QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I believe life is at conception. We have a heart beat law. When a person no longer has a heart beat they are considered deceased. When one HAS a heart beat at the beginning, this should be considered life as well.
Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.
Strongly Agree
There should be documentation and accountability at all times!
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never. Life is life is life, no matter the circumstance of how it came into existence.
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
I support prolife measures at every level regarding abortion. Babies are our most innocent and vulnerable citizens and should be protected.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
I support de-regulating small businesses, which is the backbone of American economy. I support reopening America’s gas and oil pipelines. We must close the borders and stop allowing illegal immigration. This is an economic crisis to taxpayers.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
Most public universities are indoctrination camps for far left ideologies. If these college students are adult enough to register for college, they need to be adult enough and responsible to pay their own college debt.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
ESG should never be used as any criteria for anything at any time!
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The original intention of this statement is to keep government out of the church. Religious organizations should be free to worship without government interference.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
In the example of the bakery, ALL businesses and individuals should not be mandated by government to provide services if it violates their religious beliefs.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never. I will support medical freedom!
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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C: We need to support insurance for our elderly, disabled and our Veterans. Besides this, healthcare should be a private entity and not government controlled.
NATIONAL SECURITY
With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.
C-Unless we take care of America first (example; close borders, take care of our Veterans & strengthen our military) we are not in the position to involve ourselves in policy making of other nations.
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
We must put strong sanctions on China. They should never be allowed to purchase American land, farms and properties. We should not allow universities to receive millions in donations and allow Chinese citizens to infiltrate our education, military and government institutions.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Yes very important. Israel is our only Democratic ally in the Middle East.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
I first blame the educational system for teachingCRT and Marxism to this generation. The result has been a decline in patriotism, and a huge disrespect to the nation that has blessed them. As a result, we have a decline in recruitment. Forced vaccinations have also caused thousands of military members to exit the military force.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
I am a border candidate and strongly support securing our borders to save lives! We need order at the border immediately. What we are witnessing is an invasion and not a migration. US cannot sustain this financially, and this has become a national security threat at the highest degree!
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
This needs to be a legal and legitimate migration. We have green card recipient laws that are not being used currently. The asylum laws have been manipulated, abused, and exploited with our open border policy under the Biden administration. This must be stopped!
EDUCATION
I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.
Strongly Agree
I am a homeschool veteran mom who has graduated three successful and thriving young men. I am an advocate for homeschooling in particular, and will support all school choice programs, rather than the public school system that has become corrupt and ineffective. The current education system, especially in California is not internationally rigorous and will be a detriment to the sovereignty of the United States.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The school unions are one of the most powerful unions in the nation, and also one of the most corrupt. The public school system has not only failed educationally, but has promoted Marxism, CRT, and the sexualization of our children. The outcome will be a massive detriment to the sovereignty of our nation.
VALUES
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 have gone on public record regarding marriage being defined between a man and a woman, only. I have been attacked on social media platforms, doxxed and threatened. I will continue to hold my ground and not be swayed on this issue.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
The grooming and sexualization of our children has been orchestrated by the powers that be, to weaken the morals and stability of our nation. Sexual grooming has promoted gender-confusion, depression, and elevated suicide rates among our children and youth.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
American tax dollars should absolutely NOT ever be used to mutilate our children with gender transition services or surgeries.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I have been a Christian for 30 years of my marriage, and have attended Calvary Chapel churches for most of this time. I have the strength, courage, and resolve to run for high office only because of the strength amd direction I receive from my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
I adamantly believe we must use Photo identification to vote. We use photo identification for everything in society including driving a car, flying in airplanes, hospital visits, have bank accounts and any type of basic store memberships, etc.. It is an insult to say that minorities do not have access to photo identifications. This, I consider reverse-racism.
The Electoral College should be abolished.
Disagree
By the total number of representatives in a given state of our 50 states, electoral college allows more states to have impact on the choice of the President!
EQUALITY
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
This is a Marxist ideology which creates divisiveness and hatred, that should be abolished in our government institutions in the United States!
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
This is unsafe for girls and women in bathrooms, locker rooms, etc.. This is unfair competition for women’s sports as biological men are stronger and faster.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
I do NOT believe this is a legitimate movement. The agenda went from 1970s global cooling, to 1980s nuclear winter, to 1990s global warming, and now these same globalists tout “climate change”. There is no true science to back up these ever-changing claims.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Gas and oil has been used for electricity, heat and industrial production which would include our military. The diminishing oil and gas supply would also pose a national threat to America’s security on many levels.
ABOUT YOU
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 do you think is the general purpose of government?
Our Republic was set up as ‘We The People’. Government serves the people and not the other way around.
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.
Strongly Disagree
I DO NOT believe we should “pack the courts”. These are unelected justices. We need to keep the limit to the current nine justices in the Supreme Court.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I believe we need to support our men in blue. Law enforcement has been under attack under this Marxist agenda. We need MORE security in our cities not less.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
We need less restrictions, not more restrictions. Statistics, prove that where there are high gun regulations, there is more crime. Chicago would be one example. “A well, regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be in fringed.” As a result of the revolutionary war, a militia made up of citizen soldiers stood up to tyranny against the king of England, and formed a Republic government.
