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.
Strongly Disagree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I am a strong believer in free-market education where parents, teachers, and students make their own choices in regards to education, rather than relying on the government to make all of their choices for them.
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 school board has a dual role: To represent the concerns of the citizens, taxpayers and parents to the school administrators, and to represent the needs of the students and school district to the citizens, taxpayers and parents of the community. As well as setting the policies, goals and objectives for the district – and holding the superintendent responsible for implementing the policies and achieving the goals. The school board does not operate the district on a day-to-day basis; that is the job of the superintendent, who is the district's chief executive.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Curriculum selection should be determined first by state laws and DOE guidelines. School districts should then be able to select curriculum and resources from a predetermined set of standards, provided by the state DOE.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Parents should be given an opportunity to speak at every public meeting.
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
American History, Language Arts, Mathematics, Personal Finances, Information Technology, Science, Art & Music, Vocational Learning, Physical Fitness, Foreign Language
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 child of the most high God, a follower of Christ, and a Constitutionalist.
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
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
The only people that should be responsible for teaching sexual education in a classroom setting are health teachers starting in 7th grade, and ONLY after parent permission has been obtained. Anything outside of anatomy, reproduction and abstinence, should be left up to the family to be discussed at an age the family chooses.
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
Physical and emotional health outcomes, human anatomy/the reproductive system, stages of pregnancy and fetal development, and abstinence.
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
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or been penalized in either civil or criminal court for sexual misconduct? If so, please explain.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am the best candidate in District 1, and I have what it takes to make the changes that parents want to see in our district. Now, more than ever, we need leaders that are strong and courageous, and not afraid to make tough decisions. I have been fighting this fight for more than a year, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. So if you’re looking for the best choice in District 1, look no further, and vote for me on August 23rd, thank you
