Strongly Agree

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death because every person has inherent, God-given, dignity and value that does not depend on age, ability, convenience, or circumstance. A just society should protect the most vulnerable, and that begins with unborn children and extends to the elderly, the disabled, and those at the end of life. The law should affirm that life is not disposable.

Schools should support students, but they should never try to replace parents. It is never the school’s role to parent a child or make deeply personal decisions on behalf of a family. Schools should always involve and notify parents, because parents are the primary decision-makers in a child’s life. When a student faces a crisis pregnancy, the school’s role should be to provide appropriate accommodations, practical support, and access to resources so the student can continue her education with dignity and stability. That can include academic flexibility, counseling support, health-related accommodations, and connections to community resources that help students who choose life. Schools should be a place of support and stability, not secrecy

Strongly Agree

The Ten Commandments are foundational to our moral and legal traditions—they reflect timeless principles like justice, responsibility, and respect for others. Displaying them isn’t about imposing religion; it’s about recognizing the values that helped shape our nation and continue to guide a strong, orderly society.

Strongly Agree

Students should absolutely be free to speak openly and respectfully about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity. Free expression doesn’t stop at the schoolhouse door—it’s a core American value. As long as it’s civil and not disruptive, students should never be silenced for expressing their faith. As long as students are not disrupting the learning environment or pressuring others, they should be able to express their beliefs without fear of punishment or discrimination.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly oppose BDS efforts targeting Israel. These actions undermine a key democratic ally and do little to advance lasting peace. Instead of economic pressure campaigns that deepen division, we should support direct negotiation and cooperation that can lead to a secure, stable future for both Israelis and Palestinians. Furthermore, as a person of faith, I stand with Israel.

Strongly Agree

Peace is best preserved through strength. As Ronald Reagan said, “We maintain the peace through our strength; weakness only invites aggression.” A strong military deters our enemies, protects our interests, and ensures we’re never negotiating from a position of vulnerability. That’s how you keep America—and the world—secure. I feel strongly that we should exhaust all diplomatic approaches before the use of military force, but I am supportive of using it.

Strongly Disagree

I believe in personal responsibility and that with grit, determination, and hard work, anyone can achieve the American dream. I am a living example of this - raised by my single grandmother, a factory worker. I put myself through college, graduate school, and post-graduate school. I worked multiple jobs while doing this and had to take out student loans, which I just recently (after 20 years) paid off.

Strongly Agree

Decisions about education are best made at the state and local levels, where leaders and educators are closest to the needs of students and communities. Federal bureaucracy often slows the delivery of vital resources, ties up funding in unnecessary red tape, and diverts dollars that could be more effectively used in classrooms. By returning authority to the state, we can ensure resources are directed where they matter most—supporting students, empowering teachers, and strengthening schools.

Neutral

There is nuance in my response.The Georgia Constitution says that we are to provide a "free and appropriate public education" for each K-12 student. I support investing in education, but not a one-size-fits-all system that traps families in failing schools. Taxpayer dollars should follow the student, not the system. Parents deserve the freedom to choose the best path—public, private, charter, or homeschool—because choice drives better outcomes for everyone. I do not support free college.

Strongly Disagree

Absolutely not. Schools should never partner with or promote abortion providers or gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, as a resource for instruction or services. These organizations push life-altering agendas that have no place in a school setting and no business coming between parents and their children. Schools exist to educate, not to facilitate abortion, steer children toward irreversible decisions, or outsource moral and medical guidance to activist organizations.

Students should have equality of opportunity. Every child deserves a fair chance to learn, grow, and succeed, regardless of their background or where they live. The goal of education should be to open doors, uphold high standards, and give every student access to the tools they need to thrive.Equity of outcomes often lowers standards and shifts the focus away from excellence. Education should reward hard work, support individual potential, and prepare students for real success.

Public safety is essential, but so is protecting the Second Amendment. I support enforcing existing laws, keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals, and improving background check systems. The focus should be on accountability and mental health, not broad restrictions that punish law-abiding citizens exercising their constitutional rights.

No.

No.

Conservative

I would describe myself as a conservative grounded in faith, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. My views are shaped by a strong belief in parental rights, limited government, and the importance of moral values in public life. At the same time, I believe in respecting others, protecting freedom of conscience, and finding practical solutions that strengthen families and communities.

Strongly Agree

Adults have a responsibility to preserve innocence, respect parental rights, and make sure children are not pushed into conversations, materials, or performances that are not suitable for their age or development. That means setting clear boundaries around what is appropriate in educational and public spaces, giving parents a strong voice, and ensuring that institutions meant to serve children actually protect them.

Agree

I believe there is an important distinction between a sacred union and a legal one. Marriage, in the sacred sense, is a God-ordained covenant rooted in faith, commitment, and purpose. Government, however, defines legal unions to provide order and protections. While both have value, the role of government is limited to the legal, and it should not attempt to define or alter what is sacred.

Strongly Agree

Parents—not the government—are best positioned to make decisions about their child’s health and education. I strongly support recognizing and protecting that fundamental right. When government honors parental rights, children are better served because the people who know and love them best remain at the center of those decisions. Schools, agencies, and public institutions should work with parents in transparency and partnership, not secrecy or overreach.

My faith is the foundation of who I am. I am a Christian, and I strive to live my life according to the teachings of the Bible, guided especially by the New Testament commandment of Christ to love God and love people. That means showing grace, leading with compassion, and treating others with dignity and respect. My beliefs shape my values, my decisions, and how I serve others—but I also believe in meeting people where they are and leading with love above all else.

Sex education should first and foremost be the role of parents, because these are deeply personal matters that touch on a child’s values, development, and well-being. Parents should be the primary voices guiding those conversations. If any instruction is offered in schools, it should only happen with clear parental opt-in, not automatic enrollment or passive notification. If parents choose to opt in, the content should be age-appropriate, medically accurate, and focused on core topics such as abstinence, human anatomy and the reproductive system, physical and emotional health outcomes, and stages of pregnancy and fetal development. It should not include instruction on sex acts, pleasures of sex, or ideological content on gender identity.

Strongly Disagree

I strongly disagree. Voting is one of our most important civic duties, and protecting its integrity is essential. Requiring photo ID is a commonsense safeguard that ensures every legal vote counts and prevents fraud. We ask for ID in everyday life—there’s no reason elections, which determine our future, should have a lower standard.

Strongly Agree

Biological differences matter, and policies should reflect reality in order to protect fairness, safety, and privacy for women and girls. Biological males should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports or enter spaces that are designated for biological women, including bathrooms, locker rooms, shelters, sorority housing, and prisons. These protections are not about hostility. They are about preserving equal opportunity, physical safety, and dignity for women.
