Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
During the majority of my adult life, I've been affiliated with the military. I swore an oath to defend, peers were/are my brothers and sisters in arms. Politics were a non-issue, but since I have had to combat the exploitation and indoctrination of children, liberal agendas and threats to our freedoms and way-of-life, I've become more conservative than I ever was before. In order to work with children in the Catholic Church, you must be EIM certified. Children & the elderly are the most exploited groups. I'm pro-life, taught RE & Confirmation classes, married 25 yrs, raised our children Catholic. I'm grateful & blessed beyond measure and I know I must walk through the door God has just opened, which places me in this race for LT Governor.
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Parents are granted God-given rights for their child’s upbringing, health and educational formation. Also, studies show that success is enhanced by parental engagement. Texas Education Code Chapter 26 directly correlates with our parental rights and responsibilities. Therefore, a school must educate, not indoctrinate, and always respect and request parental consent. In turn, parental involvement is welcome and fostered, commonplace.
I support the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
Did not answer
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
Holy matrimony is between a man and a woman. El matrimonio es entre un hombre y una mujer.
Mental health conditions such as anorexia and gender dysphoria need to be treated, not affirmed.
Did not answer
School library books that have literary value, as determined by experts, should be exempt from obscenity laws.
Did not answer

Para poder votar, debes ser ciudadano estadounidense y presentar una tarjeta de identificación con foto emitida por el gobierno del estado o Estados Unidos. ¡Punto!
