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

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

Disagree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

A pregnancy should only end by intervention when the intervention is treating a medical condition in which the loss of pregnancy is an unintentional consequence of medical treatment.


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

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

How to handle taxes is something that needs to be looked at very closely. Both the fair tax and flat tax interest me. Tax laws are too complicated and numerous. What I don't believe is that the citizens of this country should be fearful of government agencies, like the IRS.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

What should be the relationship between the church and the state?

The state is meant to protect our God-given rights. While the government is not to estalish a religion for all, it is meant to protect the ability to freely practice one's chosen religion.


HEALTHCARE

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

Absolutely 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.

Most likely C. There needs to be transparency in healthcare costs. What is being charged versus what is profit by healthcare providers and facilities.


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) The role of our government is to protect our God-given rights and national interests. If those are not being threatened we should stay out of others' conflicts.

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.

Neutral

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?

Stop letting Islamic terrorist cross our border illegally.


IMMIGRATION

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

Strongly Agree

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?

I believe we may need to stop the majority of even legal immigration, temporarily, with exception to those who are already in the process of legal immigration and with children being adopted internationally. We need to handle the people that have flooded in illegally first.


VALUES

Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes in non-discrimination laws.

Agree

I don't believe anyone should be excluded from employment or Constitutional and civil rights due to factors such as sexual orientation or gender identity, as employers should also have their constitutional and civil rights protected.

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 Catholic. I believe that we are to treat everyone with respect and dignity even when we do not agree. We are all sinners and Jesus died for our salvation.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Neutral

There are certain circumstances in which it is not possible to provide photo ID.

What laws would you propose to change present voting practices?

In person voting only with exception to absentee ballots needed by those such as the military and people who are unable to go to a polling place due to illness. Voting must be done on election day and employers are required to give their employees time to vote that day.


EQUALITY

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Absolutely but not in the way it has been presented. It has been the job of the establishment to divide people and see each other as enemies for decades. This has created more racism and anger between groups that are told that they are hated by other groups. Until people stop playing identity politics, people will always be painted as the bad guys and violence will still be encouraged.


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

I support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources.

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


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?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

N/A

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 the spouse of an active duty Naval Officer who is in a lawsuit against the DoD. I am not afraid to fight against corruption in this matter or any other. Our country needs to return to the Constitution and Congress needs to reclaim its intended power. I have dedicated my life to raising loving, smart and educated children and was blessed and fortunate enough to be able to do so for 15 years. In order to make sure my kids and future generations inherit the country I believed I was bringing them into I must accept that it is time to listen to God's calling and serve them and our nation in a role that can help reclaim liberty and justice for all.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Police officers should be personally immune from prosecution for conduct consistent with departmental policy (qualified immunity) while on duty.

Neutral

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?

Only violent criminals should have restrictions on gun ownership.

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

Disagree

Only a person knowingly participating in criminal activity should be able to be sued.
