Strongly Agree

It is completely unconstitutional and a violation of the Hatch Amendment to use any citizen's federal tax dollars for abortion, and by the same principle, state or local funds should not be used.

Strongly Agree

The Supreme Court should rule against the FDA for their removal of all safeguards on a woman's health through mail order chemical abortion drugs without any doctor's supervision. In Congress, I would work to ensure that the FDA and other government agencies do not enact an arbitrary waiving of their own guidelines.

Exceptions should be made in the case of rape, incest or the life of the mother.

There are places for Federal Pro-life legislation, and there is precedent with the Partial Birth Abortion Ban and the Born Alive Act. I would support common sense pro-life legislation that reflects the views of the majority of Americans. The fact that states like Colorado allow abortion up until the moment of birth is unconscionable and should never be allowed in a civilized society.

We need to make the Trump tax cuts permanent, further reduce taxes and stop the overspending of government. I would push for a balanced budget amendment and single subject appropriation bills which can reduce the pork spending of government.

Strongly Agree

This is an unconstitutional redistribution of debt, and Biden's continued attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling is an abuse of power ignoring the checks and balances built into our system.

No

The government should never be tipping the scales in favor of one industry over another which is what is occurring with green new deal mandates and ESG guidelines.

It comes from the letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptists ensuring that government would never interfere with the free exercise of religion. It has been misappropriated to try and silence religious institutions in the public square. The Constitutional principle that I will fight to uphold is freedom of religion not government forced freedom "from" religion.

Strongly Disagree

I led the rallies in front of the Supreme Court steps during the NIFLA vs Becerra and 303 Creative arguments. No individual, business or organization should have compelled speech forced on them that is contrary to their beliefs. This was correctly decided by SCOTUS to protect everyone including atheists to not be compelled to promote religion, LGBTQ individuals not to be coerced to advocate for traditional marriage as well as people of faith to be free from forced expression against their views.

The government should be never force vaccinations as this is one of our most fundamental freedoms over oneself. Private organizations may have different guidelines but religious and medical exemptions should be honored.

C) The private sector always allows for the greatest opportunity for competition, reduced prices, innovation, excellence in care, and choice for citizens and government was never constitutionally directed to take over this huge sector of our society. There is a limited space for government as a safety net for a very specific group of citizens, but safeguards need to be in place to ensure this is not abused and broadened beyond the real need.

B) America should be very circumspect in its military involvement, especially when it comes to deploying our troops, and our own security should always be first starting with securing our border. There are instances with key allies such as Israel where we should support them as there are existential threats to the basic tenets of civilization and to the U.S. as well. Lastly, these decisions must return to proper process of Congressional oversight.

Strongly Agree

We must stand against Chinese subterfuge on our soil, its purchase of our lands, the infiltration of our sensitive technology, and the CCCP's aggressions abroad.

The United States' relationship with Israel is extremely important both because of it being the only freely democratic country in a very sensitive region, as well as because Israel is on the front lines of a battle between civilization and barbarism that will come to our shores if it is not fought abroad. America and Israel share Judeo-Christian founding principles, shared ideology of the intrinsic value of life, and a commitment to freedom. They are a key ally.

The primary cause of the decline is the politicization of military. The woke ideologies that are being pushed into our forces are contrary to the very fiber of those who choose to serve our nation as cohesive, not divided units, standing on the singular principle of equality not forced equity and division. That with the forced vaccination policies during the shutdown along with a cultural shift away from honoring service have caused this depletion and I am committed to reversing these policies.

Strongly Agree

Having toured the southern border, listening to federal agents tasked with securing our border, I will fight in congress to finish building the wall, ensure that our officers have everything they need to once again patrol and not just process. I would also then work to remove the incentives that are luring people here with a false welcome mat at the expense of U.S. citizens and overwhelming our systems. Ending this humanitarian and national security disaster is my top priority.

We need to enforce our current immigration laws that outline a clear path of United States citizenship. This outlines clear guidelines that only those who wish to come here legally, adhere to our laws and principles of freedom, and desire to become contributing members of society that will enrich the fabric of this country, should be allowed to immigrate. In addition, regarding asylum, the guidelines are clear and we need to return to those standards.

Strongly Agree

I have been on the frontline fighting for school choice and the right of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children. This includes serving founding Parents United America and serving on boards that have been on the leading front of Educational Savings Accounts and tax credit programs. In Congress, I will be an ardent advocate for the money following the student not the system. The group that most benefits from this are underprivileged children trapped in failing schools.

Strongly Agree

The Department of Education was only formed in 197 as an agreement between President Jimmy Carter and the teacher's unions and it gives power to the federal government instead of the original intent of local control.

There is a distinction between religious and civil unions which has been blurred in our current culture.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree

I am a non-denominational Biblically-based Christian. My faith is at the center of my life, my marriage and our family. My husband and I met at our church, have raised our children in our faith community, and continue to serve our congregation.

Strongly Disagree

I am committed to free and fair elections which are the cornerstone of our representative government. Therefore we should make sure that every valid votes count, which in turn means that an invalid vote should not be allowed. Photo identification is one of the keys to ensuring we safeguard our elections.

Strongly Disagree

The electoral college was ingeniously created to ensure that all citizens regardless of region or population density have a voice in their own representation. If the electoral college is abolished, a handful of the most populous urban areas would dictate public policy for all other areas in our country.

Strongly Disagree

America while birthed in a period when slavery was the norm throughout history and the entire world, had the seeds of emancipation in our founding documents and the revolutionary idea of equality of all people at its core. The process since then has been to constantly work on becoming a more perfect union, however it is not inherently racist.

Strongly Agree

It is fundamentally unfair for biological males to compete in women's sports, and a violation of privacy for them to occupy women's spaces. It is diametrically opposed to the long fought victory of Title IX which was enacted to create a fair playing field and safe spaces for women and girls.

Choose not to answer

All of us want a healthy environment, however the unconstitutional push by government to tip the scales for green new deal programs, is an overreach of federal power. Improvements in emissions and clean energy have been driven through innovation by the industries themselves not politically motivated mandates. Our focus to address pollution should instead be directed towards the largest global offenders such as China.

I support an all-of-the above energy policy that should include nuclear power in addition to traditional and innovative energy sources.

Conservative

My definition of Conservative is someone who upholds the constitution which was written to limit government's power over the individual and make it accountable to the citizens who are the very source of that power. By that standard I am very Conservative and as a Congresswoman I will completely adhere to my oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

I believe that America is founded upon the revolutionary idea of governance that has occurred once in all of human history, that every individual is created with intrinsic value and therefore individual liberty, and government has only one job, which is to protect the rights and security of the citizens.

No

No

Strongly Disagree

The moment we begin to pack the court, it completely loses its power to be an independent check and balance for the other branches of government and instead becomes completely politicized. History shows that the loss of integrity of the Judicial Branch is often the first step in the loss of freedom.

Strongly Disagree

Our brave men and women who stand in the gap protecting our communities need more resources not less. There is a place for community organizations, but never as a replacement or at the expense of law enforcement.

All we need to do is enforce our current gun laws, not add more. The constitutionally delineated right for law abiding citizens to protect themselves, their families, their property and their freedom should not be infringed.
