Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Death to the mother; diagnosis of birth defects that cause pain and suffering to the fetus in-utero and death is imminent upon birth as a result; in some cases of documented rape or child molestation and incest.

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

The knowledge that the concentration of Power in one entity would lead to tyranny. Mankind can be, by nature; selfish, greedy, prideful and power hungry. Our Constitution established Government to protect and serve the people only. Not to control the people.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I know God and abide by his Word. All of mankind has faults and has fallen short of His glory, however; that is why He sent His son Christ Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. I do not believe in judging others, that is Christ Jesus' responsibility, therefore; I treat others as I would want to be treated and each day as I am blessed with new Grace, so shall I grant to others. I do not believe in picking and choosing from the Bible. A sin is a sin. My foundation is one of integrity, values and morality. I lead by example with kindness, patience, compassion, understanding and humility.

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.

Additional comment from candidate:

As a citizen, a wife, a mother and more importantly, a strong Republican Congresswoman, I will fight to bring back sustainable economic viability, self-esteem and personal responsibility to a community that for over 20 years has remained forgotten and ignored. So please join me and help be apart of the creation of a solid foundation built with values, morals and integrity for all of our families and communities to be lifted up on. So that we may rise to our fullest potential and be a beacon of not only hope, but an example of success for Houston and the World we live in.
