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 defense of self, and in defense of others, are two cases in which it is morally defensible to kill another human being. The consideration necessarily is between two human lives, for two human lives are at stake. Thus if the mother’s life is in jeopardy by her pregnancy, then the awful choice between the mother and her child is morally supportable. In lesser circumstances than life versus life, the choice to abort a child becomes morally indefensible.
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
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I would reduce all government spending. The economically correct imperative is to reduce government spending to the bare minimum necessary to effect essential functions of government only – and leave the rest in the capable hands of the citizens who earned that wealth. The market economy unencumbered by increased taxes will in fact increase the wealth of the people and then the state and aid in balancing the budget.
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 commonly repeated phrase “wall of separation between church and state” actually does not appear in the Constitution. The correct understanding comes directly from the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;” In the actual text it is obvious that it is Congress, and by extension the entire government, that must stay out of all aspects of religion. Religion is in no way restricted from participating in republican government. Government must remain completely and eternally silent on the subject of religion and the free exercise thereof.
HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?
By keeping government out of it. The effect of government never is to make anything less expensive nor more available. The effect of government always is to suppress supply by regulation, and inflate price by taxation. The only answer is to leave all such personal and private matters as one’s personal health entirely up to the person. The free market by its nature supports the needs of the common man, in health care as in all other areas. Government by its nature suppresses the common man in favor of the elite.
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?
Protection of national borders is a legitimate and necessary function of government. The question to consider for each prospective immigrant is what benefit he brings to us. Open borders are not the answer, nor is allowing religious, philosophical, and cultural enemies of the United States to gain admittance.
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.
Strongly Agree
I support adding sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression as protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. There is only one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God’s only Son who died on the cross for the sins of all men and rose from the dead on the third day. I serve a living Savior! All have sinned and are in need of a Savior to be rescued from eternal death. By God’s amazing grace, I have accepted this free gift of salvation and look forward to spending eternity with Him.
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.
I am not aware of any publicly available information authored by me. I am a private citizen and have never considered running for office – until very recently. I have observed government at all levels, federal, state and local, usurping Constitutional freedoms of citizens. For that reason I am running for State Representative – to uphold the Constitutional liberty of free citizens of a free republic.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am a wife and mother. I am running for Oklahoma House of Representatives purely as a citizen appalled by the lack of regard for the State and United States Constitutions evident among our elected officials. I am at least 21 years of age and I reside in HD11 in which I am running as required by the Oklahoma Constitution.
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 merely a citizen running for office. I wish to restore reverence for the Constitution, and thereby reverence for individual liberty, at any level I can. I will in all instances uphold the Constitution and protect the individual liberty of Oklahomans, to secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
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.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
None! Quite the opposite, the Second Amendment itself exists expressly to protect individual safety. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
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?
My focus will be to roll back government overreach into citizens’ lives: 1. Repeal entire categories of taxation. 2. Repeal entire categories of regulation. 3. Repeal unnecessary laws.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. All men are created equal with equal inalienable rights. Institutional racism is a relic of the past and no longer relevant to the lives of ordinary citizens.
