OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
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

I believe it is a priority to eliminate taxpayer funding for elective abortion here and abroad and redirect federal funding of Planned Parenthood to health centers not involved in abortion. Abortion providers should not rely on taxpayer funding.

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

Chemical abortion poses serious health risks to women. Chemical abortion process a woman typically takes two pills: mifepristone and misoprostol. To protect women’s health and safety, the federal government and state and federal policymakers should, at a minimum, ensure that policies are in place to robustly regulate chemical abortion drugs and provide for enforcement actions against bad actors. Requiring transparency about where Danco and GenBioPro’s U.S.-bound abortion pills are manufactured.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Elective abortion should not be allowed, we should however address the language used to mislead people. There should be laws of transparency that define and protect Miscarriage Management. Abortions suffocate, starve, poison, or dismember living human fetuses and embryos.

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?

Yes, we should make pro-life policies a priority at the federal level. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, for example, would protect women and unborn children from gruesome late-term abortions performed after 20 weeks. The Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act, prohibits an abortionist from dismembering a living unborn child in utero and extracting the baby’s body parts one piece at a time. Treating a baby who is born alive after a failed abortion with the same care that any other newborn baby would receive should not be a matter of controversy. We need to stop Obamacare’s expansion of funding for abortion coverage. Life is valuable and we should resist the push for physician-assisted suicide (PAS), this is an idea that endangers the weak & vulnerable, corrupts the practice of medicine and the doctor–patient relationship, compromises the family and intergenerational commitments, and betrays human dignity and equality before the law.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

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

The Constitution does not prevent people of faith from being active in politics. Rather, it’s meant to protect and encourage our civic engagement. We should study the history of our nation so we can be aware. For Jefferson's wall between church and state was meant to serve a greater goal -- to promote and preserve religious liberty for Americans of all faiths.

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

Disagree

The moral and religious beliefs of individuals and organizations should be respected in law. The first amendment to the United States constitution begins, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …”. This means people shouldn’t have to go against their core values and beliefs in order to conform to culture or government. That also means providing services that violate both their moral and religious beliefs.


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. We need to focus on our country and get things back in order, when our closest allies need our help we will be there but we have to be ready. We have to prepare ourselves and be organized.

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

Agree

We must defend American economic interests from the many threats posed by China, such as intellectual property theft and espionage.

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

Israel, the only genuine democracy in the Middle East, shares important values and interests with the United States. It faces significant security threats from Iran, as well as from Arab states and extremist movements that have refused to accept its right to exist. Those are our concerns our nation should be our concern, esspecially when protests involve the burning of our nation's flag and the call for our destruction and the call for the deaths of americans.

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

Miltary readiness is not a focus as it used to be before for our country. Our warriors’ ability to do their job is being undermined by leaders more interested in woke indoctrination and partisan politics than warfighting readiness. A call to action is needed to increase public awareness about the severity of the situation. Most Americans remain unaware that their military is literally shrinking by the day. We need to change our message during recruitment and highlight the importance of joining.


HEALTHCARE

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

According to the Supreme court for large businesses, none. I think this circumstance can apply for goverment and employers. We have to do more research on vaccine injury and find the reasons why these events happened.

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.

B, and I believe we should divert tacpayer funding from planned parrenthood and direct it to pregnancy life centers.


ECONOMY

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

Ensure permanency of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (2017) & expand expensing. The TCJA simplified tax processes, lowered individual & business taxes, & boosted global competitiveness. Americans benefit from reduced taxes & higher wages.

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

Strongly Agree

I agree, I worked hard to pay off the majority of my student loans and sought out employments that would help me pay them off. I went from 59K down to 15k from 2018-2022, before I decided to go back to study for my Master's. I worked hard, paid my rent, paid my bills and daily living. We are capable of making sacrifices now to ensure our future, we have to actually say no to alot of things and prioritize the things in our lives that truly matter. We are responsible for our future, no one else.

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

No

ESG stands for Environmental Social Governance, and it's a classification system that companies, maybe even your place of employment, are using to push an agenda. Think of it like a credit score. If you don't score high enough on a meter, you could be canceled. Others make decisions and you don't have the opportunity to defend against it. ESG policies are destroying America’s small businesses. I've learned so much about this trending issue, they have a campaign that can teach you.


