OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?

Notify the parents, and then work with the student and parent to recommend local non-abortive resources.


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?

I believe that government funding of public education is essential to ensuring that every child has access to quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background. From Pre-K through high school, public education plays a critical role in providing the foundation for lifelong learning and success. Adequate funding is necessary to maintain high educational standards, support teachers, and provide the resources needed for students to thrive.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


EDUCATION

Abortion and gender-affirming 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

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).

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Mathematics Science Language Arts American History Civics Information Technology Physical Fitness Personal Finances Vocational Learning Foreign Language Art & Music Social Emotional Learning

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.

Strongly 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.

VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

My spiritual beliefs are deeply rooted in my Christian faith, with Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe in living a life guided by the teachings of the Bible, which emphasize love, compassion, integrity, and service to others. My faith calls me to treat every person with dignity and respect, to pursue justice and truth, and to be a positive influence in my community. These values shape not only my personal life but also my approach to leadership and public service, as I strive to reflect Christ’s love and principles in all that I do.

Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?

Parents. If it is to be available in schools, and parents are given the opportunity to opt-in, I believe degrees of appropriate sexual education can be introduced in middle school.

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) -- abortion methods and side effects; abstinence; consent; contraceptive methods; human anatomy/the reproductive system; physical and emotional health outcomes; sex acts and pleasures of sex; sexual orientation and gender identity; stages of pregnancy and fetal development

Abstinence; consent; human anatomy/the reproductive system; physical and emotional health outcomes; stages of pregnancy and fetal development.

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

Children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming (including drag shows and explicit materials) in schools and libraries.

Strongly Agree

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


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly 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

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
