Garn Mabey

I grew up in Rexburg, Idaho and when I was old enough, I worked on a local potato, wheat, and barley farm. There I developed a love of work.

In church and school, I was taught about the founding of our country and it’s my belief that those men and women were inspired by God and that our Constitution is a divinely inspired document.

At nineteen, I served a two -year mission for my church in Spain. Upon returning I met my wife, Sheri, and we have been married for 43 years. We now have five children and twelve grandchildren.

I graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, PA.

We moved to Las Vegas 39 years ago where I completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology and started a medical practice. I have delivered over 4000 babies. I also have been highly involved with medical research and have participated in many clinical trials and have co-authored articles in medical journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine.

I believe in service and was elected to three terms in the Nevada State Assembly. During my third term I was chosen to be the Republican minority leader.

Two of my accomplishments during my legislative career were one, a bill that I sponsored that helped to create the Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada which provides free medical care to the poor and two, a bill that enabled professionals a pathway to become licensed to teach in secondary education.

• I feel that our economy has benefited the rich far more than the poor. This is wrong. We now have high inflation which has been caused by reckless spending. My generation has left the next generation in worse financial shape. Our federal debt is over $34 trillion dollars and it increases by $1 trillion every 100 days. Many can't afford a home and the basic necessities. Even in good times we spend more money than we bring in.
• For our country to be successful, we all have to obey the laws. There are too many who disregard our laws and when they are broken we are too lenient. This also applies to our broken immigration policies. Non-citizens should not be allowed to simply cross our borders without consequences.
• During my lifetime, I have witnessed numerous wars and conflicts between countries. Most have been utter failures and we have lost many good men and women. We have also spent our country's treasures. Almost all people from all countries do not want to be at war. Our leaders are those who involve us needlessly. If elected, I will be a strong proponent of peace.

As a physician, I see the shortfalls of our medical system. It is confusing and expensive. The health care insurance companies have become too powerful and control too much of our lives. Many physicians and other health care providers are now employees of large companies due to burdensome laws and regulations. I hope to change this and make our health care system better if elected.

I look up to Abraham Lincoln. He was a man who I feel was inspired of God to do what he did. He was on a mission and nothing would stop him. I wish I could be like him.

The Holy Scriptures.

Honesty, humility, and transparency.

The love of people and the desire to serve and work hard.

To serve the members who elected them and to pass laws which will benefit society.

That I was a righteous man who lived a moral life and served others for the good of all.

I remember when President Kennedy was assassinated. I was only four. I also remember the Vietnam war when I was young and the first landing on the moon. That was when I was 11.

When I was just fourteen, I got my first job on a potato, wheat and barley farm. I got up at 5 o'clock every morning and moved irrigation pipe and drove trucks and tractors. It was hard but I enjoyed it. My experiences working on a farm helped me develop principles of hard work.

The Old and New Testament. It teaches us that we have a loving God who loves us and has given us a pathway of living which blesses all of us so that we can return to Him. The stories teach me about how God is.

I guess Superman so I could save the world.

"Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. Whenever the sun comes out from behind the clouds, I start singing it. It gives me positive vibes.

I worry too much.

The break down in the nuclear family. Government can never replace what can be taught in the family. Our federal budget, income inequality, high inflation, and endless wars are problems..

I have mixed views. I can see both sides. I lean towards not having term limits because this gives more power to the lobbyists and deep state. I

I think the filibuster is one of its defining qualities. It requires that there are compromises in legislation which are usually better than when some bill is passed with majority rule.

I think so but it's not essential.

I support it 100% and will never vote to eliminate it. It ensures that there is compromise.

John McCain and Orrin Hatch

I'm not very good at jokes. My Grandfather Willis was. I guess I didn't get his genes.

I will want to know their views on our laws and how they are administered and view their record as being an attorney and or judge.

I want to get to know many of the members and develop a working relationship.

It is essential! It usually is the best solution to policymaking.

It is essential to ensure that our national policies and laws are followed and should be used as often as possible.

Many individuals

Are they honest, hard working, and willing to see everyone's views? Also, are they willing to stand up to the President on important issues.

Health

This is a major problem. Our government is huge and there are few that understand the immensity of our financial system. Everything should be done to make it more transparent . It is my sense, that those in government feel that they can do whatever they want without any repercussions. This leads to laziness and poor service.
