Expand all | Collapse all

I am a lifelong conservative activist, wife, mom, Grammy, seminary graduate and patriot. I am willing to ask real questions to get to the heart of why D.C. is in such bad shape. I am led by my faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Our government is lying to us. We need to question the narrative.
  • We cannot continue doing politics as usual, sending the same type of representation yet expecting different results.
  • We need someone who will stand for our values and preserve Freedom, while we still can.
Protection of life from conception to natural death.

Government spending audits and waste reduction.
Protecting powers constitutionally reserved to the States. End federal overreach regardless of the Branch.

Support our heroes: military, veterans, and first responders. We owe a debt of gratitude for their service.
The Bible
It is the living word of God
Rich Men North of Richmond, by Oliver Anthony
Debt default, collapse of the dollar and financial standing internationally.
Ability to lawfully process and integrate those wishing to live and work in the United States
The Constitution sets term limits with frequent elections. But due to incumbency bias and voter behavior, I would be in support of term limits legislation.
In the best interests of the common good.

Campaign website

McGowan’s campaign website stated the following:

#WAR
The times are changing and the writing is on the wall

Between the border invasion, corruption regarding Ukraine, trouble in Israel and China’s impending conflict with Taiwan, the world is on fire and soon to be on our own front porch. How long before something pops off here? The Speaker of the House recently said that we have 2 million getaways in the country now, thanks to no border control.

2 million getaways!
Likely 16+ million illegals have entered since January 2021.

It’s beyond criminal. It’s treason!
More wars will happen, while we here at home are spread thin with a castrated military.

Is our military mission-ready? By no means. They can’t make recruiting quotas and they’ve been far too busy concentrating on gender reassignments and the current culture war to prepare or be ready as our last line of defense. Woke Generals need to be shown to the door. We’ve also castrated our military with gene altering mandates, as most common sense members bailed during the culling. Those who remained are now health compromised.

It’s been said but needs repeating:

We are at #WAR

Covid was the first wave as a bioengineered weapon…

Then the mandated jab added to that, for the second wave…

Simultaneously the murderous hospital protocols demanded by three letter agencies was another aspect of this strange war. When your government kills you, it’s called democide.

If we leave this evil unchecked and dismiss the magnitude of it, we will face our own reckoning.

Over 1.2 million Americans were murdered in America’s hospitals by a macabre protocol, which can’t be called human error.

This is crimes against humanity. And it continues to happen.

I watched it personally. On January 7, 2022 my Vietnam Veteran, larger-than-life retired fireman father was murdered in a hospital called Mercy.

I intend to avenge his and all other needless deaths by calling for Justice for those who perpetrated this horrific massacre.

Fauci et al. We’re coming for you.

We are in a multi-pronged war.

Our major issues to address:

  • Invasion at the border: without a border we are not a country
  • Execute a massive deportation effort immediately
  • Restore our military to its former glory
  • Repeal the Smith Mundt Modernization Act of 2012
  • Repeal Obamacare (remember how they promised to do that?)
  • Balance the budget and expose excessive and blatant fraud
  • Get USA out of the WHO & UN and reject the radical ideals from WEF
  • Defund Federal Agencies who wrongly target American Patriots
  • Divest from China and halt laundering of funds through Ukraine lies
  • Elections must be protected
  • Big Tech censorship must be addressed and halted
  • Abolish the Department of Education
  • Investigate Covid origins, grift and fraud, murders in hospitals, injection injuries, conflicts of interest
  • Protect our children from indoctrination, trafficking and drugs
  • Farming, ranching protection and pure food security
  • Impeach Traitors like Mayorkas, Garland and Wray
  • Tell the Government “NO!”[2]
