QUESTIONNAIRE*

*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Strongly Agree

I am Pro-Life.

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

I am Pro-Life


ECONOMY

School districts should be able to use taxpayer money for lobbying the state legislature.

Disagree

Taxpayers money should be used for designated purpose. I would like to see funding for education be used to educate students, facilities, and staff.

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

I am okay with funding for Pre-K through high school, because all students need some Pre-K support. Funding for students in grades K-12th is vital. I believe that every high school graduate should continue to educate themselves beyond high school whether it is through a traditional four-year college, a two year technical school or apprenticeship, however taxpayers should not be required to support such decisions.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.

Strongly Agree

I am a believer in Christ.

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

I believe in biblical principles.

Students should not be allowed to pray in school.

Strongly Disagree

I believe prayer can change people and things, so why not pray.


HEALTHCARE

Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?

It is his or her choice. The government should never make a choice for people.


EDUCATION

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

Never, unless there is threat to do bodily harm to themselves or others.

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, Personal Finance, Vocational Learning, Information Technology, Physical Fitness, Art and Music, and 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

What is the function of the local school board?

To create, establish, and monitor policy that will support the education of students. Also, the board can hire or fire the superintendent.

Do you support the National School Board Association's characterization of parents who speak out at school board meetings as "domestic terrorists"?

No

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

Those that parents recommend.

Who has the ultimate right to control the education of children in public schools? (a) parents (b) teachers (c)school boards.

parents


VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a person who has faith in Christ.

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?

Sex education needs to be taken out of the schools and parents should teach their children.

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

I don't support the teaching of Sex Ed. It should be taught at home.

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 Agree

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?

Very Conservative

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).

My local church in which I have been a member of since 1996 is bible base church, so my church fellowship and connection are the evidence.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

I am a faith values individual. My life was changed because of a praying mother and a Christian teacher in High School who led me to Christ. Their messages of faith and hope have been my foundation in life.


OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES

Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?

Parents should make that choice, not schools.

I support mask mandates.

Strongly Disagree

Parents and staff should make their own personal choice, not government.
