QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
To save the life of the mother.
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.
Choose not to answer
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
No organizations which perform abortions should receive any taxpayer funding whatsoever.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None. There is a separation between church and state and government should not interfere with 1st Amendment rights for individuals to attend the church he or she wishes to attend.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes. The United States and Israel are long standing allies.
HEALTHCARE
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.
C is closest. Governmental, Big Pharma, and Big Insurance interference and regulations are the biggest problem in healthcare, as seen with the changes since Obamacare came into effect.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on the minimum wage?
Keep it as is and do not change it. Increasing it will increase inflation.
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
As a State Representative, Michigan should use Article IV of the US Constitution and mirror the image of the State of Texas legislation to protect the State of Michigan. Article IV allows states to have stronger protections for the citizens of the State than the Federal Government.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Added restrictions on gun ownership do not protect public safety. Livingston County is one of the safest counties in Michigan (and the US) and is a 2a Sanctuary County with zero murders last year.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Those who have valid Concealed Pistol Licenses should be allowed to carry guns in schools and all supposed "gun free" zones. Criminals already carry in those places.
ABOUT YOU
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
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
The purpose of government it to first protect our communities and to protest life, liberty, and property.
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?
Choose not to answer
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
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
The Supreme Court has decided this issue, yet through my faith, I believe that marriage is one man and one woman. I believe that God is the one to Judge and we as Christians should not judge.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian who is strong in her faith and believes that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and whosoever believes in him shall have everlasting life. John 3:16
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
It is a threat to security as special interest groups wish to pit races against one another. We all bleed red. I have fought against racism in my trials as an attorney and have seen it occur.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Disagree
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
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
C. We need energy independence most of all to protect our jobs and our national security. We can not support Gotion plants here in Michigan which bring the Chinese Government interests into our backyards.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
We need an "all of the above" energy policy.
