| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board? | To try to provide a more quality education to help improve proficiency scores and to involve parents in all aspects of their child's education. |
| 2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue. | They attempt to pass harmful policies without notifying parents of the actions and these policies do not belong in the school system as they don't even have anything to do with a real education. I would try to avoid passing bad policies and would make sure parents knew about what policy issues were coming up before the board. |
| 3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not? | I absolutely support school choice. It would make a competitive school system with more chances of a higher quality education. It would result in higher proficiency. |
| 4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing? | The parents. |
| 5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not? | Absolutely not. Ever since the inception of our constitution, we have lawfully strived to remove any form of racism. All men are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights and among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. |
| 6. What are your thoughts on “Comprehensive Sex Education”, “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”, and “Social Emotional Learning”? Should these be a part of our public education curriculum or supplemental learning materials or left to parents to teach and why? | They do not belong in schools. The parents should have the right to teach their children whatever beliefs they have. Indoctrination does not belong in school. |
| 7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected? | Focus more on the true basics of education. Choose curriculum that promotes only these basics and let the parents decide what else they want their children to know. |
| 8. Safety is a major concern for most families, how would you support and encourage safety measures for girls in their private spaces, if elected? | Absolutely no biological males allowed into female bathrooms, locker rooms and showers, or any other such area. Also, no biological girls in the boys spaces. No promotion of transgenderism, this does not change the biological sex. |
| 9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today? | Yes, it is. |
| 10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them. | ConservativesOf.com Idaho State Voter Guide lists me as more or most conservative than the alternative. Canyon County Republicans has endorsed me. |
