OTHER INFORMATION
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?
Miami-Dade already recognizes that students facing a crisis pregnancy need support, not abandonment. Through programs such as TAP and the COPE Centers, the district helps pregnant and parenting students continue their education, access counseling and support services, and stay on a path toward graduation. I support ensuring that every student has the opportunity to complete their education and build a successful future.
ECONOMY
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Neutral
Student loan forgiveness is a federal issue and not something a school board member controls. My focus is on helping students avoid excessive debt in the first place. That means strengthening career and technical education, apprenticeships, dual enrollment, partnerships with Miami Dade College, and workforce training programs so students graduate with more options. The District's agreement with Miami Dade College has saved families over $17 million dollars.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I am in support.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
To me, separation of church and state means that public schools should neither promote nor inhibit religion. I support students' rights to pray individually or in groups, form faith-based student organizations, and express their religious beliefs in appropriate ways.
IMMIGRATION
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enhances the safety and security of communities by identifying and detaining illegal aliens.
Strongly Agree

Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Disagree
Parents are the primary decision-makers regarding their children's education and healthcare outside Bona fide emergencies.
Consequences for bad behavior create a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Agree
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
