QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
None. That is a family matter.
ECONOMY
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I do not support government funding of public education through college.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means that the government cannot establish a national religion for its citizens. It was not intended to prohibit prayer or the study of the bible in public schools.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enhances the safety and security of communities by identifying and detaining illegal aliens.

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.
