OTHER INFORMATION
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?
To provide every student with a free and public education from grades K-12 only and not interfere with a parent's fundamental right to make decisions concerning the upbringing, education, and care of the parent's child.
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?
To be a representative of the people. To ensure that the school district is being fiscally responsible, transparent in all of its dealings, and to consider the advice of the superintendent, but ask questions in order to make informed decisions of his/her requests. Also, to be accountable to the community.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The state should present the curriculum. The district should review the curriculum and then present it to the school board for approval. The school board should seek guidance from the community and ask questions. Any parent should have the opportunity to review curriculum and opt their child out or make suggestions for suitable curriculum.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Never, unless they are being violent.
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, Physical Fitness, Information Technology, Vocational Learning, Personal Finances, Art & Music, Foreign Language, Health/Sex education
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 Christian and have a strong faith in God. I currently do not belong to any one organized religion.
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?
Ultimately the parent, but the school can supplement with appropriate content as it relates to physiology and safety. I feel middle schoolers are 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
Human anatomy/the reproductive system, stages of pregnancy and fetal development, abstinence, consent, contraceptive methods
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
No school official should be involved without parental consent.
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.
No
A candidate's personal moral values should not be relevant when considering a candidacy for elective office.
Disagree
Qualifications of a candidate to perform the duties of the job should be the primary consideration, especially in a non-partisan position.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
My campaign is focused on consistency among schools, providing an equal and quality education for all students, and transparency and accountability with the budget, administration, and elected officials. I will advocate for compliance and measurable results with 504 plans and IEPs, as I am the parent of two children with disabilities who understands the struggles many families face. I also feel we must provide educators with the necessary resources, expand mental health resources, and ensure we have a safe and secure learning environment for all. Community outreach and collaboration with other districts in the surrounding areas is also important.

OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?
Parental rights and medical and religious freedoms should always be honored.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
