Candidate's Comments:
I strongly support First Amendment religious freedom protections. No government agency should disqualify Christian families from foster care opportunities based on their faith. Banks, insurance companies, and other institutions should face serious consequences, including fines and management changes, if they discriminate against families because of their religious or political beliefs.

Candidate's Comments:
I wholeheartedly support parental rights. No school should ever be hiding any gender confusion or any other emotional issues from parents. I would love to see schools, teachers and counselors be held accountable when they hide information from parents. I also do not believe that there should be material presented at schools that parents even have to opt out for.

I believe in defending life at all stages and all for reasons. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. I cannot and will not ever support assisted suicide or supporting abortion facilities.
