QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Agree
They should have to provide all the information including it being a deliberate death.
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?
My opinion of free education is pretty low at this point because I feel as though big government has become to heavily evolved and citizens are not getting the best returns on their investments.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Strongly Agree
Faculty should also be able to speak freely. The first amendment should be acceptable on all levels.
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
EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
Interview, hire or terminate the superintendent. Approve budget and set tax rate. Approve spending. Approve staff appointments from the superintendent.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
T. E. A.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
If they are unruly or speaking out of turn.
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
Remove CRT, Political Activism, Gender identity, Social Emotion, Sexuality because they teach you what to think. Keep the rest because they inspire critical thinking and teach students how to think rather than what to think. There should be a strong emphasis on personal finances so we can teach students how to live without government dependency.
Which more closely matches your view of America's founding principles? A) Liberty and equality. B) Slavery and racism.
A.
What does "equity in education" mean to you?
Keeping and maintaining a high standard of education and helping those who struggle with it through tutorials. The standard should not be lowered for all to easily get through.
Written parental consent (opt-in) must be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
Strongly Agree
I think these should not be taught in public schools.
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Strongly Agree
Any time the government gets involved in anything, it becomes more evolved. I. S. D's should absolutely be independent.
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
Not only should they be able to choose their educational institution but they should be able to have authority over where the tax money goes as well.
School boards are accountable to parents and taxpayers.
Strongly Agree
I do not feel at this time as though this is the case when it comes to being accountable to the taxpayers. It looks as if they boards for the most part just go along with the I. S. D.
Do you believe students should have access to materials that graphically depict and describe sexual acts?
No
Again this is teaching them what to think.
All print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review.
Strongly Agree
The taxpayer should be well informed on what the future leaders of our nation are being taught.
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a baptized Christian believer and believe everyone should have to opportunity to come to know the Truth and the Gospel. My main book of study to this day is the Holy Bible. I read a lot of other devotional books and inspirational guides daily, pray with my family and attend services regularly.
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
There are two genders and there is no way to successfully change one to the other and honestly, they really should stop trying.
No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.
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
Again, public schools need to get back to education. Keep it simple.
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
The parents or legal guardians are responsible and the age should be determined when they feel it is appropriate rather than when the government says 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
I do not support it. The Bible is a great resource for this information.
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
Nothing more needs to be added.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
There is no reason for them to be without photo identification.
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.
I have not.
A candidate's personal moral values are relevant when considering a candidacy for elective office.
Strongly Agree
You absolutely need to know what they stand for.
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).
I am the Precinct Chairman for the Harris County Republican Party in 1095.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am running in Position 7 against a 38 year incumbent, and known liberal. When you look at the ballot I am the name in the middle on position 7. I am the middle man and I would greatly appreciate your support. May God richly bless you all in the upcoming election.
2ND AMENDMENT
Teachers who are licensed to carry should be allowed to carry guns at school.
Strongly Agree
But they should have to take target training to maintain their ability.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?
Under no circumstances. This should be left up to the parents to decide what is best for their child.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
This has been proven not to be an effective form of protection. If a child wants to wear a mask then I have no issue but forcing anyone to wear a mask is inhumane.
All official open meetings should be live streamed, recorded, and have transcripts available online for public access.
Strongly Agree
The taxpayer needs to be well informed on how their investment is being utilized.
All votes should be roll call votes and recorded in meeting minutes.
Strongly Agree
