- "I support eliminating unnecessary Late Term Abortions, Partial Birth Abortions, and Post Birth Abortions.

- "We have the highest income taxes and gas taxes in the country. The total we spend on property taxes are pretty high as well. We need to push the state to lower these taxes and not add new ones." (www.watersforcongress.com)

- "I support your right to own a gun and will not support any legislation to take those rights away from you. I am okay with legislation to ensure a background check is completed before you can buy a gun. I also feel that you should be given a full denial letter as to why you are denied and if possible, what you can do to remedy the denial so you can be approved. In some cases, people should never be approved to own a gun." (www.watersforcongress.com)

- " I support a pathway to citizenship once we seal up the border and can control the flow of immigration into this country and we overhaul the immigration policy. I do not think these children should be sent back to their home country at this point in their lives but I also donât think this is a practice we should continue and the only way to ensure this is by sealing the border and keeping illegal immigration to a bare minimum."
