QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I believe there are circumstances where this agonizing decision belongs to a woman, her family, and her doctor, not politicians. I support exceptions for rape, incest, and to protect the life and health of the mother. Those are not easy cases, and they deserve compassion, not a government mandate.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Neutral
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
That's a federal question, and I'll leave federal enforcement decisions to federal officials.
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I believe this is the question to be asked is: why are Nevadans struggling even when they're working? Because the cost of living has outpaced wages at every level. The solution is to lower costs, not mandate wages that small businesses can't sustain.
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.
Eliminate fraud, improve inefficient processes, combine overlapping departments, and streamline legislation that creates undue administrative requirements
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means the government can't establish an official state religion or force you to worship a certain way. It does not mean faith has to be silent in the public square.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
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
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
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 - Israel is one of America's most important and most reliable allies. Our relationship with her is rooted in shared values, shared security interests, and a moral obligation that transcends politics. Israel is a democracy surrounded by adversaries who have repeatedly pledged to destroy it. When America stands with Israel, we're not just supporting one country, we're sending a message to every authoritarian regime and every terrorist organization that the US keeps its commitments.
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.
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.
Choose not to answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Choose not to answer
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Neutral
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My faith is the foundation of who I am. I believe in God, and I believe that our rights as Americans come from Him, not from government. My values are simple: treat others the way you want to be treated, work hard, take care of your family and your neighbors, and leave things better than you found them. Those principles guide every decision I make, as a mother, a businesswoman, and as a candidate.
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.
Choose not to answer
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.
Neutral
What I know for certain is that Nevadans need reliable, affordable energy, and I'm not willing to let Washington or Sacramento dictate how we get it. I'm not going to sign up for policies that make electricity more expensive for Nevada families based on political agendas coming out of other states.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
The most reliable energy source is the one you control, and Nevada doesn't control enough of its own power. Nuclear is the most reliable baseload source we have. Diesel and natural gas are the reliable bridge. Solar and wind have a smaller role.
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?
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?
The goal of the criminal justice system is to protect victims and keep communities safe.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
I agree completely. In the United States, the law of the land is the U.S. Constitution, and that's not negotiable. Our constitutional framework, with its protections for free speech, due process, equal protection, and religious freedom, is what makes this country work. No religious legal code, foreign law, or outside framework should supplant it.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
The restrictions we already have. What we don't need are unconstitutional laws that punish law-abiding Nevadans while doing nothing to stop criminals.
