QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Disagree
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 do not think that government should expand its umbrella of funding past K-12 like the current direct system (obviously acknowledging that some funding goes to assist with Pre-K and college currently). I think how the K-12 funding is used should be improved in many districts, including Blue Valley, which is a primary reason why i am running for Blue Valley School Board.
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.
Agree
EDUCATION
What is the function of the local school board?
To oversee the schools to ensure that students in community are getting the best education possible with the tax dollars which are given to the schools.
Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?
The board is ultimately responsible and should partner with the administration to ensure that the curriculum is appropriate and as challenging as possible.
When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?
There should be limited restrictions on parents speaking in school board meetings.
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
Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, American history, Personal Finances, Vocational Learning, Art and Music, Information Technology, Foreign Language
Which more closely matches your view of America's founding principles? A) Liberty and equality. B) Slavery and racism.
Liberty
What does "equity in education" mean to you?
Treating each student with respect and kindness and trying to help each student where they are.
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
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
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.
Agree
Do you believe print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review, including those without children enrolled in school.
Yes
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a born again Christian that attends a non denominational church. I have spent the last 2 years learning about the Orthodox Church and enjoy their perspective on God, the Bible and spirituality also.
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
I have 3 daughters that I believe should only compete against other biological girls.
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?
I think ultimately it should be for the parents to teach at the age they deem appropriate.
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
To the extent we have it in our schools it should focus on the science of reproduction.
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
I support allowing public middle and high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should be allowed in female locker rooms and bathrooms.
Strongly Disagree
No school official should be involved in the social or medical transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.
Strongly Agree
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.

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?

Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
I do not have any.
Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I will bring back fiscal intelligence to our school board and work with others to bring back Blue Valley Excellence!
I voted in these primaries and general elections:
2014 General Election 2016 General Election 2018 General Election 2020 General Election 2022 Republican Primary 2022 General Election
2ND AMENDMENT
Teachers who are licensed to carry should be allowed to carry guns at school.
Neutral
While I am a strong 2A supporter, I think the question of whether teachers should carry is one that needs more consideration (including by me).
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
Under what circumstances (if any) should schools be allowed to require vaccinations?
They should not be able to.
I support mask mandates.
Strongly Disagree
All the data shows the masks only do harm and no good.
All official open meetings should be live streamed, recorded, and have transcripts available online for public access.
Agree
All votes should be roll call votes and recorded in meeting minutes.
Agree
