Although it would be a rare exception, if a mother's life was in danger during the beginning of her pregnancy then I believe it should be left to the mother and father to decide with information only (not their opinion) from health providers. Complete documentation from the health providers on the circumstances, why abortion would be considered, and all available options should be required before an abortion. If towards the end of the pregnancy complications arose risking the health of the mother, labor would be induced or a C-section performed. The survival rate of premature babies is exceptional.

Never. Any circumstances which may occur as a challenge to the church members should be left for the church leaders to decide if a church needs to close. Government should never have the choice to close churches.

Homeland Security along with the United States Military should continuously monitor any threats and assess best practice approaches to keep American Citizens safe at all times. Intelligence agencies inside the U.S. Government needs to be scrutinized and problems remedied from within to ensure continued thwarts of attacks. The U.S. Military should be readily prepared at all times to use its force to prevent attacks. Members of Congress must pass a resolution to authorize military force to defeat ISIS.

Strongly Disagree

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available. Provisions need to be reassessed and up-dated to stop abuses of these two programs.

Never. Government, schools, nor employers should ever be able to require vaccinations or any other medications to be required for school or work. This is a personal choice and any forced vaccinations are an overreach.

Tax rates need to be fair and equitable to all, not designed to enhance the wealthy or to penalize the poor. While taxes are an important economic need to run the United States, excessive taxation should be avoided for all.

The biggest spending cut I feel should be by reducing the size of our Federal Government. We have 435 voting members and 6 non-voting members in the House of Representatives with 100 Senators. Respectfully, I believe the Senators should stay at 100 however the House of Representatives should be reduced to no more than 250 members. Term limits should be set, as well as, a maximum age cap for all elected officials.

Strongly Disagree

Public Education should be from K-12. Attending college, university, or vocational schools are a choice the student makes and along with that comes the burden of finance. Many scholarships go unused each year to help off-set the costs of upper education. Student loans should not be forgiven fully or in-part. The costs of upper education is expensive but by bearing the burden of cost it provides incentive to students, teaches students to be accountable, and expect financial hardships in life.

Strongly Agree

Immigration laws need to be enforced and while I do not like the thought of a wall, it should be built to secure our border.

The United States Government has always had laws on immigration and we need to follow the laws that have been set forth. These laws serve to protect the citizens in the United States but allow for immigration through set procedures. While it is a lengthy process, those who seriously have a desire to become American Citizens have been willing to go through the process and then be welcomed into the United States.

Agree

As with all policy and guidelines there are sometimes gaps that lead to misinterpretation but all officers should be afforded the innocent until proven guilty defense. Continuous training, policy updates, and guidelines helps to ensure any gaps are identified and corrected. It is also important to listen to police officers on policies that need to be updated or corrected since they are the feet on the ground.

Strongly Disagree

it is critical for police departments to have adequate funding at all times. Mental health and community programs are simply not trained to work in unsafe environments and the last thing I want to see is for someone in these programs to get hurt or killed. No to redirecting funds.

Gun ownership is and should always be a personal choice without Federal or State interference with the exception of federal criminals and those proven with mental disorders that are violent or a risks to their own health or that of other people.

Strongly Disagree

Firearm dealers and manufacturers no more cause violence than a manufacturer of automobiles, hammers, or screwdrivers. Let's have laws that make sense.

As in the U.S. Constitution, the purpose of government is to form a more perfect union by establishing justice, ensuring domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, promoting the general welfare, and securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. I follow these visions and missions and believe all elected officials take an oath to do the same. While government is the authority of regulating, legislating, and issuing executive and court orders, it is my belief the United States Government needs to be downsized and less overreaching into private lives, businesses, and religion.

Very Conservative

Overall, I consider myself as very conservative in my beliefs and views. With that being said, it is my belief everyone has the right to have fair representation in legislature by being heard, valued, and respected for their ideas and opinions.

Currently I have had one radio interview on FM 98.7 with Jim Baxa and Ally Phillips on Walk by Faith Radio. On January 6, 2022 I have a radio interview scheduled on 95.9 with Wade Wilkes, an interview with The Home Builders Association on Tuesday January 11, 2022, and a Candidate forum January 13, 2022 at Cook's Garage sponsored by Prosperity West Texas, True Texas Project, Healthcare Freedom of Lubbock, and West Texas For Life. The Texas Realtors and Lubbock Association of Realtors will be in contact to schedule a time and date for an interview.

Never

My goals are to continue to promote the beautiful state of Texas as a state where citizens are free to work and play, practice their choice of religion without government oversight, keep Lubbock Pro-Life with a push for all of Texas, and to give every Texan the opportunity to succeed and flourish in work, school, family, and church. My priorities include Students Education, Elderly needs, Military Veterans and Military Spouses, working to fight for our first responders in safety, getting the targets off of their backs, new hire retention, better pay and benefits, and providing for their needs when called into action. I also am ready to work on legislation to ensure all elected Texas officials attend government sessions in person, except for personal emergencies, or receive criminal penalties and fines. Each elected official knows (or should know) before going into office what the requirements are that is expected of them and owe the voters and citizens of Texas respect, hard work, and their dedication to doing Politics Right!

I do not believe or have a desire to tell God he is wrong or made a mistake.

Strongly Disagree

I made a profession of my faith to God as a young girl and have dedicated my life to living the life I believe God has chosen for me to live through fellowship, baptism, and the need for salvation through my belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God. I hold the scriptures, both the old and new testaments as the final authority. Christ will sit in judgement of those saved and lost upon the Great White Throne (Revelation 20:11) and in the Judgement Seat of Christ (Corinthians 5:10) of believers for the failures and accomplishments while alive.

Strongly Disagree

Any U.S. citizen of voting age is able to obtain a driver's license or identification card. Congress passed HR 1268 (P.L. 109-13) as an emergency appropriations bill in 2005. All registered voter's should have a photo ID.

To strengthen our voting practices requiring all voter's be registered by an applicable date and show proof with a photo ID both to register and to vote. Mail in ballots should only be used for Military/Spouses, those who work outside of their state or country, and people who are temporarily out of their voting state during the voting period. Temporary voting booths should be provided at hospitals and nursing facilities. All states should be required to purge voters who have moved out of state or have become deceased.

At the present time, yes racism is a domestic security threat in the United States. Our President vowed to unite "we the people" but instead he and our legislative officials have worked to dismantle any gains we have made in accepting, understanding, and embodying diversity. To value and have insight into different cultures is a salient feature that brings people together in pronounced ways of life and bonding.

Strongly Disagree

As a Native Indian, I do not believe reparations should be given to anyone for accessorial history. Sadly, my great-grandmother left her tribe to marry, leaving behind her entire history. While my birth certificate indicates I am Caucasian, it is a sad reality that part of my true history has been lost. While the United States history has been an atrocity, it is up to us as a nation to work toward unity and provide support as individuals to each other without regard to race.

Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost many jobs and hurts the economy. While there are ways to reduce bad environmental effects, the implementation of trying to do too much at once hurts the economy severely.

Neutral

I am currently researching the differences of hydraulic fracturing in vertical wells that was used for over 50 years to horizontal fracking that was pioneered in the late 1980's and is continuing to evolve.
