I believe life begins at conception. I am a pro-life mother of three and I am endorsed by New Jersey Right to Life PAC. I have been endorsed by them in my previous elections to the Board of Sussex County Commissioners (where I currently serve). The life of the mother is a circumstance that should be allowable. There is a debate amongst fellow pro-lifers regarding allowances for rape and incest. The two major legislative initiatives in New Jersey to legally protect the lives of the unborn, backed by pro-life activists, do make allowances for all three circumstances. The biggest threat to the lives of the unborn in New Jersey is Governor Murphy, the Democrat majority in the legislature, and their radical abortion agenda. The Democrats enacted a radical new law which has codified the legalization of abortion right up to the moment of birth. The Democrats have also provided taxpayer funding of abortion and Planned Parenthood, forced health insurance consumers to cover abortions, and have allowed unlicensed healthcare workers to perform abortions.

New Jersey has the highest property taxes in the nation, averaging over $9,490. The State has some of the highest income and corporate taxes in the country putting us at a competitive disadvantage in trying to attract new businesses and jobs while keeping families and current employers here. If elected to the Assembly, I will sponsor legislation on tax reduction, government transparency and the elimination of wasteful spending in order to lower property taxes as well as state taxes as well. My running mate for State Senate, Assemblyman Parker Space, has made property taxes a priority –Assemblyman Space sponsors over 100 bills to address property taxes. New Jersey has the most unequal school funding in the country. I will fight for fair school funding for children in rural and suburban school districts. I support ACR-54, which proposes an amendment to Constitution specifying a method of providing for the maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of free public schools and allocating all income tax receipts to school districts and A-961, which establishes a formula for the distribution of State aid to school districts. The Fair School Funding plan which would eliminate the court’s meddling in school funding once and for all and bring back precious state resources throughout New Jersey. Enact judicial reforms to keep the state Supreme Court from raising our property taxes through their decisions on school funding (Abbott). These include retention elections and giving the Legislature and/or the voters the power to overturn decisions. I would also bring back the full property tax deduction for all New Jersey homeowners (A-2061). I support convening a special session of the Legislature to lower property taxes (ACR-14). Concerning State Taxes, I support: A2059, the Marriage Penalty Elimination Act to lower state income taxes for married couples. A2058, indexing the state income tax for inflation to prevent “bracket creep” which artificially increases income taxes. A2899, eliminates $375 minimum Corporation Business Tax on New Jersey S corporations with New Jersey gross receipts of less than $100,000. A735, eliminates the New Jersey inheritance tax. A1146, reduce New Jersey’s Corporate Business Tax rate. A1032, allows state income tax deduction for charitable contributions to New Jersey-based charitable organizations. A1657, reduces state income tax rates by ten percent over three years.

New Jersey has a spending problem. Governor Murphy’s budget for the FY2024 fiscal year is 7% larger than the previous year’s budget, and it’s 57% bigger than the prior administration's final budget. That's an unsustainable spending increase in just six years of $20 billion. We need to reduce the size of State Government in New Jersey by eliminating wasteful and duplicative programs. We can start by defunding Planned Parenthood and programs and spending geared towards illegal immigration. $1.2 billion in pork projects in targeted Democrat legislative districts are in this year’s budget. They should be eliminated at once. We should thoroughly review the operations of State government, from top to bottom with our State Comptroller and State Auditor to make cuts and efficiencies. I would support the enactment of the following to help further identify budget cuts: A2053, Establishes Red Tape Review Commission. A2056, Authorizes State Auditor to conduct cost-benefit analyses of certain programs and initiatives. A4161, Establishes Government Efficiency and Regulatory Review Commission.

I am opposed to A and B. Medicare is entirely a federal program and State legislators have little to no say over it. Conversely, Medicaid is a joint federal-state program and as State Legislators we have much meaningful input. I do not support Medicaid funding abortions and would support a constitutional amendment prohibiting such. I believe we need to seek alternatives to Medicaid and Charity Care (emergency rooms) to treat our poor and working poor for routine health care in New Jersey, such as empowering a statewide network of free health clinics operated by volunteer health professionals in exchange for coverage of the medical malpractice insurance for their private practices. Since 2018, the Democrats in New Jersey have enacted a series of state-level ObamaCare laws, such as the individual mandate and other mandates on consumers, businesses, doctors, some religious employers, and health insurance companies. I support the repeal of such laws.

Under no circumstance should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations.

We need to control our borders. It is no secret that in order for fringe terrorist groups to grow and thrive, they need to be well-funded, and cutting off their source of funding is key to eliminating radical terrorism. And lastly and most obvious, support our ally, Israel. Israel’s maintenance of defensible borders that preserve peace and promote stability in the region is a necessity.

Having a proper vetting program will ensure that legal immigration will benefit American taxpayers, and that terrorists and criminals, those with infectious diseases, and those who will unfairly compete for jobs are prevented from entering the United States. The United States has every right to limit the number of legal immigrants per year as well as to take whatever steps to ensure that those who are entering legally are fully-vetted. New Jersey should mandate E-Verify to ensure that only those who are legally permitted to work in the United States can be employed here. If elected to the Assembly, I will work with organizations such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and NumbersUSA to take action to strengthen New Jersey laws to combat illegal immigration.

Under no circumstance should a religious entity be forced by the government to alter its marriage doctrine. Unelected courts should never be able to make a major cultural and societal change such as this. They were legislating from the bench.

We have laws that protect us from those who wish to commit harm, bodily or otherwise. Additionally, New Jersey already has tough anti-hate crime laws which punish those who commit bodily harm against others based on race.

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.

Government needs to live within its means and do only what it is allowed to do based on our US Constitution and New Jersey Constitution as seen through the lens of Declaration of Independence. The size and scope of government needs to be reduced. The smaller, the better!

The Second Amendment is an unalienable right, which the Supreme Court affirmed last year, and I will not support restrictions on law-abiding citizens. As the victim of a gun crime and now a gun owner, law-abiding citizens must have the right to keep and bear arms. Violent felons and illegal immigrants should not be allowed to own and possess firearms; that is already the law. New Jersey needs to bring its draconian gun laws in line with the decisions from the Supreme Court.
