OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I would support an investigation as to why a disproportionate number of minority babies are aborted and why abortion campaigns are targeted towards poor and minority communities. This is a subject that "Pro-Choice" supporters don't want to talk about, Margaret Sanger's genocide death clinics should be investigated
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
Like every drug there are side effects that could be worse or deadly without a full medical history. Hormone manipulation should be under a doctor's supervision the way a chemical abortion works, a woman is blocking hormones that naturally occur In a women in higher levels during pregnancy, this stops the development of a baby. The second drug causes the now deceased baby to be passed from the uterus bleeding occurs which could be dangerous to the mother.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Life and safety of the mother
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
The legislative branch has a role regarding the funding of abortions that is within the powers of Congress. I would not provide funding. The Judicial branch interprets the laws, which includes the highest law of the land the US. Constitution. This will come down once again to the Judicial branch, likely all the way back to the US Supreme Court to interpret how the 9th and 14th amendment applies to the life of an unborn
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (2022) Sums it up The Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses protect an individual engaging in a personal religious observance from government reprisal. The Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Referring to MASTERPIECE CAKESHOP, LTD., ET AL. v. COLORADO CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION ET AL. The ruling was absolutely correct, no one should be forced to violate ones religious beliefs or be forced to participate in acts that would violate their beliefs.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
Option C, we can not save the world. Like our founding fathers we declared war and fought for our independence other citizens of oppressed countries must do the same. While we did get help from France if we were asked for help like we did with France we could evaluate the situation at that point
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
China is our number one threat and they should be naturalized, we need to bring manufacturing back to the United States away from China. China has an agenda and that is to destroy America. They steal intellectual property from the United States. They spy on the United States and they systematically undermine the American economy.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Absolutely Israel is our ally we need to defend and support Israel against terrorism. Hamas is a terrorist organization hiding behind innocent citizens. The United States should have stepped in and crushed Hamas. Now we have left open the opportunity Iran to take advantage of our weakness. Once we get involved now we will likely be in a war with Iran.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Americans are losing faith and hope in our country. Our commander-in-chief is weak and decisive and has put a global target on our backs. No one wants to be in the armed forces under our current commander and chief Joe Biden.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
The government should never force medical decisions on its citizens, which is why I defended and stopped forced vaccinations on police officers, the military, firefighters, and teachers.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Option C only for US citizens
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Reduce income taxes and taxes. Employment taxes, and regulatory/administrative taxes the Government likes to call "fees" I would also stop the purchase of foreign interest buying property and owning US companies. America has to be 1st.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
The ones who owes a duty to its student are the Universities who charge unreasonable tuitions fees. Tax payers should not pay money that ultimately only benefited colleges. I agree with current programs that forgiving certain amounts of student loans for public service. If you want to get a degree in knitting, that’s your choice an on you.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
This is a self explaining question the fact that we actually have to ask candidates. This question shows how far we have fallen. When you go home at night, you close your front door & lock it so no one uninvited guess can just walk into your house. We need to do the same for our country. The United States government has a duty to protect its citizens from enemies both foreign & domestic. How can you protect against foreign enemies when you leave your front door wide open unlocked & unguarded.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Immigration should be done under our immigration laws, if you are caught here illegally you should be removed. No rewards for those who break the law.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
As a mom of 11 year old triplets school choice is a priority for me, school choice is the only way to ensure equality in education.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Neutral
I believe without Federal dollars states like CA would be able to influence education where smaller states would have a disadvantage. There has to be a healthy balance
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
Police law-enforcement are already under funded safety and all communities should be our number one priority. There are currently too many unsolved crimes, including murders. Each unsolved case represent justice not being served. There should be increased federal dollars allocated to supporting law-enforcement and cities that have high Crime.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Enforcing current laws will keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Law abiding citizen has a right to bear harms which is why when gun stores were closed and deemed them non-essential I filed the federal lawsuit McDougall v Ventura County that open the gun stores. We won twice in the ninth circuit court of appeals.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Disagree
There are nine justices and an even number where a ruling will be by majority, I believe that with more justices, it leaves the court vulnerable to be political for a lifetime. There have been nine justices since 1869.
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
I also believe in individual freedoms as protective under the United States Constitution.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
I tell you what the purpose of the government is not and that is to regulate it citizens out of power. The preamble to the constitution says we the people of the United States America… With the overregulation of the government unconstitutional laws that infringe upon our fundamental rights it’s no longer the people. if we cannot shift that balance back to the people, our country will no longer be the country that are founding fathers fought so hard to establish.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
VALUES
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Agree
I agree however I agree based on my Religion, as a strict constitutionalist I can not infringe on another’s rights based on my Religious beliefs. (See my Religious Liberty answer)
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
These types of behavior is child abuse and neglect and should be treated as such.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Agree
Absolutely not!!!!!! I would agree for taxpayer funding for psychological help and therapy.
iVoterGuide Notes:
After evaluations occurred, the candidate expressed that her preferred response to this question should be “Strongly Disagree“
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am constitutionalist I believe in God, I believe in the Bible, I believe in the original version, the Dead Sea Scrolls. God’s name is Yahweh, I am a Christian. My husband is Catholic, My children are baptized Catholics. I attend and enjoy the calorie chapel church, I also attend Catholic services with my husband. His great aunt is a beatified saint.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
we have to secure our elections. We cannot secure our elections without ensuring those who are legally eligible to vote. Are the ones who are voting and therefore voter ID is necessary and crucial. Puerto Rico has a voter ID that is issued just for voting. I have one in the alley 2020 election fraud cases still alive in court and has won in the 9th circuit court of appeals.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
if we am in the constitution to abolish the electoral college. California and New York will be deciding our elections states that are smaller. Won’t have a choice in the election.
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
I do not agree with nor support critical race theory however, I do believe that racism still exist. We are human and imperfect, and where there is imperfection there is prejudice. I believe racism lies within a person, not within a political party or a group. Racism is prejudice, the word prejudice derives from pre-judging meaning people prejudge others based on characteristics, color, race,, religion, gender, etc.
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
It’s a full out war on women transgender women are men pretending to be women. They are allowed to commit hate crimes on women commit domestic violence on women molest little girls in girls bathrooms, where they should be safe. Men are born with a XY chromosome women are born, with a XX chromosome. If you do not have an XX chromosome, you do not belong in women’s sports.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Neutral
The United States is not the problem China, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, and every other country that manufactures products with a disregard to the environment. We need to start there I believe we need to protect our planet, but not at the extreme environmental terrorist believe we should. The mentioned countries, need to do their part and I have no problems with forcing them to do it.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Nuclear
