She'll fight to keep our borders safe and our streets. Make sure our laws are enforced and America is a land of opportunity for ALL! She has a passion for children and for the middle class.

Safety is more than just secure borders, it's fighting crime, discrimination, illegal drugs and attacks on faith and freedom. It's also about fighting government corruption - which robs the citizens of their rights and opportunities - and stacks
the deck against them, in favor of special interests.
