OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Fetal Demise.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Spending could be more meaningfully controlled by requiring more background data to be included on Fiscal Notes for legislation. Currently a simple dollar amount is provided to committee members before a bill is heard in a committee. With more data, Fiscal Notes could be more easily scrutinized for excessive spending.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Strongly Agree
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.
Yes
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Contrary to popular belief, the words "separation of church and state" are not in the Constitution. The phrase comes from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Church in which he explains that the government could not interfere with the affairs of the church, nor could the government establish a state sponsored religion.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
We need to encourage more healthcare providers to be transparent in the pricing of their services. This will empower patients to comparison shop for non urgent care. The Surgery Center of Oklahoma posts online the all inclusive price of their services, and their pricing is significantly lower than other providers. We can improve access to care and reduce healthcare cost by removing barriers that prevent healthcare professionals from providing the care that they are educated and trained to provide. Such restriction increase the cost of care and reduce access to care. Texas has one of the most restrictive laws in the country for Nurse Practitioners. I have worked on legislation during previous Legislative Sessions to remove these barriers. These and other free market approaches can reduce the cost of care and make it more accessible.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
IMMIGRATION
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.
Agree
State and federal funds should be denied to any public or private entity, including but not limited to sanctuary cities, that are not in compliance with immigration laws.
Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Individuals that have the ability to be productive, that have followed our immigration laws, and have a low risk to cause our country harm should be allowed to immigrate.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Promotion of the LGBT agenda in public schools, including teaching of “sexual orientation” and “gender identity”, is completely inappropriate and should be opposed at the state and local level.
Strongly Agree
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born again Christian conservative. My husband and I have been married for 40 years attend Christ Chapel Bible Church.

Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
