Never. That is government overreach.

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.

IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

Currently, the border is wide open. We must close the southern border so we know who is coming into the U.S

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?

Immigrates who go through the rightful process to become a U.S citizen.

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

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.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition

Agree

It is not the government's right to decide marriage decisions and rights.

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 strong Christian wife and mother. Everyone in Colorado, has their set of values. I love my values. I love my beliefs. I want them to guide my life. Not run yours. Let me ask you this, when did Jesus and the Apostles ever force non-Christians to live like Christians? Never. I’m running to be a public servant. Not a public tyrant.
