OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
My view is that human dignity begins at conception and should be legally protected throughout every stage of life until natural death.
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
The role of the schools should be to provide a safe, supportive environment that prioritizes the emotional and physical well-being of pregnant students, offers counseling, and refers them to life-affirming community resources that support both mother and child.
ECONOMY
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
Efforts should focus on addressing the rising cost of higher education and improving affordability, rather than broadly forgiving existing student debt at taxpayers' expense.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
The government should continue to fund quality public education from Pre-K through K–12, while making higher education more affordable through targeted financial aid, scholarships, and efforts to reduce college costs rather than relying on broad taxpayer-funded tuition or widespread loan forgiveness
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
To me, separation of church and state in public schools means the government should not establish or favor any religion, but students should still be free to express their faith and participate in voluntary religious activities without interference
IMMIGRATION
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enhances the safety and security of communities by identifying and detaining illegal aliens.
Agree
Public safety and fair treatment should both be priorities in immigration enforcement.
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
Schools should not bring in organizations like abortion or gender-affirming providers to give instruction or services. Health education should be handled in a neutral way, focused on basic student well-being, and parents and families should play the primary role in guiding these sensitive issues.
Consequences for bad behavior create a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Agree
Clear expectations and fair consequences for behavior help create a safe, orderly environment that supports student learning, as long as discipline is applied consistently and appropriately.
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Disagree
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
Sex education should focus on basic, age-appropriate health information like abstinence, human anatomy, and the risks and responsibilities involved.
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
Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, American History, Civics, Personal Finances, Information Technology, Physical Fitness, Vocational Learning, Foreign Language, Art & Music, Sexuality (basic, health-focused). Omit Critical Race Theory, Political Activism, Gender Identity, and Social Emotional Learning.
Public schools should prioritize academic achievement and building character necessary to preserve American traditions and self-government.
Agree
School choice creates competition, and that competition will push public schools to improve their educational systems.
Disagree
I believe schools should prioritize academic excellence, but I also understand that parents may choose schools based on concerns about age-appropriate content and their child’s emotional well-being. School choice reflects more than just academic performance, and improvement in education is not driven only by competition.
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.
Strongly Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My life is centered on my faith in Jesus Christ, and I strive to live according to His teachings and honor God in all I do. I value compassion, respect, and treating others with dignity. I make decisions based on fairness, personal responsibility, and concern for others’ well-being.
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.
Agree
I believe feelings should be acknowledged with compassion, but the focus should remain on appropriate treatment and care to address the underlying condition.
School library books that have literary value, as determined by experts, should be exempt from obscenity laws.
Disagree
I believe school libraries should prioritize age-appropriate materials for students rather than relying solely on expert literary value when determining what content is accessible.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree

Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No

Conservative
2ND AMENDMENT
Faculty who are licensed to carry and have had ongoing training should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to respond to an active shooter situation.
Disagree
I believe school safety should be addressed through trained security and preventive measures rather than introducing firearms into the school environment.
