I have been through the war when I was little I saw people being brought in with body parts from Japan I remember the Red Cross would send out a cry for blood and offer meals to people. My father is a veteran and almost lost his life in war when his Barracks was blown up and I'm the daughter of a veteran who went to Vietnam twice to serve his country and when he was serving we also served without a father. I have known disaster and loss because I had a fire and was in a flood and I have volunteered for these types of organizations to help others and not told them about what happened to me. I'm a strong candidate and a hard fighter and I believe that I'm the best candidate for the 13th congressional district.

Is this your first time running for office? If not, please list which offices you have sought or held in the past.

This is my first time running for the congressional seat in Washington but I have worked on other bills for over 2 years and I have stopped bad barrels and I have supported good bill and I know how to make bad ones end and how to make good ones begin.

Why did you decide to run for office in 2020?

I was tired of the people being abused by those in Washington I was tired of the impeachment bull crap that cost us over $1000000 and I was tired of people wasting your money like water. I also wanted to balance our budget and secure the future of our children and their children and we could do this easily by defunding other countries and the wars that they are having that are not in the interest of Americans. We have already funded Afghanistan a war that has gone on over 20 years more than 20 trillion dollars. I also wanted to fight against abortion that we are funding at a trillion dollars a year and other countries by sending money a trillion dollars to another country so their women can have abortions that's a bunch of bull crap and I want to shut it down. I was also tired of our towns and cities not having good and proper working facilities and Roads and there was no excuse for this because we have money and get $67,000 for every American and the Americans are not getting this money because it's being shipped overseas to another country that is against us. I was tired of the wrongful actions and policies in Washington and I knew that I was a strong Defender and a strong fighter and I knew that I could fight the Democrats because I had and that I could bring good policy and fight bad policy cuz I had done this in the past. And I also wanted to protect the 2nd Amendment and I know that it is being eroded by the Democrats and I wanted to bring policy to stop this infringement and to prosecute states that are violating our constitutional rights regarding the Second Amendment. I wanted to fight for the 2nd Amendment at all cost because I do not want Americans eating dogs and selling their bodies for a piece of bread like they're doing in Venezuela when they took away the guns from the people and starve the people on top of that we must protect our Second Amendment because it protects us. I also wanted to fight for pro-life and for the American people in general and to rebuild America at you make America great again and she stopped all this impeachment bull crap and to tell if the people of America that they have someone who can defend them and to tell the 13 congressional district but I will defend them because Americans are first and should be put first.

What are your top three priorities, if elected?

I want to balance the budget by two funding all these places that are funded that are not in the interest of America to include the Afghan war which is cost us over 20 trillion dollars. I want to work on Healthcare and infrastructure and rebuilding the roads in the 13th congressional district and bringing Innovations to our district and to stop the abuse of money being wasted like water in Washington. I also want to make America great again and to rebuild America and to put Americans first and I want to reduce our taxes and to reduce the cost of prescription drugs where people are paying over $1,000 for prescription drugs when other countries are paying less and we are funding other countries it makes no sense to fund another country when the taxpayers are footing the bill and the time for release is now oh, and has been yesterday. I'm a strong Fighter for the Republic and I will defend us and our constitution so help me God.

Do you plan to host town hall meetings in the district during your first term in office? Why or why not?

Yes I plan to have offices and also Town meetings and I also plan to have a phone number and an address where I can be contacted 24 hours a day.

Reader submitted question: Would you support new federal campaign finance reform legislation? Please explain.

I support fairness in elections and I believe that everybody running should have the same amount of money so that the rich guy does not take the office simply because he is Rich. I also think the candidate should not have to pay $3,125 and I believe that there should be no cost to run so that all people can have a fair chance at running and that we should back them with a certain amount of funds so that we can see what they would do with the funds given to them these should beshould be tax-deductible donations offer to a campaign fund for all.

Do you support term limits? Please explain.

I support term limits and I would remind you that Thornberry your last representative run or ran on term limits and he decided to stay there 20 plus years that is not a term limit that is term life and we should have term limits and they should be set in stone so that people cannot abuse the office and stay in office for over 20 years, this is not what the founding fathers wanted for America and Americans should not want it either.

