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
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
In cases of rape or incest pregnancy can be prevented early enough and could be stopped by the prevention of conception in by technologies implemented in a hospital setting. Abortion should not be used as a form of birth control.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Neutral
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?
We need to 1st find out what our money is being spent on. I think we should start with the salaries and expenses of our lawmakers in federal, state and local areas. Lately with Covid we have extra money that was not spent from our budget. We can start there. I believe that our lawmakers, especially the Congress, are receiving way too much money from our tax dollars. The people should not have less then the servants who are the representatives of the people. Our servants are living like ki
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?
I believe the framers of the Constitution meant that Congress can not establish a country or state run church or religion. That government can not tell individuals what religion to believe. This gives all citizens the right to worship as they please free from government control. The words separation of church and state is not in our Constitution.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Neutral
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I have seen several health insurance saving plans work well. I believe the future of our health insurance will be health savings plans.
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.
Strongly 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.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Legal immigrants only!
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Neutral
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.
No Answer
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I serve my God and my fellow man. I believe in treating others the way you want others to treat you. My father was a Baptist Pastor and taught me to follow the 10 Commandments. I believe all life is precious! We all must answer to a higher authority than ourselves. I believe in following and preserving our Constitution which describes our rights as individuals endowed to us by our creator and no other authority can take them away.
ABOUT YOU
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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
I believe in the preservation of our rights as given to us by God. We need less government. Less government less taxation. Capitalism/Free enterprise is what makes our country run! It gives us the motivation to work toward the American Dream.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I have been a longstanding member of my community in Genesee County. I have worked for Flint Community Schools for 15 years as a teacher, HOSTS Coordinator and a Title I Teacher. I understand the needs in our community and have been involved with many community churches as my father was a pastor for many years and my mother the niece of a man who built several churches in Genesee county. Lately I have been working with sales and Marketing and run a small natural health business. I have heard 1st hand from the people and have a great understanding of their unique needs. I will be their voice and bring integrity back to our government.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am not a politician. I am funded by individual Patriots and American citizens that need a voice in Lansing. I believe government has grown too big in our country. It has become a big business. It has most recently trampled over the rights of many of our small business owners, forcing them to give up their businesses. This can not go unchallenged by the people. We must allow them to make a living and feed their families. We can't rely on government to take care of us. We have provisions for poor and helpless but this economic suicide is not a solution to our problem. We know this will no longer overload our hospitals and it dies quickly in the sun as well as with cleaning solutions. So, we have it handled. Why are we not open yet? We need Representatives who can show the antibodies testing results and stop all this fear and needless economic shutdown.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Background checks work well when we have accurate records. We should implement our guidelines already in place.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Neutral
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Strongly Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
Improving Public Education for all Citizens Affordable Car Insurance for all Citizens Affordable Health Care for all Citizens Including vaccine Choice for Religion/Health Waivers
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I don't believe racism is a problem in our country. Americans are more United in our fight from tyranny and government overreach than ever before. We are realizing we are all the same. We are Americans just trying to live the American Dream. Race is being used as an excuse by politicians to control the people by divide and conquer.
