OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Public funding to promote such a heinous act is egregious.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
ECONOMY
Redistribution of income is needed to lessen the gap between the wealthy and working classes.
Strongly Disagree
The government should cut spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Strongly Agree
The size and scope of the federal government has grown beyond the constitutional priorities envisioned by the Founding Fathers. We need to reduce government’s overreach and return power to the people. My first action for cutting spending would be nondefense discretionary programs.
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
10% flat tax for corporation as well as individual. Obviously this is to be worked toward.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
Religious freedom prevents the cultural majority from using the power of the state to impose their beliefs on others. This protects everyone—religious and nonreligious alike—from the government becoming so powerful that it can tell people what to think and how to act. During COVID there were many Casinos and liquor stores considered essential.....yet houses of worship which provide counseling, comradery as well as availability to pray with others was not???? Who have we become?
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Religious freedom is more than the “freedom to worship” at a synagogue, church, or mosque. It means people shouldn’t have to go against their core values and beliefs in order to conform to culture or government.
What should be the relationship between the church and the state?
There should be no organized denomination influence state. The first of the Bill of Rights says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That wording is the result of lessons learned from the dictatorial Holy Roman Empire and King Henry VIII’s power grab in the 1534 Act of Supremacy. The point of the First Amendment was not to rid the country of religion but to ensure that the federal government did not select a religion and give it exclusive support. Americans are free to worship as they please.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
none
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
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
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
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Secure our borders to ensure the protection from those entering our country who have not been vetted.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
FOLLOW THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE!!!! When is it acceptable for Congress to be allowed to break laws? Build the wall.
State and federal funds shall be denied to any public or private entity, such as a sanctuary city, that is not in compliance with immigration laws.
Strongly Agree
Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
FOLLOW THE LAWS WE HAVE, this provides guidance for this question!
VALUES
Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.
Strongly Disagree
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 God loving, God fearing Evangelical Christian who believes our Founding Fathers took great time, thought and engaged in much prayer to determine how to articulate our Bill of Rights in order to provide us a free Nation. I believe we are a blessed Nation and risk those blessings being taken from us as we fall deeper into Socialism and Marxism.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?
Local governments may not send unsolicited ballots, only the voter or the voter’s immediate family may return a ballot, requires those who fill out a ballot to provide their driver’s license number or last 4 of social in addition to signing the ballot. Make the deadline to request a ballot ten weeks prior to the election as opposed to 180 days.
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Tribal Sovereignty is totally different since they were marched across the land with the promise of having a homeland for their tribe.
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. It is not lost on me our Nation has had a checkered past with racism, but no Nation has worked so hard to correct their wrongs. We are the party of Lincoln.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.
Strongly Agree
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

Wife of a career United States Marine. Passionate about our Military, Law Enforcement/First Responders. The 2nd Amendment supports the 1st Amendment and we need both for a free Nation.

I want to work with my constituents to ensure jobs for our children and grandchildren I will expand Hate Crime legislation to include "Occupational Targeting" to ensure our prosecutors can seek accountability at full force for those who target our Law Enforcement . I will seek to restore Energy independence as well as border security and will strive to prep the field for President Trump to return and Make America Great Again.
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
Qualifier being "conduct consistent with departmental policy".
I support redirecting funds from police departments to mental health and community programs.
Strongly Disagree
