QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Life or mother Actual rape or incest
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
I am a nurse and I do not support euthanasia. I do believe in palliative care.
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?
Stop supplying them with weapons,
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
Israel is God's sovereign people. We need to pray and support these people.
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- but government has mishandled Medicaid and Medicare wasting and cutting Medicaid benefits to hospitals for years. If somebody has Medicaid, not disabled, the individual should see doctors in a clinic not abused the emergency department as a clinic.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
I realize students are required to have certain immunizations to attend school. No emergency shot, especially for a virus, should be required for any citizen.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Repeal the state gas tax until prices go down below $2 a gallon. I would also work to cut grocery tax.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Alabama has a balanced budget.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
Strongly Disagree
I support K-12 public schools but I also support parental choice in education. College is not a public guarantee.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
Finish the wall.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
I support legal immigration.. America is a great place and many immigrants have made it their home but it must be through legal means.
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.
Disagree
If a policy is an overreach to individual rights or freedoms and police infringe upon rights, they should be held accountable.
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Disagree
I support mental health but not defunding the police.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
People with severe mental health issues that could harm others or themselves or convicted felons 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?
Congress representing the views of the people and making laws governing the people. I believe in a government for the people and by 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

What else would you like voters to know about you, including your legislative priorities?
I will provide town hall meetings to keep constituents informed on bills and issues happening during the legislative session.
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.
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
Neutral
I support marriage of a woman and man. God made Adam and Eve. But, we have forgotten that He loves all and died for all. I can not judge people.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree

I am a Christian. I believe the Bible is God's word and He has a plan for our life. He allows us to make choices (free-will). I brought up my 4 daughters in church and all of them are Christians. I am blessed and have seen God work miracles in the life of people.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
All people should have some form of ID to vote.
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
All people need an ID to vote in any election. It should be nationwide.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Violence toward different races has been a problem in the US and has caused death. I don't believe it is a domestic security issue.
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Disagree

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.
