QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None. Life begins at conception.

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Disagree


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Agree


iVoterGuide Notes:

After evaluations occurred, the candidate expressed that her preferred response to this question should be "Strongly Disagree."

Under what circumstances can government close churches?

There are none.


NATIONAL SECURITY

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?

As a state legislator I would support congressional leadership in securing our borders and put an end to illegal immigration. I would also insure proper funding for the Pennsylvania National Guard.

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.

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.

D

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

There are none.


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

A simplification of the tax code, flat tax, elimination of property, death, and estate taxes.

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

I would support lean government operations to eliminate waste fraud and abuse. Streamline regulatory processes and eliminate unnecessary regulation which negatively impact growth. I would look at welfare reform and support legislation to support work when able for those receiving benefits.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

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?

Any law-abiding person who will follow the naturalization process that has already been established.

ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To empower and protect individual rights.

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).

Lancaster Newspaper Hummelstown Sun Laura LaBeau show on WLBR

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?

It is time to rein in Harrisburg. I believe in limited government, personal responsibility, and freedom. It is the job of the government to balance a sustainable budget, protect constituents’ freedoms, and follow the state constitution. I believe in the right to life, that each vote counts and should be accountable, and that people have the inherent right to rule over their own body. I am a defender of the second amendment and abhor anyone who tries to stifle protected free speech. I will fight for our communities.


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 a Christian.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

I would support Voter ID and absentee ballot only.


EQUALITY

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?

There are groups that are attempting to make racism an issue. I will work to serve all Pennsylvania citizens and preserve their individual rights.

Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.

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
