I grew up on a farm driving tractors and throwing hay bales onto trailers. I have been married for thirty years, I have four sons in their twenties (two home schooled) and one daughter by marriage. My husband and I lead worship at our Air Force Base. We were foster parents for five years. I have been room mom, PTO President, and an Assistant Teacher for a behavior section in a High School. I have testified on bills, worked elections, signed petitions, helped with campaigns, been very active with various groups that are for upholding our Constitution and defending our freedoms.
  • I am 100% pro-life.
  • I am for our Second Amendment
  • I am for our Constitution and our First Amendment rights.
I am for protecting life from Conception to natural death. I am for Constitutional Carry. I am for lower taxes, less regulation, and limited government. We need to protect our religious freedom and free speech. I am for enforcing our border laws. I am for the tax payer. I am for private property rights. I am for Criminal Justice Reform and for our legislation to be Constitutional. So overall I am for freedom, free markets and working hard.
I recommend Hillsdale College free online courses.
Honesty, morals, faith, and hard work.
I am honest and will stand strong for our freedoms.
Legislators are to uphold the Constitution and our freedoms by not legislating big government or to much regulation. We should do what is best for all the people to pursue life and liberty and not cater to special interest.
My first job where I was paid was at The Sonic Drive In. I worked there for a year or two until I was hired at J. C. Penny's for a little more per hour.
The Bible because it is full of hope, encouragement, and I love the Lord.
The House has many more to debate the issues. The Senate and the House help to keep balances and checks.
Our founders stated it well that it is best to have legislators that have worked, raised families, and paid their bills and have life experience.
My state of Texas is growing and the socialist mindset is being taught to our kids so we need to educate our kids about how this country was founded. We need to protect our state from those people who want the government to regulate and control our basic freedoms like religious freedom, free speech, and the right to defend ourselves. We need to value life. Taxes are very high here and we need to stop the over spending and hold our government responsible for where our tax dollars are being spent. We have seen a rise on crime and drugs and we need to enforce our border laws.
I do not think the governor should dictate and set the agenda for legislation. The ideal relationship would be for the state legislature to legislate according to the Constitution and for the governor to make sure they do not pass anything that is unconstitutional.
It is good to be able to debate the issues. We have to separate that they can be a great person and have bad policy ideas.
Yes, I want to be a part of the life committees, religious freedom, lower taxes, Second Amendment rights, First Amendment rights, Border Security, education, and private property rights.
Yes, I am interested.
Not sure about that yet.
People being taxed out of their homes or businesses.
