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
If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, North Carolina should repeal its law allowing abortion up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Less than 1% of abortions are needed due to incest or rape. I have women counseled because of their earlier choices made in life. The turmoil a woman goes through after having an abortion because of any circumstance is heartbreaking. I personally couldn't recommend an abortion at any time.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
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?
The state does not have any authority to impose or control the message of the church. The state cannot force or implement through legal action the words spoken from a pulpit.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
I would encourage more choices for the consumer. Allowing the consumer to drive the need, and allowing more diversity at the table, creates affordable coverage for more people. Considering expansion when the current coverage offered is not meeting the needs of those who already are under its care is not wisdom. A business would not succeed if expanding without maintaining its service within its budget. We must prove Healthcare before we move Healthcare forward.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
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, sheriff and local law enforcement agencies should be required to participate in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 287(g) Program to enhance the safety and security of their communities to identify and detain aliens.
Strongly Disagree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who follows the law and proper procedure. And those entering should receive a speedy process.
EDUCATION
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Disagree
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Parents should have the right to know what schools are teaching their children about sex and LGBT issues and should have the right to opt their children out of any instruction to which they object.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am the righteousness of God through the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ. I believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I am a Judah-Christian believe and believe the scripture is the word of God. I love the Lord my God with all my heart, mind, soul and spirit. I choose to give grace to others because I have been graced through the cross. He who began a good work in me is faithful to complete it. I I study to show myself approved unto God, and in the end, I want to hear my Heavenly Father say, "Well done." Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except by Him. In Him, I live and move and have my being. I am called to be a light, not a flick-your-bic. It is not my responsibility to light others or to measure their light. I am to let my light shine so others may see my works and bring glory to God the Father.
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?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information validating your answer to the previous question.
Nowhere else in the world does any other country flourish like America. I value the promise God gave to Abram. "Those who bless you, I will bless and those who curse you I will curse." To whom much is given, much is required. America is a blessed country with great responsibility. I believe we are to hold the door open for religious freedom, free-enterprise, education, and family values. America has been founded upon the Judah-Christian values and has an obligation to the founding father's declaration and ideals for this country founded under God. Economically and Socially we should treat our neighboring countries with respect without undermining our core values or principles. America should always be a voice of truth and freedom during foreign policy but we are not required to be the police of the world. Immigration needs major attention. Anything obtained illegally is illegal.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am qualified to seak the seat of NC House of Representative District 36 for many reasons. I have lived in the District for more than 25 years and know my community. I have an ear to listen to and know how to discern the wisdom of those around me. I know how to build relationships with others. I have no fear asking for help, respectfully disagreeing, or standing on principles even if I have to go it alone. I have spent my life in the public eye. I have served my community when they needed me. I am running for office now not for a title but because the people need a representative who will represent the values of this district. I have spent more than 20 years flipping and managing properties. I know the value of determining a solid budget and staying within those parameters.
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 who I say I am and do what I say I will do. I have been married for 26 years on 1-15-20. We have raised our family here in both private and public education. My sons have attended University and community college. I believe continued education is an important tool but not all education is found in the classroom. I hope to inspire the next generation of young women to guard their hearts and encourage them to dream big! Remember, the only one who can stop you is you.
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
I support the use of Sharia law as a basis for legislation and judicial decisions in the United States.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
No Answer
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I am conflicted by this question. Those I know who are gun owners are respectful of others. More stringent gun ownership laws would not alter the mass shootings and attacks on the public. These attacks were not due to a lack of laws but due to the lawlessness of the heart. I found the question "should teachers carry guns" to be vague for the severity of the question.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I support the legalization of recreational marijuana.
Disagree
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
In priority order, what three areas of legislation do you propose to author or sponsor if elected?
I would like to see larger support for organizations like Capital Teen Court (solution to raise the age). I would like to see counties like Wake fostering the program in the rural counties by offering support. Create an equal footing competitive market for all energy sources. Teachers have been promised an increase, but are the last in line. I would like to have teachers and teacher support (RSO, nurses, social workers, assistants)moved to the front of the class.
