I voted in these primaries and general elections:

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should never be allowed because it is murder. Doctors should always try to save the baby. Any exceptions or loopholes are liberal talking points to make abortion more prevalent.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
Build the wall. Strengthen immigration system. Close down insurgent extremist mosques which are hotbeds of treason against our country. Bring God back into our public schools. Strengthen the family. Re-cultivate basic respect for authority and our sacred Judeo-Christian institutions upon which this country was based.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Our nation’s founding fathers understood man’s basic problem. They openly and purposefully acknowledged the reality of human sinfulness. (Jer. 17:9) “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick.” Our sinful human nature determines our views on the original limits the founders put into place in our governing documents determining whether the federal government is our master – or whether it serves us.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save us from our sins. This informs my beliefs and actions in all I do in my daily walk in how we have raised our children, served our country in the military, and run our own business. This will be my Rock upon which I serve in the United States Congress.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
Repeal ObamaCare. Make health insurance market-competitive across state lines. Health insurance is a privilege to be earned, not a right.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Government should be involved As little as possible. I am a Free Market capitalist. I own my own business and meet payroll every two weeks. Government needs to get out of my way, so I can create more jobs.
What changes should be made to the tax code?
Simplify the tax code. As a small business owner, I should not have to pay thousands of dollars every year to an accountant to fill out tax forms and then live in terror from the government that one little error could bring down my family.
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Get government out of my way.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Congress must ensure that Social Security funds are safeguarded for the proper use by those of us who paid into it, and not be used for other purposes. Give options to younger generations to opt out.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
As a 20-year operational Air force pilot (one of the Air Force's first women pilots), I have served my country nationwide. My perspective is unique and appreciative. I know the difference between deploying under a weak feckless commander-in-chief versus serving under a strong resolute commander-in-chief. I've lived "Peace through Strength" and know its efficacy. Since the military, I have had to make payroll as a business owner for 21 years. Small business is the backbone of this country. I live it every day. Finally, we have raised two children and have four grandchildren. I home-schooled them through half of their educational years. I am a State of AZ teacher. I understand youth and the challenges they face in today's world. My background is what the Founders envisioned in sending a principled military veteran to serve her country again in Congress and then come back home.

This includes fighting to: 1. Build the wall 2. End sanctuary cities 3. Cut spending 4. Defund Planned Parenthood 5. Take care of our military veterans 6. Protect our 2nd Amendment
