QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Rape, Incest, Life of the mother

Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

Supreme Court rightly decided this is a state decision. There should be no federal funding for abortion.


ECONOMY

What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?

Lower taxes for individuals and businesses, repeal the death tax, reduce regulation, stop printing so much money and stop the wasteful government spending.

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

No


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The term Separation of church and state does not exist in our U.S. Constitution. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion. The left is abusing and misinterpreting this language to prevent the free exercise and individual rights of those who practice a religion.

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

Strongly Disagree


HEALTHCARE

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

Under no circumstances

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) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

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

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?

Israel is on the frontline against Islamic extremists that want to wipe both Israel and America off the face off the map. They are an extremely valuable military, technology, and trade partner. They are one of our major allies.

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?

This question is personal to me as a mother of a U.S. Space Force Guardian. While other military powers are embracing strength and masculinity, the US Military is sadly being turned into a woke liberal social experiment. When Covid was happening our military was mandated to vaccinate which caused some of our best and brightest to make the difficult decision to leave the military thus weakening our military and recruitment and retention.


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?

We need to completely secure our border, this is an emergency situation where we should shut down all immigration until the situation is under control. Once that is complete, we should then put in place a careful vetting process for legal immigration ONLY.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

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

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.

Strongly Agree

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Strongly Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a devout Christian, I’ve accepted my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My faith guides me in all aspects of my life, including my work in public service. I strongly believe that 'faith without works is dead,' which is why my commitment to my beliefs extends beyond personal practice to my professional duties. Our nation's founders were guided by Judeo-Christian principles, and I see it as my responsibility to uphold these values in government.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Strongly Disagree


EQUALITY

I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.

Strongly Disagree

Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Agree


ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.

Strongly Disagree

What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?

Oil and Shale gas and I'm proudly endorsed by the Oil & Gas Workers Association.


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?

Very Conservative

What do you think is the general purpose of government?

Protect Property Rights, Individual Rights, and Defend from Foreign Threats

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.

No

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.

No


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Strongly Disagree


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree


2ND AMENDMENT

What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?

We need to restrict states from violating American's Second Amendment Rights. I am the only Candidate in my race with an A rating from Gun Owners of America and I'm the only candidate in my race with a Preferred+* rating from the Nevada Firearms Coalition, the highest rating possible.
