Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When in agreeance by the woman carrying.

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Agree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
It's the only way to assure a more just system.

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.

Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.
Disagree
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.
Agree
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.

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

I believe in the divinity that is Mother Earth, the Universe, and our connection as living beings with all living beings.
