OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Unfortunately I'm torn on this subject matter. For myself personally an abortion should be allowed when the baby is a threat to the mother's life or in cases of rape and incest. With that being said we should provide information about other options that don't include loss of life. Outlawing abortion will not stop it from happening. It just forces women back in to black market abortions. I feel all life is precious and that includes unborn babies at any stage in development.
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.
Agree
Only in the case of a terminally ill individual. NOT in a case of arbitrary suicide.
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
It needs to be continually reviewed so that it remains fair and equitable to all parties.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?
Annual third-party audits need to be enacted in all branches and all departments to identify waste and unsound spending practices.
Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.
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?
Short of abuse, fraud and any other unlawful activity, the government should not be able to close churches.
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.
I am most closely aligned with answer C.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Absolutely NONE. Vaccinations should be a personal decision made by the individual with guidance from their healthcare professional.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Tighten border security and immigration policies. Also focus on eliminating foreign policies that seek to undermine our beliefs.
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
Not our fight.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
We should properly fund the border the border patrol. We should also complete the wall on the southern border.
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
Anyone who respects our country's rules and customs. Those who are willing to apply and enter lawfully and follow the process that is required to obtain legal citizenship.
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 follow a non-denominational Christian spiritual belief.
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 propose a stronger system to insure everyone is properly identified and eliminate mail-in ballots aside from extenuating circumstances. Another change that should be amended is to eliminate ballot harvesting.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
As a biracial woman the short answer is NO.
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

Strongly Disagree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Background checks and mandatory safety course should suffice.
Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.
Strongly Disagree
The dealers and the manufactures did not pull the trigger to said gun. Will we sue knife manufacturers for knife violence?
