OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I am a Child Human Trafficking Survivor (1983-2023) who was forced to have an abortion over thirty years ago that nearly took my life. This was done in a clinic in Dayton Ohio, the Dr caused me to almost bleed to death. My experience is why I am Pro-Life but I also realize that there are circumstances that woman have no control over and this must be allowed in emergencies however, I want a bill passed where any woman harmed in any abortion will be provided remedy and allowed to use for damages.
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.
Strongly Agree
As I explained above, I know what it is to suffer harm by any abortion and believe that all Clinics, Doctors, Nurses, and all involved in these drugs must be held accountable if and when they cause harm to any woman at any time she uses these drugs and the entire medical profession must be held to a high standard of care, woman have the right to SAFE healthcare and must be afforded the right to legal action and remedy if and when they are harmed during any and all abortion procedures.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
This organization did nothing to remedy the deadly harm I suffered when Human Traffickers forced me to have an abortion. The clinic and doctor that was negligent and caused my harm and almost my life was funded this way and yet I was forced to pay all medical bills to survive. This is unacceptable and unhealthy to all woman and since they are allowing women to suffer harm and be injured they must NOT receive taxpayer funds or any funds until they truly protect woman's health.
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
We as a nation should be using all aid and funding for mental health treatment and advances in mental health programs first before we just start throwing aid for someone to simply end their life. I fully understand that there might be special circumstances that might be deemed appropriate but we should try all other avenues first.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
I am for free enterprise and believe in our right as Americans to our private property, freedoms, and believe that these are essential elements for a productive economic system. I support our American way of life, the American dream, and small government and want to see a strong economy return for all in this country.
What is your position on the minimum wage?
I understand because the state of our economy we need higher minimum wage but there are limits to this people should NOT be making more with minimum wage than someone that works hard and gets college degrees makes.
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?
No
We as a nation should not be using a rating system as criteria to decide when and where to invest public monies, this should decided by elected officials and the tax payers of our nation, not technology and a rating system. Using this type of system could have very unfair and unequal outcomes for our tax=payers, societies, and the public as a whole.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Under what circumstances can government close churches?
I believe in all religious freedoms and do not believe under ANY circumstances can or should government be closing ANY church ever. The United States Constitution grants all Americans the right to freedom of religion.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
The Constitution of the United States guarantees us all the right to freedom of religion and rights granted to us by the creator and NO individuals or businesses should ever be forced or required to provide any service, act in any manner, by fear or force that will violate and force that person to go against their religious and moral beliefs. There must always be room for respect and discussion to protect everyone's religious and moral beliefs instead of trying to take a religious right away.
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.
(B) is my answer here, I also feel we must protect Medicaid and Medicare as well especially for the poor and elderly.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
There are NO circumstances where any government, school, or employer should EVER be allowed to force or required anyone to be vaccinated. We must have freedom to choose for ourselves.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
The Chinese Communist Party and the fact that we have NO secure border and people from all over the world just coming into our country is posing a serious military, terrorist, cyber, global and every national security threat to each and every American and our families today like never before in our nations history.
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Absolutely, the United States relationship with Israel is important for many reasons such as economic growth, they are and always have been our closest and most important ally for stability in the middle east. We depend on each other for trade, technical and military support and fighting terrorism. We must always protect our important relationship with Israel always.
IMMIGRATION
The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
Strongly Agree
The United States should do much more to secure the southern border and all of our nations borders immediately.
EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
Just like I support all woman's rights in this country, I absolutely support all parents rights to choose whatever is best for their children and the state should fund education allowing funding and dollars to follow the child through whatever programs the parents choose for that child whether they decide on private, public or home school it is the parents rights to decide and the state must allow the funding to follow the child through the programs.
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
I was forced into Human Trafficking 1983 at 8years old, groomed so I am all to familiar with abuses facing our nations children today and once elected into office am the only candidate qualified and am the expert in this area and will pass laws that will protect parents and all children from grooming and all forms of abuse and harm. Our job as legislators is to protect and defend our districts and all who live in these districts. We must protect ALL children from abuses of any form always.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Absolutely always, I support parents rights to make any and all decisions for their minor children in whatever way they deem necessary for the protection of their children.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Strongly Disagree
Tax-Payer funds should NOT be used to provide this service, gender transition services are NOT necessity's we as Tax-Payers should NOT be forced to cover others medical expenses that are not medical emergencies and are procedures they choose or want to have. These individuals must fund these procedures on their own,out of their own pocket, just as we are made to do for cosmetic procedures, not through Tax-Payer funds.