Would you vote for any legislation that would prohibit the manufacturing, sale, use, ownership or carrying of firearms? Why or why not?

I would never vote for anything related to the Second Amendment I'm against the blue laws and I believe that we should use the Espionage laws to enforce the Constitution and to stop states that are violating rights against the citizen and also in Virginia I believe that we should use the Espionage all against them because they want to attack the people and police officers and judges and businesses and parents and excetera and I support all these people and make these people criminal and blackball them if they do not enforce the taking of the guns and I believe that we should head for something against those that will take from us rather than those States who want to destroy our Constitution and I would fight hard against it. I'm for the Second Amendment and believe it should be fought under and by any means necessary.

Based on the information available to the public, would you have voted for the articles of impeachment against President Trump had you been in the House at the time? Please explain. 

These articles have cost Americans tons of money and it was not worth it it was a sham and it was not voted on and I believe that there should be rules and sanctions against those allowing things to happen that have not been voted on. I would not impeach a president and I believe that the Democrats should be in paste and remove for office for trying to do so illegally. This impeachment and these hoax Us by the Democrats ought to be paid for by the Democrats and they should pay the American people back for the 40 million dollars spent on the Mueller report and for the 40 million spent on the witnesses that Adam Schiff decided to bring you did not even know when the Constitution was formed but yet they were supposed to be experts and we're in Nancy Pelosi took from the Social Security Department without a vote these things should be illegal and they should be prosecuted and taken care of and yet the the monopolies and the organizations in Washington are not Prosecuting these criminals and it is time for relief for the American people we need to prosecute these people and put them in jail if they do the American people wrong and that is another agenda I will be working on. I would never impeach a president who have done so much for our country and who wanted to make America great again and who wanted to put Americans first like I do. And Hillary Clinton should be in prison she's a criminal and she sold our uranium and she had no right to do that we should make her pay back the money that she got for that uranium and she should be sanctioned and put in prison and never be allowed to run for office again and that includes a whole bunch of them. This corruption in Washington needs to be shut down.

With Rep. Thornberry leaving office, the district will be selecting its first new representative since 1995. Why do you believe you are the best equipped candidate to step into this role and represent all areas of the district, including rural communities and cities? 

Already know that I would save us more money than Thornberry did because he voted for the Afghan war that lasted over 20 years at a trillion dollars of your money. And we have no interest in this more and should not have been spending this type of money and he also voted for abortion and a trillion dollars of your money to go to other countries and our roads are not fixed in this community and the facts speak for themselves when I hit the pot hold 30 other people had hit the pothole as well and that was a cost of $500 to you and it is unfair for citizens to have to pay bills. Their representatives should have taken care of and these roads should have been taken care of a long time ago and that makes me better off the bat because I plan to do something about the roads and to bring new Innovations to this community and I have an issue at all with taking representative Thornsbury's place because he would off of the Democrats and I believe that he was compromised in the end.

How will you work to advocate for and defend the agriculture community in Washington, if elected?

I was a farmer and this is very important to me I would stress him for me because blue jeans will be made from him soon and other products will be made from him soon and I think that we need to get on board with it. Because I am an inventor and I know about inventions I know of a lot of products that will help our roads and will produce water for this community and that has been one of the issues in this community and I can work to overcome it.

Reader submitted question: What should the U.S. Congress do to reduce the national debt? Please explain.

They would stop funding other countries that we don't have an interest in like the Afghan war and like the abortions that they're spending a trillion dollars for in other countries that are not in the interest of Americans and that have gone on so long that shouldn't be an interest anymore and it is time to shut these down and that's what I plan to go to Washington for, I hope you vote for me.

Please explain what reforms Congress should enact, if any, regarding the healthcare system.

They could stop Congress from accepting lobbying money. The reasons why are drug cost or so expensive is Washington sold you out and the Democrats sold you out. They give drugs to other countries cheap and we pay for these as well in America. I would stop the Obamacare and Institute the plans that the president is wanting to Institute that would protect our Healthcare System and lower our drug cost and I would bring transparency in the industry because a bottle of aspirins does not cost $63 up to $125 for one pill and this is also issues with the health-related people. And if I were you I would not elect Physicians because they are on the take for medical Lobby money and we don't want this or need it. And anybody else can do the job just as well if not better and I can go to any office and I can fight hard for you and I plan to you if you elect me.

