OTHER INFORMATION

In this article, Laurie Parman answers questions about her views, particularly on education, during her campaign for school board in 2023.
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
No circumstances for elective abortions, only and rarely for life saving reasons.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Strongly Agree
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
The minimum wage is becoming bloated and counterproductive. It simply cannot be perpetually raised. It hurts businesses to the point where owners eliminate jobs, which makes it harder to get an entry level job.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.
1. Remove illegal aliens from the country. 2. Mandatory oversight for any disbursed funds 3. Criminal penalties and "perp walks", lots and lots of "perp walks".
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means, as the founders intended, that the state has no business interfering with churches. Do not tell churches they cannot be open, while strip clubs can be open and other various infringements.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
I am torn between C and D. Our medical system as a whole has been destroyed by a "Robin Hood Mentality" We as a state and as a nation need to look at courageous fresh ideas that honor free enterprise, such as why can't there be insurance companies for people who want to pay for holistic treatment instead of letting insurance companies tell me how to keep myself well? Having said that, medicare for those legitimately on it, still serves a purpose for those who might need it transitionally.
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Strongly Disagree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Strongly Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel is the best friend of the United States in the Middle East, and that relationship needs to be respected and protected for the good of the US and for the good of the world. And I believe the US will be blessed in relation to our friendship and commitment to, and with Israel.
IMMIGRATION
I support the existence of sanctuary cities to protect undocumented persons.
Strongly Disagree
These so called sanctuary cities will destroy law and order and the moral and financial climate of any state that allows them.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
I strongly agree, the less government the better. I am a 30 year retired teacher. In Illinois with our current leadership I feel unprotected by my state that does not allow me access to federal protections and blessings, such as access to school of choice etc. Who will help us return to educational sanity in Illinois?
Foreign governments should be prohibited from funding American education.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Strongly Agree
Strongly, Strongly agree.
Attempts to physically or socially transition a child to the opposite sex constitute child abuse.
Strongly Agree
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Agree
I support the expansion of gambling in my state.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
For too long as a Christian, I treated God like a "minimally viable product". He'll do... for a God. Today, thanks to great tragedy and suffering, I have discovered the God of power and purpose. I walk with Him closely and am living my very best and most exciting life. I believe my purpose is to represent Him to a very needy culture. I believe in bringing the Christian faith to my world, wherever I am.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
EQUALITY
Reparations should be given to people on the basis of race.
Strongly Disagree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Strongly Agree
ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Man-made climate change is a global threat and requires urgent political action.
Strongly Disagree
It is fake.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
Natural gas and oil.
ABOUT YOU
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
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
What should be the goal of the criminal justice system?
Deterrence of future crimes. Penalties should be strong and swift. We are creating a class of "super criminals" by letting young criminals have a get out of jail free card. It's not empathy or any other good thing to let young people destroy their lives and not get caught soon enough to fix their own lives before it is too late.
Government has a responsibility to protect children from sexual exploitation during online activities.
Strongly Agree
Sharia law should not be accepted or incorporated in any form within the legal framework of the United States.
Strongly Agree
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
No restrictions, because restrictions only keep law abiding citizens from certain weapons, but criminals will always find a way to get weapons.
