would vote for this candidate?
Name: Jared Thompson
Age: 42
Married Yes, 22 years
Children: Two, ages 6 and 12 (attend public school)
Occupation: Lawyer
Religion: Christian
Education: JD, Indiana University
Party Affiliation: Democrat
Community Activities: Member of school board (voted to cut school budget by 10% and cease the payment of salaries to board members in order to meet the Governor's standard for fiscal responsibility)
What he does for fun: "I like to ride motorcycles, shoot steel, and skydive."
Where Thompson stands on some issues:
Gun Rights: “I support the repeal of LTCH requirements in Indiana and I believe the right to own and carry a gun is everyone’s right. I will not vote in favor of any legislation that hinders the rights of gun owners.”
Health Care: “I believe the President had the right idea, but went about it the wrong way. Let’s scrap it and start over.”
Abortion: “Legally, I would never disallow a woman to abort her baby, as long as it is not paid for with state or federal funding in any shape, form or fashion. Personally, I teach my children and those around me to abstain from sex until married. However, if pregnancy does occur, it is their responsibility to accept the results of their actions, and not use abortion as a ticket to a solution.”
Taxes: “I believe in a flat tax that supports all federal, state, and local government and municipalities. Government must live within its means just like its’ citizens.”
Other: “I support term limits and the abolishment of retirement benefits for political servants. If I am allowed to serve two terms, I will not run for a third.”
"Can I have your support, whether you are a Democrat or not? If not, I can say that I'm not willing to alter my beliefs for your vote, but for what reason(s) could you not support me?"
