QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Strongly Agree

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

School districts should be able to use taxpayer money for lobbying the state legislature.

Strongly Disagree

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?

The less government funding and oversight the better.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.

Strongly Agree

School districts should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Strongly Agree

Students should not be allowed to pray in school.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

What is the function of the local school board?

To govern the school district and provide local oversight of education.

Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?

While the State sets the TEKS, the School Board retains the power to set policy and dedicate resources for implementing the curricula.

When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?

Some board meetings comments need to be relevant to the agenda. If it's an open agenda (as half of school board meetings are) then comments can address any topic as long the speech isn't slanderous or hate speech.

Please list in order the following priorities in relation to the role of a K-12 public school (omitting any that do not apply): Mathematics, Information Technology, Science, Political Activism, Personal Finances, Gender Identity, Physical Fitness, American History, Critical Race Theory, Language Arts, Art & Music, Vocational Learning, Sexuality, Foreign Language, Social Emotional Learning

Mathematics, Language Arts, American History, Science, Information Technology, Personal Finances, Art & Music, Vocational Learning, Foreign Language, Physical Fitness,

American civics education should emphasize our nation's founding principles of liberty and equality.

Strongly Agree

Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.

Strongly Agree

The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.

Strongly Agree

I support the teaching of curricula (such as the 1619 Project, No Place for Hate, Second Step, etc.) that emphasizes slavery and racism as the foundation of American history.

Strongly Disagree

Parents are the ultimate authority in their child’s education and should be able to freely pursue whatever educational options they deem best for their child.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a practicing Catholic and believe that conservative Christian values should be protected from a culture of secularism that is trying to erase them.

I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.

Strongly Disagree

Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?

Parents should be the first ones to teach this subject to children. Any school education should be limited to age-appropriate grades and be opt-in.

If you support the teaching of Sex Ed, please answer the following question: Sexual education should include these topics (list all that apply and add your own, if needed) -- Physical and emotional health outcomes; contraceptive methods; consent; abstinence; sexual orientation and gender identity; human anatomy/the reproductive system; abortion methods and side effects; stages of pregnancy and fetal development; sex acts and pleasures of sex

Physical and emotional health outcomes; contraceptive methods; consent; abstinence; human anatomy/the reproductive system; stages of pregnancy and fetal development;

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.

Strongly Agree

No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent.

Strongly Agree

No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.

Strongly Agree


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


ABOUT YOU

Which of the 11 objectives specified in the Texas Education Code is your highest priority?

The first one: Parents will be full partners with educators in the education of their children.

Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

No

A candidate's personal moral values should not be relevant when considering a candidacy for elective office.

Strongly Disagree

When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and immigration, which of the following best describes you overall?

Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I have 30+ years of business management experience and have trained and built teams. I'm also a third-generation college teacher. As a current Trustee, I serve on Communications, Marketing and Technology Action Teams. I'm running for re-election after winning last November in a Special Election held after a trustee vacated his spot early.


2ND AMENDMENT

Teachers who are licensed to carry should be allowed to carry guns at school.

Choose not to answer


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?

Forcing children to get a vaccine for which no long-term safety data exists is immoral. Vaccines are a personal decision and schools should not be mandating them.

I support mask mandates.

Strongly Disagree

Masks should always be optional.
