1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected?

Our rights were given to us by our creator and should not be infringed upon by our government or activists. Our country was founded on the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, establishing our Republic as the beacon of righteousness and truth.

As a mom, I understand the importance of these rights, they are the foundation of our families and our faith. But now, our cherished family values and faith are under attack from every direction. Extremists want to tear down our faith, our family structure, and prevent us from raising our children with Christian values. I will uphold our values and fight to restore religious liberty. We must protect family values and empower parents to raise their children through faith in God.

I am running to uphold the laws of God, our family values, and the very foundation of our Republic.

2. Can you share the three most important issues facing your district/state, and how do you envision working collaboratively to find solutions that benefit everyone?

We need to stop government overreach. Big government is trying to regulate every aspect of our lives. From extremists controlling our education system, and the infringement upon our religious freedom to destroying our economy with endless regulations, we have had enough. I will work with other REAL conservatives to hold the government accountable while passing laws to severely curtail the authority of the federal government. Our founding fathers believed that the local community, parents, and local officials should have the final say. It's time to stop big government and restore individual responsibility. I will work with our conservative partners in Congress to stop the endless spending spree that is bankrupting our children's future. I will cut the fat from federal programs that spend millions of our tax dollars are wasteful projects.
The erosion of our religious liberties and the rights of parents cannot be allowed. Across the country, we are witnessing our government, at all levels, trample on the rights of parents. We must pass laws that set parents rights above all else. We must pass laws protecting religious freedom, so the government can’t tell you who and how to worship. I will work to pass a comprehensive parents bill of rights and a comprehensive bill of rights that protects religious freedoms.
We must protect our country by securing our border. Our government has allowed dangerous drugs and career criminals to walk across our border and into our communities. Across this great Republic, we have seen the devastation caused by the chaos at the border. Protecting our children, our families, and our communities is not negotiable. Crime and drugs are taking over our streets, and we have had enough here in Texas. I will immediately work with my partners in Congress to pass legislation that secures our border once and for all. We cannot allow this invasion to continue. We need to build the wall, stop the criminals, and fight back against the drug cartels.
