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.
Neutral
In general, lobbying shouldn't be required when schools have a high degree of local control. In the event that a high degree of local control ceases, I'd retain the right to do what is required for the benefit of the district and the taxpayer public.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Locally collected funds should be allocated to the district to the maximum degree practicable.
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?
The local school board retains broad and exclusive power and a duty to govern and oversee the management of the public schools within its district and thus should represent parents (and ostensibly the students) on all matters related to running the local education system. The school Board should set policy, hire the Superintendent, and ensure quality education is delivered to the students as paid for by the local taxpayer.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Curriculum establishment and curricula resource allocation should be a function of the board.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Parents should be restricted in very few instances. Such instances may include personal attacks which are unsubstantiated, uncorroborated and/or violate law, political statements related to a political campaign/candidacy.
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
Language Arts, Mathematics, American History, Science, Foreign Language, Art & Music, Physical Fitness, Personal Finances, Information Technology, Vocational Learning
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 am a life-long Christian. I believe in the serving the people with honesty, integrity and impartiality.
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
There are two biological genders. Sexual orientation/identification/preference does not change one's gender.
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
The parents are ultimately responsible for teaching sexual education. However, there is value in the school system partnering with parents for scientific based sexual education. For example, Human Anatomy and the reproductive system is completely appropriate.
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
human anatomy/the reproductive system; stages of pregnancy and fetal development; consent; abstinence; contraceptive methods
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
While we do practice Freedom of Religion and Separation of Church and State, we are undoubtedly founded on the basis of and a recognition of God as well as the principles of Christianity. Christianity is strongly rooted in love and provides a moral framework
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
Voting rights are established by the law. As such, US Citizens retain rights and privileges to vote. A valid voter ID, presented in person, along with a secured and verified chain of custody of ballots provides an accountable process that is required to protect all voters' rights under the law. I do however support absentee voting measures under select circumstances (i.e. military) when it can be done on a secure and accountable basis.
ABOUT YOU
Which of the 11 objectives specified in the Texas Education Code is your highest priority?
Parental involvement is the number one objective for good reason. It is my highest priority.
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?
Very Conservative
