OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
Life begins at conception.
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Follow Title IX guidelines and then ensure that the student is still receiving their education. The school should be supportive of the student.
ECONOMY
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I believe Pre - K is important for the development of children for basic skills. I am not a fan of taxpayers footing the bill, there are lots of Pre Ks out there, many are offered by religious organizations that a lot of times work with parents on price. I believe it is a state by state issue when it comes to funding.
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Strongly Agree
If you take out a loan you should pay it back.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that a school cannot force a religion on anyone. The 1st Amendment of the Constitution allows for an individual or individuals to practice their religion anytime as long as they are not disrupting in a class or school functions.
IMMIGRATION
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enhances the safety and security of communities by identifying and detaining illegal aliens.
Strongly Agree
I fully support ICE.
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
They have no business in schools.
Consequences for bad behavior create a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Strongly Agree
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Strongly Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
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; contraceptive methods; human anatomy/the reproductive system; physical and emotional health outcomes; stages of pregnancy and fetal development.
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
Personal Finances, Physical Fitness, American History, Civics, Vocational Learning, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Information Technology, Art & Music, Social Emotional Learning, Foreign Language
Public schools should prioritize academic achievement and building character necessary to preserve American traditions and self-government.
Strongly Agree
School choice creates competition, and that competition will push public schools to improve their educational systems.
Strongly Agree
VALUES
Biological males should 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.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian. Jesus is my Lord and savior!
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
I support the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
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
Mental health conditions such as anorexia and gender dysphoria need to be treated, not affirmed.
Strongly Agree
School library books that have literary value, as determined by experts, should be exempt from obscenity laws.
Strongly Disagree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
