What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

I absolutely treasure what our forefathers presented in the Constitution of the United States. As an educator, I could not wait to teach this portion of social studies with our students.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I am an adoptee and value the life my birth mother chose over the option of abortion. I struggle with the thougth of abortion being allowed in any circumstance - I personally could not even chose my life over my unborn child's life if it came down to that. However, if a medical decision comes down to either the life of a child or the mother for someone else, I don't know if it is right for me or the law to decide which life is more valued...this would be a personal decision to be made for the family and medical team affected directly.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

My Christian values and beliefs are what drives me to where I am today. It is because of my faith as to why I want to continue to serve people - be it through my work as a Lutheran school teacher, a volunteer, mission trip team member, or my service to the community through public office.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I have always lived a conservative life on all fronts - Economically, from growing up in a household where my deaf parents spent their entire lives learning to live within their means (I learned how to make the most of SPAM and government cheese when my dad lost his job when the meat packing plant closed down) to working my way through college - even spending one term taking a full load of classes, working two jobs which added up to 40 hrs/week, and working as a part-time nanny. Socially - I grew up with a German heritage background. Etc - I am fiscally conservative and put this to practice as a Trustee when it comes to taxpayer's dollars.

Additional comment from candidate:

I truly believe God has placed me in this position to run for State Representative. I, along with many Republicans in District 69, have felt the establishment continues to ignore us and allow empty rhetoric from the present representative leadership to control our voice. This is why I absolutely refuse to accept any PAC, special interest, or large corporation donations for this campaign. This grassroots campaign truly is the voice of District 69 - it does not just belong to me - it belongs to the people...the ones who I want to represent. District 69 is a home-grown conservative area and it is only because of their donations and support that I am running to represent them. I have always stated that my God comes first, then my family. After that, it is the constituents. I refuse to allow the puppeteer-ploys which takes place in our government to define me or my campaign.
