Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Disagree

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

The United States must maintain a nuclear arsenal that is safe, reliable, modern and numerically superior to those of potential adversaries.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I believe we can find common ground to reduce the number of abortions nationally. As an adoptive mother of four children, I believe we can do more to encourage other families to adopt. We could reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies by making contraception more readily available. I trust the women of Kansas to make their own decisions. In addition, we should support women in difficult economic situations by offering them help as I have done through Project Pink - which helps pregnant women lacking support get back on track.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

The original purpose of constitutional limits on government was to check the arbitrary actions of hereditary monarchs who abused their power and acted on popular impulses.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a proud United Methodist. We believe in open doors, open minds, open hearts. I strive to do all things that make the world a better place. I try not to pass judgments as I know I am not without sin and most importantly I try to show LOVE.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Moderate

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I have a life history filled with accomplishments achieved by bringing people together. I believe in working together to find common ground; areas of overlapping agreement that can create positive progress to solve the real problems facing Kansas’ families.
