R Quin Denning Guide to Vetting Candidates
When I begin to questions a Candidate I have three main areas I focus on:
- Do they have the confidence and courage to stand alone if necessary!
2. Are they familiar with the “Oath of Office” and are they continuously studying the Constitution?
3. How do they maintain their integrity. And will their integrity keep them humble enough to ask for help or additional knowledge?
United States Oath of Office
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Utah Oath of Office
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity.”
Questions I Ask
I begin with questions listed below and then based on answers I will dial in with additional questions on the subject to determine if a candidate is trying to placate me with their answers or if they really believe their answer.
