Candidate's Comments:
4. Private citizens with their own private business can choose to work with whomever they desire. 5. This question is vague and I would need more information to give an accurate answer, but since there is no choice other than support or oppose, I put oppose with this comment as further clarification. 6. This also will come down to public vs. private colleges or universities. 7. I am not aware of any charities that have to disclose private and personal donor information to the general public like phone numbers or addresses. Instead, perhaps legislation could be introduced to make doxxing an individual a crime. We could also consider strengthening stalking laws already on the books.

Candidate's Comments:
8. The government has no place in this, leave it up to the individual sports leagues and schools. 9. Parents should not be restricted from seeking professional therapy for their children for any issue. Therapy benefits everyone. 10. Of course, LGBTQ folks deserve the same protections from discrimination as anyone else. Don't discriminate against people different than yourself and this wouldn't be a problem.

X | ||
14.Parental Rights for Transparency in Education: Giving parents access to the curriculum and materials their children are learning in school and allowing them to decide whether or not their children should be exposed to certain ideas. |

Candidate's Comments:
11. Public funds need to stay with public schools. This would be a misuse of taxpayer money. 12. Parents already have this option in that they can homeschool their child, put them in a charter school, or a private school. We don't need to be creating more division between parents and teachers. 13. No K-12 school is teaching Critical Race Theory. What they are teaching is our nation's history, which at times can be uncomfortable. 14. Parents should absolutely be able to see the curriculum and materials their children are learning in case they would like to supplement that learning at home, but most parents are not trained educators and we need to let our teachers, the school administration, and the school board do their job.

Candidate's Comments:
1. Abortion is a personal choice, and there is not enough room in a doctor's office for the government. 2. I would not support adding anything to our taxes, we need to readjust and reprioritize what we're already spending. 3. There is no good reason that I can think of that a terminally ill person should not be able to die with dignity and without pain.
