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.
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Under Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court decided that the issue of abortion should be left to the states. Alabama and its people have spoken. In Alabama, it is unlawful for an abortion to be performed unless it is deemed absolutely necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk to 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?
Did not answer
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Individuals should be free to worship as they wish, and religion should not be infringed upon by the government.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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.
Did not answer
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?
Yes. It is vital that we support Israel and allow Israel to protect itself and determine the best course of action for eliminating Palestinian radicalism.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
Two things: (i) lack of confidence in Commander-in-Chief Biden and (ii) use of the military as a canvas for liberal social experiments by Democrat administrations (Biden and Obama).
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.
Did not answer
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Inflation is the hidden tax that affects us all. Over the past three years, we have seen the harmful effects of Biden’s policies. As your Congresswoman for District Two, I will always vote to curb government spending.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree

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