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
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 believe all funding should remain within the states. When the federal government gets involved they dictate stipulations in order to receive their funding. This is why we’re seeing CRT and SEL being part of the required curriculum today. And also, the last two years the government was paying money - known as ESSER funds - to schools that would enforce Covid PCR testing, contact tracing and keeping our kids masked.
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
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never. No government, school or employer should ever be allowed to require anyone to put anything into their bodies. Especially, if it’s experimental and not FDA approved.
EDUCATION
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Never. Parents have the fundamental right to be the voices for their children. And they deserve to be heard always. The real question is, when should the school board be restricted from their duties as our elected officials when they stop listening to the parents?
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, Vocational, Finance, Foreign Language, Art & Music, Physical Fitness, Information Technology. Health/Nutrition isn’t on this list. But it should also be a priority. And Politics should be taught. Just not influenced.
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.
Disagree
I don’t believe Sex Ed or SEL should be taught or offered as courses in schools. This is where parents need to step in and inform their children in a more private setting on these topics.
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
What is the function of the local school board?
Research and approve the curriculum. Budget and allocate funds. Listen to issues and concerns of the parents, teachers and students. And then make a true effort to resolve those issues.
Do you support the National School Board Association's characterization of parents who speak out at school board meetings as "domestic terrorists"?
No
Strongly Disagree.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The parents. Our current school board is not responsible enough to do so at this time.
Who has the ultimate right to control the education of children in public schools? (a) parents (b) teachers (c)school boards.
A. Parents
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe in the one true God; our Heavenly Father and Creator. I believe we were all created in God’s image. And that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. I believe that we should abide by the Ten Commandments and to know the difference between right and wrong. I’m for Pro-life. I don’t believe children should be being taught sexual orientation or gender identity at at young age. I also don’t believe they should be learning theory of social justice based on race (CRT) according to the federal government. I think we need to focus on equality NOT equity.
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 parents should educate their children on this subject and determine the appropriate age to do so.
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
Schools should not be teaching Sex Ed.
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
EQUALITY
I support the teaching that an individual, solely by virtue of his or her race, is inherently racist, whether consciously or unconsciously.
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.
Strongly Disagree
They absolutely should. And they should be forthcoming and transparent about their moral values.
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Myself and two others were instrumental in serving the school board with “Letters of Intent” and filing claims against their insurances’ surety bonds.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I’m very transparent regarding my beliefs and values. But if there’s any questions voters would like to know I’m more than happy to answer.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?
In 1962, the childhood vaccine schedule included 3 vaccines. In 1978, when I was born, there were 7 vaccines required on the childhood vaccine schedule. Now, in 2022, there’s 54 vaccines required by the time a child is 18 years of age. The CDC nor FDA have ever provided safety studies or trials to prove that these are safe and effective. And more and more are added to the schedule each year. Meanwhile autism and autoimmune disease have increased exponentially over the years. In short, schools should not ever require vaccinations to attend school. Furthermore, parents need to be provided informed consent of ingredients and potential side effects of each vaccine.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
Never. Masks do not protect or prevent infection from a virus. They do however cause harm to your immune system. And there are peer reviewed studies that prove such. Not only are they potentially harmful to your health but they also impair a child’s ability to learn.
