Have you run for elected office before? I have not.

Please list highlights of your civic involvement: My civic involvement began as a college student when I volunteered for Victory Junction — a camp for children with special needs. From there, as I became interested in public service, I found every opportunity to work in and around government at all levels.

What are the three issues that you see as most important to your constituents and what will you do to address them?

Addressing inflation and the disastrous Biden economy, protecting parental rights and ensuring public safety.

What action by Congress would you support to help reduce inflation?

The first step is to rein in the bloated and overreaching federal bureaucracy that continuously abuses taxpayers’ trust and dollars. Secondly, we must cut government spending. Politicians have been saying this for decades and voters are looking for leaders to actually keep their word.

What federal legislation would you support on abortion?

Other: Ban abortion with exceptions for the life of the mother.

Should members of Congress be banned from owning and trading individual stocks?

Yes.

What changes in U.S. immigration enforcement and restrictions would you support?

In order to truly reform our immigration system, we must temporarily close our border (without limiting the use of visas) in order to create a system that can properly vet individuals and welcome them into the United States where they can integrate and become part of our society.

What legislation would you support to make Americans safer from crime? What legislation would you support to make mass shootings less likely?

First and foremost, we must remove any regulations on the Second Amendment. Misguided gun control does not keep guns out of the hands of criminals. It keeps guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. Secondly, we must properly fund and resource law enforcement so that they can effectively protect and serve our communities. By doing these two things we can ensure a more safe society.

What, if anything, does Congress need to investigate?

Joe and Hunter Biden’s business dealings and general corruption.

Do you accept the results of the 2020 presidential election?

Maybe.
