QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Disagree
I do not believe in using taxpayer money to fund abortion.
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
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?
I believe that Pre-K through 12th grade should be funded with state and local taxes to focus on local children's needs and minimize bureaucratic control by the federal government, but I appreciate that our Special Education students are supported through federal funding.
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
Districts should not discriminate based on any beliefs that are outside the purview of educating children academically.
EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
The school board represents the voice of the community in writing and voting upon local policy and governance within the scope of state and federal law. The board also vets, selects, and evaluates the superintendent.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The school board within the scope of state law.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
The simple act of speaking at a board meeting is a first amendment right and should never be restricted.
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 Learning, Personal Finances, Physical Fitness, Art & Music, Foreign Language, Information Technology, Social Emotional Learning (classical SEL only is fine such as how to remain calm, talk to others, self-advocate, etc., but not infused with a political agenda).
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?
Education is the great equalizer. Giving children the opportunity to develop cogitatively, learn reading and writing skills, learn from history, and forge themselves into productive citizens has decimated the global poverty rate in the last century.
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.
Agree
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
100%
Do you believe students should have access to materials that graphically depict and describe sexual acts?
No
All print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I'm a faithful Christian and my family regularly attends Catholic Mass.
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
No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.
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?
The parents at the age they see fit based on the maturity and development of their child.
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 (aligned with curricula in biology), abstinence
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
These Western values have spread democracy and decimated poverty on a global level.
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 are 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?
Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
My public service to my country in the Air Force and to my community in public schools demonstrate my conservative values through love of nation and commitment to service.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I love kids, I love teachers, and I love serving the community.
2ND AMENDMENT
Teachers who are licensed to carry should be allowed to carry guns at school.
Agree
Not all teachers; a thorough vetting process with consistent and continual training and updates throughout the school year would be needed. Additionally I think inconspicuous armed personnel like air marshals could be a great benefit to school safety.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?
Texas Education Code allows for medical and religious exemptions for vaccines. Parents reserve the right to address the medical needs of their children while also enjoying the benefits of public education.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
All official open meetings should be live streamed, recorded, and have transcripts available online for public access.
Strongly Agree
All votes should be roll call votes and recorded in meeting minutes.
Strongly Agree
