OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Life of the Mother
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
None
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
The United States, as a sovereign nation, has the right and responsibility to protect the people of the United States. This means that we have a responsibility to protect the people of our country from all dangerous foreign and from coming into the country. Whether we are speaking about Islamic terrorism or any other terrorism, illegal drugs like fentanyl coming across our border and so on, we have a responsibility to control our borders. We need to secure our borders immediately. This is not isolated to one group of people. We have an obligation to protect our borders from all dangers.
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
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)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None No one has the right to force anybody to receive a medical treatment, including vaccines, against their will. In addition, we need legislation passed by the Indiana legislature that prevents all entities from being able to mandate vaccines or any medical treatment as a condition of employment or attendance at school
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Repeal estate tax, repeal Indiana gas tax
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Indiana has a balanced budget however, that doesn't mean that all money is used responsibly. I absolutely believe that Indiana needs to maintain a balanced budget and a surplus. We need to tackle some serious problems in Indiana such as mental health but I believe that we can do that by reducing pork spending and looking at where we are giving money to entities such as the school system to do substandard mental health (which does not belong in the schools because their job is to educate) and using that money instead to build Indiana's mental health system and attract Mental Health Providers to Indiana. We can do all of this while maintaining not just a balanced budget but a surplus.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Candidate notified iVoterGuide.com with an update, "I do not support guaranteed government funding of college. I do not believe in defunding public k through 12.".
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
America is the land of opportunity. I would not be here if my grandparents had not packed up their children and fled to the United States right before the Nazis destroyed their Village. My grandparents immigrated to the United States legally. I believe that we must remain that land of opportunity however, people need to go through the legal processes to become citizens.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Agree
Everybody has an obligation to use a fully formed conscience in making decisions However, as a general rule, I believe that police should be protected from prosecution if they are following department protocols.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Convicted criminals that are determined to be dangerous should not be allowed to own guns.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Disagree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
To protect and defend the people of the United States, protect individual liberty, protect the borders of the United States from foreign and domestic enemies and to promote the general welfare of the nation.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Based on the endorsements that we have received from organization such as Liberty Defense and Make Liberty Win, and the personal endorsements that we have received from ,BCRW, Pastor Michah Beckwith and ratings from Hoosiers for medical Liberty and Hoosiers for life, that can be found on our campaign website, I believe that we would be considered to be very conservative.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.
No
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I have spent the majority of my adult life fighting for parental rights, medical freedom and the sanctity of life at all stages. This is not something that I came into since the pandemic of 2020. We moved our family from a liberal state to Indiana in order to have a safe place to raise our children. We knew from the time that we began dating and got engaged, that we wanted to be able to homeschool our children or choose faith-based options in education. I would say that my dedication to fighting for individuals and families of Indiana and this country comes from life experience. I will always fight for the rights of individuals and families to make the decisions that are best for their family. In addition, if elected, I will go to the Indiana State House to unite with other like-minded legislators to end abortion in our state. That is a non-negotiable for me. I will also author or co-author legislation to end medical mandates in the state of Indiana. Further, I will work to pass legislation that protects all children in Indiana from Liberal ideology that threatens their well-being. I look forward to uniting with other like-minded legislators in Indiana to make Indiana the great state that it has been in the past and that I know that it can't continue to be.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
I support adding gender identity as a specially protected class in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
CRT is damaging for all people.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a practicing Catholic ,, Christian. Our Christian faith is extremely important to my husband and I and guides us in the upbringing of our children and all decisions that we make for our marriage and our family. At the end of the day, we believe that it is our job to raise our children to know that Jesus Christ is their lord and savior and that while we may fail them, God never will. We believe in the God of the Bible and the Trinity.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Indiana requires voter ID and I support this legislation. I also believe that we need to move to paper ballot backup as soon as possible. In addition, both need to be counted on Election night. Only if a recount is needed should counts continue for days.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I do not believe that we are a racist Nation. I believe that our media and a leftist agenda is working overtime to divide the people of the United States. We are one nation under God and all people are equal regardless of race. Racism will only be a threat if we buy into the leftist and media narrative. When the media and leftist agenda win, then racism becomes a threat to domestic security because we see things like riots breaking out
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost.
A
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
