QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Only in the rare extreme case where the mother's life is endangered and the child would not survive birth.

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


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?

As a state legislator, my role will be securing our southern border. Beyond that, my power is very limited. This is a better question for candidates for federal office. That said, securing our border will do more to protect our homeland than any other action being considered.

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


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

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

I opposed Covid vaccine mandates and continue to do so.


ECONOMY

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

Abolish state income tax as quickly as possible

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

All of it by decreasing the size and scope of the bureaucracy.

Taxpayer-funded public education should be guaranteed through college.

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?

People who wish to become United States Citizens because they believe in the American dream. People who will take the oath of citizenship and mean it. People whose job skills and qualifications will allow them to contribute and be self-sufficient. And all of this at a time of America's choosing, when it is in our country's best interests to allow it.


EDUCATION

I support school choice, including voucher programs, tax credits, charter schools, private schools, and home schools.

Strongly Agree

It is actually a big part of my race because my opponent blocked a critically important school choice expansion that would have empowered thousands of Arizona kids. Her vote against school choice has been a powerful motivator for me and my campaign.


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

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?

I do not believe in any infringement on our 2nd Amendment rights!

Victims of gun violence should be able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

To provide security (national defense, strong borders, police enforcement), to dispense justice (our courts and justice system/jails), to ensure the well being of those who cannot provide for themselves, to protect our God-given rights, and to ensure the physical infrastructure we need to carry out our daily lives.

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).

Did not answer

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?

I am a true Constitutional Conservative, happily married wife, bonus mom & Nana, cowgirl, and a Registered Nurse. Election Integrity, Medical Freedom, Border Security, Agriculture Industry support, Parental Authority via School Choice, and ensuring the protection of our God given Constitutional Rights are priorities for me. We The People need to get the political establishment out of our everyday lives and increase OUR voices at the State and Federal levels of government! We need America First voices and fresh ideas in our Arizona State Senate and I am the Nurse for the job!


VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1

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?

Voter role laws need to be updated and not managed by a third party. Auditable paper ballots that are serialized and counterfeit proof. All tabulation machines should not allow third party access. No ballot harvesting should be permitted.


EQUALITY

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

Yes, thanks to the divisive rhetoric that has become the narrative of the Left, racism and the race hustlers who promote it are a threat to our domestic security. But until the media calls out those on the left who seek to divide us on the basis of race, it may not change for a while yet. The good news is that more and more minority voters and families are waking up and recognizing the scam for what it is.

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
