QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
The current system of government funding of public education from K-12 is the right solution, we just need to better utilize our resources. Contributing more taxpayer money to expanded programs (Pre-K and college) is unlikely to yield improved outcomes and more likely to lead to waste.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Agree
The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.
Disagree
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Strongly Agree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
EDUCATION
Every state should mandate K-12 standardized tests and the use of teaching software which aligns with Common Core standards.
Strongly Disagree
Common Core standards are a method for the federal government to exert itself into state affairs. They are an overstep and serve as a way for officials with little accountability to the Texas parents and citizens at large to force ideals upon our children.
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.
Agree
Parents ultimately hold the responsibility for the development and wellbeing of their children.
Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.
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
CRT or any versions of its rebrand should not be taught. Full stop.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
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
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Born-again follower of Jesus Christ.
No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent.
Agree
ABOUT YOU
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Did not answer
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
What books have had the most profound impact on your view of life?
The Bible, The Wealth of Nations
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am a practical and successful organizational leader who is in this race to stand up for kids. I believe in Parental Choice and giving our children the best opportunity to create a prosperous life for themselves. The pandemic has placed many of our children behind in learning. Fresh perspectives, not the status quo are required to best invest in our children's futures.
2ND AMENDMENT
Teachers who are licensed to carry should be allowed to carry guns at school.
Agree
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Do you support mandatory vaccinations for children attending public school?
No, I believe it is a personal choice that parents make for their children.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
This is a huge violation of civil liberties. Additionally, wearing a piece of cloth over your face will not stop viruses which are 10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria even. The mandates are an overstep for control and have become a virtue signal for the left. Finally, in the context of schools, we have completely failed to factor in the drag masks have on the social development of children. This will likely have long-lasting effects on future generations.
