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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
None
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
There should be no govt-mandated minimum wage. A core of the U.S. Constitution is to secure individual liberty which includes voluntarily contract of our own labor. Wages should be set by mutual agreement between employer & employee.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
(1) Total transparency in every contract and budget line item, (2) Aggressive audits (I hope to serve on the appropriations committee) to root out fraud, abuse, and pork, and (3) Deregulation plus shrinking the size and scope of government so we live within our means and protect Arizona taxpayers first.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Government cannot establish an official religion or prohibit the free exercise of faith. The constitution protects the church from government; not the other way around. My platform of Faith, Family, and Freedom and actions are guided by Jesus Christ.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
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: Medicaid and Medicare should remain available for those who truly need them, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. I support limited government and free-market healthcare that puts patients first. Long-term, I believe we should move toward D — phasing out all taxpayer-funded healthcare — but we cannot forsake seniors who have already paid into Medicare their entire working lives. We must honor those commitments while transitioning to personal responsibility, private options.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
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. Most important to me is the religious connection; as a Christian guided by Jesus Christ, I stand firmly with Israel as part of my Faith, Family, and Freedom beliefs. The United States’ relationship with Israel is vitally important. We share mutual values of democracy, freedom, and human rights. Israel is a key strategic ally in the Middle East, and our two nations have worked together since Israel’s founding on intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, and military training.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
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
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Catholic devoted Christian and Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. My faith is grounded in biblical truths, traditional family values, and the love of Jesus. My husband is Baptist, and we attend Christ’s Church of the Valley in Mesa, AZ when home. While traveling we attend Catholic, Baptist, and nondenominational churches. I trust in God my savior, father, son and holy spirit. I am a living testimony of God’s grace; rising from being bed bound and a wheelchair through prayer, determination, care and faith, I now share hope and the power of individual freedom and conservative Christian values. God is so good, all the time.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
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?
SMRs (Small Modular Reactors) are the most reliable energy source for Arizona’s growing electricity demand. They offer safe, clean, 24/7 baseload power, jobs, and energy independence without subsidies. Until then, coal and natural gas power.
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
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.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
Prioritize serious crimes, use evidence-based tools, and ensure due process. Proportionate retribution, deterrence, incapacitation of dangerous offenders, targeted rehabilitation, and restoration where feasible.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
Overbroad surveillance, mandatory backdoors, or vague "exploitation" rules risk privacy erosion and mission creep. Enforcement + deterrence works better than regulation alone; tech + parents should handle much of the filtering.
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Most gun violence comes from prohibited persons, gangs, and repeat offenders; not lawful owners. We should aggressively enforce existing laws through prosecution, policing, youth education, and addressing root causes. Bar only violent felons, domestic abusers, and adjudicated mentally ill from possession via background checks. Law-abiding gun owners, who deter criminals and defend themselves and others, should be left alone.
