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

God Constitution Voters
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am opposed to abortion except when it is necessary to prevent the death of the mother.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
America's founders understood that humankind is flawed. As James Madison noted, "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." Thus our founders devised the enduring elasticity of this great nation, wherein we can be human but also protected.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My maxim in life remains what my parents taught me from Luke 12:48: “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” As a devout Christian, my spiritual values guide my decision-making as I seek to protect those who cannot fend for themselves and protect my country. God has blessed me; thus I want to serve my country again.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I've been active in the local community as development director of an Arizona charter school, as a foster parent, and as an Arizona substitute teacher. My husband and I are both alert-roster-ready officers in the US Air Force auxiliary, the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), flying missions and participating in search and rescue efforts.
