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.
Neutral
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 government should help all US citizens get a better education.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
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.

EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
Did not answer
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
Superintendent and the board with the staff. Government should stay neutral.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
Never they are the parents. The board is elected by 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
Did not answer
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?
Everyone deserves a chance. But we need to extend the hand not hand outs. And it’s a equal 2 way street.
Written parental consent (opt-in) must be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
Agree
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.

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.
Agree
School boards are accountable to parents and taxpayers.
Strongly Agree
Do you believe students should have access to materials that graphically depict and describe sexual acts?
Yes
All print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review.
Disagree
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I’m a Roman catholic. I believe in a one god. I have good Christian values.
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Disagree
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
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Parents but that’s the way I was brought up. But today all bets are off. Schools with parental consent.
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 believe it should be thought at home, with a doctor or in school with parental permission.
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Disagree

People should be able to vote without photo identification.
