I am the daughter of an Army retired decorated Vietnam veteran; raised in Germany. I am an Army retired war veteran; mother of two beautiful children and gifted with six grandchildren. My son is an Iraq war Marine Corps veteran. My six siblings all served in the military. My strong morals, disciplined character, and strong work ethics were inherited from my parents-married 66 years. I am a woman of godly principles. My Christian worldview guides my beliefs regarding moral issues. I will take the foundational Bible principles when addressing divisive issues while in office. I will always take the side of Christian worldview on moral issues while demonstrating compassion for all voters. My ultimate political alliance is to those persons, policies, and platforms that best represent the Christian world views-God's perspective. I am a woman of great faith. I will always place the voters before myself and do what I can for their freedom and well-being. My family and years of military experience have taught me that leadership means service; service to God, nation, family, and community. I am here to stand for justice for all citizens: unborn babies, children, parents, seniors, and foreigners that enter the U.S. legally.

I strongly value life inside and outside the womb. What God creates-we as humans must protect. Government officials must protect life. I will not downgrade, reduce, dishonor, or attack life. The sanctity of life must be recognized. We must deal with life as God deals with life. The legalization on abortion is an attack on God. There must be laws regarding the dignity of life outside the womb. Slavery, racism, police brutality, mistreating the poor and homeless are all forms of reducing and removing dignity. Reducing their dignity is a means to attack God. Legalizing abortion or the act of abortion is called post-life abortion. The person is either aborting by the length of their existence or the well-being of their existence.Our border policy is no longer pro-American. We must restore border control and an immigration policy that works for all current and future American citizens. Our children and grandchildren are facing a frightful future. Our Southern borders must be restablished-secured. All American citizens welcome every honest immigrant no matter from the nation they emigrated-provided that they fulfill in good faith the duties of American citizenship. There is an established, orderly, legal process in becoming an American citizen. Inviting illegal immigrants without any form of vetting is not only dangerous for American citizens, but also adds a huge burden, as they are forcibly required to pay higher taxes to sustain these illegal immigrants.I desire that American citizens shut off their televisions (media using propaganda) and spend more time researching historical facts regarding all issues facing America today. The radical left are shutting down individuals that contradict their ideologies. Debates are no longer regarding ideas, but that of hatred and bigotry. Their narrative is that any conservative person is motivated by hate, and they are only motivated by nobel ideas of justice and fairness. Their agenda is based fully on propaganda and mis/bad information in order to indoctrinate feable minds with their socialist-communist ideologies. Their fight to pass hate speech legislation was to shut down conservative ideas. Their goal is to shame conservatives into silence.
