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
Every Life Is Worth Protecting. I am a steadfast advocate for life. As a minister and as a mother, I believes that every child, both born and unborn are created with purpose and dignity. Oklahoma must be a place that protects the innocent and holds fast to the belief that life is precious. I will work to see the total abolition of abortion in Oklahoma.
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.
Strongly 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?
I oppose the existence of a minimum wage and support the abolishment of the federal minimum wage.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I believe the greatest incentive for the creation of wealth lies in the respect for private property rights and the free enterprise system as the best and most efficient distribution of resources.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1)Full transparency and Public Accountability - Call for statewide audits, and make the reports easily accessed by the public. - Require agencies to justify budgets annually from zero (not just last year plus more). 2) Zero based budgeting (stop automatic increases) - tie funding to measurable outcomes 3) Eliminate Redundant agencies and programs - cut overlapping and duplications of agencies doing the same job under different names. - abolish agencies that span beyond the reach gov. should hold
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
Keep the government out of the church, not the church out of government.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Government should not mandate what services businesses provide.
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 is probably the closest fit to me. I believe we should protect the safety net for those who truly need it, but stop expanding gov. control over healthcare. Focus on lowering costs, increase transparency, and restoring competition so families can actually afford care. I don't believe gov. should run healthcare, but I also believe we need to protect whats necessary, fix whats broken and stop pretending that more gov is the answer to rising costs.
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
Oklahoma needs to put a stop to the Chinese Communist Party and put an end to foreign land ownership.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Relationship with all of our allies are important. But I believe America should always put Americans first.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
All persons should enter the county legally and we should not be protecting illegal actions of undocumented people.
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.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My faith is rooted in the One True Living God and the authority of His Word. I believe Jesus Christ is Lord, my Redeemer, and the source of true freedom. Scripture is not meant to be reshaped by culture, but to shape how we live; with truth, courage, and conviction. I value obedience over comfort, faithfulness over popularity, and service over self. My calling is to lead with integrity, disciple the next generation, and stand boldly for what is right, trusting God to guide every step I take.
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?
Oil and Natural Gas
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?
A free society cannot exist without the rule of law. The criminal justice system exists for one primary purpose, to uphold justice under the Constitution, protect innocent life and property and ensure that lawful behavior is safeguarded while unlawful behavior is met with real and consistent consequences. Justice is not negotiable. Public safety is not optional. And the Constitution must remain the foundation of our criminal justice system.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
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?
I support constitutional carry and the government does not grant that right. The right to keep and bear arms belongs to the people, and any restriction must be narrowly focused on those who have already demonstrated they are a danger to themselves or others and/or any convicted violent felon.
