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.

Disagree

There needs to be open communication between the district and state legislators to address the needs of the district, as well as how to reduce the tax burden of the district tax payers.

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

I'm not in favor of it. This would be a huge burden on tax payers, especially the middle class.


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?

Oversight over the Superintendent and ensure tax dollars are used efficiently to maximize the quality of education. Ultimately, the Board is accountable to the community for the educational product the district delivers.

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

Day to day authority lies with the Superintendent and the educators, but ultimate responsibility lies with the Board in their oversight function, including oversight of how resouces are used. It should be a partnership with parents. Parents should have input and there should be transparency as to what their children are being taught.

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

Parents should never be restricted from speaking at school board meetings as long as they are peaceful.

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

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

Strongly Agree

Absolutely. The principles of equality, opportunity for all and freedom of speech.

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

I agree parents should have to opt-in versus having to opt-out.

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

Strongly Agree

We need to be cautious about federal dollars that come with strings attached. Those that come with agendas and impose standards and values that are different than the local community.

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

We should teach accurately our American history including about slavery and about the civil rights movement. We should not embrace curricula that seeks to divide our children according to race, create resentment and teach our children to hate our country.

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

Agree. Children are a local districts' students but they are the parents' children first.


VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and believe that all men are created equal in the image and likeness of God.

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

We have to defend the opportunities for women and competiveness of women sports based on bilogical sex.

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

Parents. Parents decide the appropriate age.

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

Did not answer

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?

A critical objective is that students be encouraged and challenged to meet their full educational potential. In today's environment my highest priority is to ensure that parents 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.
