OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
No circumstances. Adoption is always an option. Life is sacred.
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
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
I believe we need a flat tax to simplify and standardize income taxes.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
I don' know where to begin - there is SO much waste and corruption in frivolous government spending. I would need time to do further review to provide a thoughtful answer.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely not.
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. It is a complete violation of our First Amendment Constitutional right to religious liberty.
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.
My answer is "C". To abolish Medicare now would be to rob generations of people that paid money into the system their whole lives. However, I believe a careful audit and "housecleaning" of Medicaid and Medicare needs to be done to eliminate wasteful fraud.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None. It is strictly the role of parents to make health care choices for their children. And, it is a Constitutional violation of personal liberty to require employees to be vaccinated.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
To begin with, re-instate our Southern border, which is allowing millions of unvetted and dangerous people, including terrorists, to infiltrate our country.
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
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?
Those who are property vetted with background checks and show that they have a means of supporting themselves without being a drain on hardworking taxpayers.
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am an unabashed born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ with deep spiritual convictions. I strive to live by faith and obedience and be bold in speaking truth and making a difference in our culture.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Ensure that Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution is followed in authorizing only the state legislatures to control their respective elections. Because internet hacking and cybersecurity is such an issue, I would like to see a return to paper ballots with valid Drivers License to eliminate all possible intrinsic corruption in technology.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely not. Our Declaration declares that all men are created equal with equal opportunity, but not equal outcome. The narrative of oppressed and oppressors only creates victim mentality and is an insult to people of color.
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.
I agree with "A".
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
ABOUT YOU
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
According to the Preamble of Constitution, the role of government is to establish unity, domestic tranquility, justice, defense, and promote general welfare of the people.
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).
Public video of debate of an opponent at the Flathead County Pachyderm Club; letters of endorsements by legislators previously mentioned, letter to the editor published in the Kalispell Daily Interlake newspaper; videos done by social media manager available online.
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. However, I was arrested in 1989 for quietly and silently praying at an abortion clinic in Dallas. The judge expunged my record of the "attempted criminal trespass" charge.
What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
Having both an education and professional background in Constitutional Law, I believe the states need to stand strong for their 10th Amendment Constitutional rights and liberties. As a successful business woman for many years, I believe small businesses are the backbone of a healthy economy, and would strive to support them.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.
Strongly Agree
Agree, in compliance with departmental policy. However, those who abuse their authority should be held accountable.
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?
None. The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. Factual data also shows it is successful in deterring crime.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