Do you support President Trump's proposal to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border? Please explain.

Absolutely oh, this illegal immigration problem and illegal voting cost from it and the criminals coming over here and the issues related to the wall in general needs to be protected and we need to defend Americans in America from the abuse that Sanctuary cities have done to them and we should allow them to be sued for not obeying the Constitution and for not evaluating by federal law and should enforce issues against states that are causing death and Exedra for their citizens over their wrongful policies against the Constitution.

How will you work to ensure constituents can actively communicate with you about the issues, if elected?

I plan to have offices over the district and a phone number where they can contact me 24/7 edit Address.

Are you supported by any political action committees? If so, please list your PAC endorsements.

The freedom caucus and the conservative party and pro-life and etcetera but I have not accepted any Pac money and have funded my campaign.

Why are you the best candidate for voters to support in the 13th District?

I'm the best candidate because I'm the most honest first of all the other ones have not been honest and I know them all. I'm a strong fighter and I have fought for the Republic and I can fight against the Democrats and I have fought against them and one. I have worked for policy that was unconstitutional two ended and I have worked for policy that was good for America to start it and begin it and I have over 30 organizations that I have helped that are not related to my job and I have also done more for the people in the 13th congressional district than any other candidate when I work to get rid of the unconstitutional surcharges that were crippling the people in the 13th congressional district by claiming that they had caused the accidents because they drove to get metal Uncle attention down the road and didn't have a license because the court never sent them a date to go to court and they had appeared and appeared in appeared over and over and when the court just let it go but then later on contacted them by telephone at someone else's address and said that was service I said it was not and that it was unconstitutional and they should not be so charged over this issue and I fought hard for two years and facts people and wrote people and call people and Exedra fighting and I have blessed the 13th congressional district and no one else that is running can say that. I am the only candidate that is actually help to get rid of a law that was hurting the 13th congressional district and I'm the only candidate that actually has helped anyone in the 13th congressional district be set free from an unconstitutional and I'm a strong Fighter for the Republic and we'll fight for your constitutional rights and our gun rights and against wrongful abuse of them trying to tear down our constitutional rights and our values and I will defend Texas values and I will defend the farmers and I will defend the citizens and I will defend the police officers and I will defend the First Responders and the veterans and work for all the citizens in this 13th congressional district if I were you I would vote for me. I also among other things plan to bring your money home rather than send it everywhere else I plan to make America great again and I plan to work with the president and I actually talked with him on accounts that I have with him and I would put you first rather than every other country that is being put over and above you already, you would come first.

I care about Justice and freedoms and I would work for equal access to our courts and Fair laws. I'm tired of people going to Congress and not reading the bills and passing them we just got took advantage of again when they decided to give the Disease Control a trillion dollars of your money to study gun and Etc we do not need our gun study we need our guns rights enforced and I would work hard for this I would not spend your money wastefully on reports that cost 40 million dollars. I would also fight against voter fraud and connect it to a social security number and not a driver's license where it could only be used one time to vote and no more this would stop voter fraud. I have marks for policies with the nuns in San Francisco and every other place and I have march to end abortion and I have volunteered at so many institutions and entities and organizations and I care about people I support the farmers because I was a farmer and I I've seen the war so I understand more and I would also defund Wars that were not in the interest of Americans I encourage you to vote for me to support my political agenda of Americans first without exception and to make America great again because that is basically the agenda of our president and and he supports these policies that I have. I'm the best person for the 13th congressional district I have more experience I have volunteered more than anyone and I have done something for the 13th congressional district that no one else has done I have gotten rid of a law that was against the 13th congressional district and that was not constitutional and I've worked long and hard with a few thank yous for this. I'm someone who can't fight the Democrats and I'm not somebody that just wants to hang around and get along I want somebody that wants to get something done and I want your interest to be protected and defended first. America's first political agenda no exceptions Americans come first and that's it unless we have an interest in some other country and their funding we should fund America First without exception.