IMMIGRATION

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

Strongly Agree

We should implement effective border security. Addressing border security and human trafficking requires securing borders, enhancing cooperation with Mexican & Latin American governments. Collaboration through task forces can reduce instability, dismantling strongholds of coyotes & cartels in sex & labor trafficking. Granting judges summary judgment and contempt authority is crucial. U.S. immigration policy should keep the American people safe, prosperous, and free.

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

Our current legal immigration system is outdated and fails both immigrants and Americans. Prioritizing “merit”—the ways immigrants can contribute to the country—over distant family connections, like many other countries do, helps ensure immigrants can thrive in our country while maximizing the benefits of immigration for Americans.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Agree

I am a product of school choice, it provided me the opportunity to grow in public schools and later advance in charter schools. I was able to learn how to negotiate the terms of my scholarship and was able to attend one of the top ten private universities in the nation in 2013. School choice provides students a chance to learn more than academic achievement, it helps them grow in a way that strengthens their natural strengths and challenge their natural doubts.

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

Neutral

Effective education policy includes returning authority to the states and empowering parents with the opportunity to choose a safe and effective education for their children. I am in favor of policy that strengthens our children and their future.


CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.

Strongly Disagree

We cannot redirect funds from police departments during a time period when police departments cannot afford to equip their own officers with narcans and other gear they need to keep both them and our people safe. We need to help officers have more opportunity to take necessary trainings that will help them deescalate situations in the field and help train them to recognize concerns of safety.


2ND AMENDMENT

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

Legal gun ownership is not the problem, illegal gun ownership is a concern against the public. We should focus on efforts that helps law enforcment get illegal firearms off the streets away. I remember back in 2017, a homeowner in Houston defended his home with an AR-15. And again in a taqueria, a customer with a legal firearm shot down a criminal who was holding others at gunpoint. Legal gun ownership is not a threat to public safety.


JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY

The Supreme Court should be reformed to include more seats.

Strongly Disagree

Expanding the Supreme Court has nothing to do with its partisan balance at any given time, or some imaginary connection to the number of appeals court circuits. Nor is it connected to the Supreme Court’s capacity to do its work. They do the work effectively.


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?

Government's task is to articulate the rights and duties of citizens and protect them from threats. It should be limited, that's why we have checks and balances in places to ensure the citizens can practice their freedoms without threats from big goverment. When the government takes on more responsibilities, it takes away the loyalty and trust people used to have in other relationships and local groups. If the federal government starts handling moral duties, it can weaken our society.

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


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.

Agree

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

Strongly Agree

10 years ago I was a college student learning about new terms in sociology and terms like MAPS, minor attracted persons. And like my college advisor I was disgusted. Children are our most vulnerable members of society and they are the most valuable assets we should protect.

Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

Disagree

Taxpayer funding should not provide gender transition services.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a God fearing young woman who is unafraid to share the gospel and how her values in policy stem from God and his word. I have defended the bible and have advocated for policy that defends the unborn and for online safety for children. I believe in the holy spirit and I believe in the power behind prayer. I have helped different organizations because I believed in the cause they fought for, I have faith that the race I am in will highlight the ongoing issues we face in CD 29. God's children are not for sale, we need to fight and erradicate human trafficking, we need to secure our nation's borders.


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree

If i need a photo ID to purchase something expensive, or to prove who I am for employement purposes. I can definitely present my photo identification when I vote. If we are having issues with attaining photo identification, then that should be addressed if it is an issue. Because the solution to this issue should not be ignoring it and permitting folks to vote without legal photo identification. We cannot be negligent, we owe it to the people of our nation to be responsible.

The Electoral College should be abolished.

Disagree

The Electoral College preserves the principles of federalism that are essential to our constitutional republic. By allocating electoral votes by the total number of representatives in a given state, the Electoral College allows more states to have an impact on the choice of the President.


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

I have advocated for save girl's sports in Texas and I plan to continue to voice my support on the federal level. We cannot permit biological males to participate and injure women in sports, in bathrooms & locker rooms and sorority houses, women shelters or prisions. This is unaccetable.


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?

Nuclear power could be the clean energy source we need, it produces alot more energy output for a small physical footprint compared to the damage caused by solar farms. This is worth researching and learning more about to help ensure our futures.