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 agree with this. I am also fully aware that today the Supreme Court of the United States has allowed and made legal same-sex marriage and we have to respect that ruling even if we do not ourselves choose to be in same sex marriages, we all have to respect one another's choices and religious beliefs even if they differ from our own. My belief that marriage is between one man and one woman is no excuse to be unkind or wish harm on another because they may believe differently.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I have very strong religious and moral values while always respecting others rights to their own religious freedoms and beliefs as well. I believe in unity not division and will always stand up and fight for others being bullied or harmed. I am not afraid to stand up and fight for what is right and against what is wrong.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely NOT. People must always show photo ID and be American citizens in order to vote and honestly we should be going back to paper ballets with all the corruption and dishonesty that has occurred in our elections. The machines can be hacked which is not allowing for Voter integrity and fair, honest and secure elections in our state.
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Strongly Disagree
I learned my opponent voted No on this when it was brought in the legislative session but intentionally allowed it to pass, it comes up again for vote and this cannot be allowed to pass this time. I guarantee if I am elected as your new legislator I will not only Vote NO but will fight against this until it does NOT pass this time. As legislators we must protect all voting rights and our electoral college and all voting integrity of our great State and should NOT join this compact.
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Absolutely NOT. The United States has security risks and it is not racism, from someone that is biracial and comes from a very diverse family and background I reject all who try to use the race card and attempt to divide us as a nation through race baiting of any type. We are one nation under God and we are one race "The Human Race".
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Strongly Disagree
Absolutely Not, I reject CRT, and view this theory as "Racist" and I do not support nor do I see my nation as Racist this is a theory that certain individuals and Marxist came up with to divide us as a people and a nation and it is time we stand up and fight against all this false, racist, radical theories such as CRT and all other theories that try to divide us as a people and a nation, we must unite not divide. Again, we are one race "The Human Race" One America All Americans.
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
Absolutely NOT. We must stand up as women for ALL woman's rights not half woman's rights and protect our spaces. There is a simple solution to this problem. Create trans-sports for both trans-males & females and leave biological female and male sports alone this way everyone has a fair and equal opportunity to advance and no one is feeling oppressed or excluded. You cannot have equality when taking away the equal rights of biological women, that then becomes exclusion not equality for women.
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
Closest to my views are (A) & (C).
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
I believe there are more than one reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for energy, coal, drilling oil, the windmills are a waste of space and money and are not a reliable source of energy as once thought.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
Never, NO.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
We all witnessed the Weaponizing of our judicial system & courts against former president Trump. We in the Human Trafficking World are also falsely convicted of crimes and courts used against us for crimes we have never committed. Judges and lawyers that purchase us as trafficking slaves plead us guilty and use the judicial system to harm us. This is unethical & criminal and laws must be in place to decriminalize all victims and survivors of Human Trafficking and all wrongs made right.
What do you think is the general purpose of government?
I think and believe the general purpose of government is to SERVE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, IS TO SERVE AND WORK FOR THE PEOPLE NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
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?
Lean Conservative
I always considered myself a Conservative/ Democrat, a Ronald Reagan error Democrat. I spent my life in slavery and a victim/survivor of Human Trafficking so I am not sure what is one or the other today. I can honestly state because of my experience and as an outsider looking in, I would say as Voters today Do not rely on look at the letter by a name but look at the candidate themselves, their views and actions and if you want them representing you & your family & will they fight for your values
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
I support redirecting funds from police departments to community programs.
Strongly Disagree
I support finding better areas to remove funding from NOT taking away from our fire and police departments to fund community programs. We can as a nation start by putting America first, keeping the billions we are sending overseas to other countries, we should be keeping this money here and using it for our police departments and our community programs. The money we have sent to Ukraine is plenty to fund both our police departments and community programs without having to redirect any funds.
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I fully support the second amendment and No restrictions on gun ownership, as long as the gun owners are law abiding and responsible gun owners. The restrictions must be on the criminals and non law abiding citizens.
Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?
Yes
Until all these shootings and high crimes that are happening stop,and for the protection and safety of our children absolutely teachers should be allowed to responsibly carry guns at school. This will deter criminals from crime when they know they are at risk themselves and that teachers are armed and can defend the children and themselves.
