QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
The school should connect the student and family with community resources that can provide help and support. Teachers and administrators should provide accommodations to allow the student to continue her education through the pregnancy.
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
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Right now, we're committed to public funding education from Kindergarten through the 12 grade. My focus is on doing that well. Government funding of pre-K might be appropriate for some specific, at-risk populations. Public funding at the college level breaks the free market which would naturally provide downward pressure on costs. It should be very limited and assessed based on financial need and high school performance.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Agree
The mandated curriculum should not violate a teacher's moral or religious beliefs. This is much less of a problem when the curriculum is not used to indoctrinate students in controversial social and political ideologies. If we have minimal mandates and they focus on providing a quality, well-rounded education, then educators should be expected to teach it or find another subject area that doesn't conflict with their sincerely held personal beliefs.
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender transitioning providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Strongly 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
The public should be able to request a review of classroom materials if they suspect there may be inappropriate material being presented.
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Strongly Agree
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Choose not to answer
It's obvious that not everyone is born with the same resources. It is the responsibility of the school system to make sure that every student can succeed and earn a high school diploma regardless of their circumstances.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Agree
Education is not a role given to the federal government in the Constitution. Their best intentions, through Republican and Democratic administrations, haven't resulted in improved educational outcomes. Local leadership is better suited to structure education systems.
If a member of the public flags (challenges) a book as inappropriate and the school board disagrees, should the board impose a moratorium on when the book can be challenged again? If yes, for how long?
We have school board elections every two years. I don't see any reason to reconsider a book challenge if the makeup of the board hasn't changed.
Please list in order the following priorities in relation to the role of a K-12 public school (omitting any that do not apply): American History, Art & Music, Civics, Critical Race Theory, Foreign Language, Gender Identity, Information Technology, Language Arts, Mathematics, Personal Finances, Physical Fitness, Political Activism, Science, Sexuality, Social Emotional Learning, Vocational Learning
Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Art & Music, Physical Fitness, American History, Civics, Information Technology, Vocational Learning, Personal Finances, Foreign Language
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Agree
Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?
Equality of opportunities
Which type of written parental consent should be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE)? (A) Opt-In. (B) Opt-Out. (C) None.
(A) Opt-In
Who should make decisions about whether or not a book is appropriate for children? A) the elected school board members; B) an outsourced community committee
A) the elected school board members "Community" committees can be stacked by the administrators that appoint them. They can be included in the process but ultimately the elected representatives bear responsibility for making a decision when all other venues have not been able to resolve the complaint.
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a conservative Christian. My faith is in the resurrection of Jesus Christ for my eternal salvation. I believe that following Jesus means committing to a life of self-sacrifice in service to others so that they might see His love reflected in me.
Children have a right to reach maturity without chemical or surgical castration, which would damage their healthy bodies through surgeries and may cause a life-long dependence on cross-sex hormones.
Strongly Agree
If sexual education is taught in schools, what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Sex education should be limited to explaining the biological changes most children will experience as they mature.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman essential to the formation and sustaining of a civil and prosperous society.
Strongly Agree
Parents have the fundamental right to raise their child in accordance with their beliefs and values, including the right to make decisions about the child's education and healthcare.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have full and timely access to any and all records, including school and medical records, associated with their minor children.
Strongly Agree
School children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming including drag shows and explicit materials with pictures of sex acts and graphic language.
Strongly Agree
Should schools be giving instruction on how to engage in sexual acts, the pleasures of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or should they instead focus on educating students about the science of reproduction?
Schools should not be contributing to the sexualization of minor children in any way.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
EQUALITY
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
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No

No
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
2ND AMENDMENT
The right to bear arms is fundamental and must be protected.
Strongly Agree
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
In the event of a pandemic, school districts can mandate whatever health precautions they deem necessary (including masks and vaccines) to protect students and staff.
Choose not to answer
Technically, they can require whatever safety measures they deem appropriate in their buildings. They cannot force families to comply and should provide reasonable accommodations for all students to continue their education.
