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
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 Disagree
There should be a complete ban on chemical abortion drugs.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
God is the author of life. There is no circumstance to allow elective abortion.
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?
As your congresswomen, I will take steps to defund abortion.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Expose the Federal Reserve and go back to the Gold standard.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG is dangerous because it takes away freedom from the people and gives power to the government. When tyranny reigns, resistance is duty.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The state needs to stay out of the church.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances!
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
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.
C
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The CCP has infiltrated our country and control many of our elected officials.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes, Israel is our closest ally and biblically important.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
The woke agenda.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Congress needs to use the power of the purse to stop funding the government until the border is closed.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
People who go through the legal process.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I home schooled my 4 sons.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
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.
Strongly Agree
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is my Lord and Savior. I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. The Holy Spirit lives in me.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Fossil fuels and atomic energy
