Candidate's Comments:
Again I believe the legislation should only reflect the government's soul purpose of protecting and preserving individual life liberty and property. Anything outside of that is a non legislative issue and should be decided among individuals.

Candidate's Comments:
As for private organizations such as Facebook or Instagram, strongly to encourage them to hold their own policies. Government should not infringe upon their platforms. Unless such policies and platforms violate individual life liberty or property. I support a children's Bill of Rights. Primary right is that they have a right to have a meaningful relationship with those who love them and protect them. Gender confusion and gender identity are psychiatric issues and not legislative issues. As for parental custody rights again I will emphasize that the child has a right to meaningful relationship with parents who love and protect them. Child protection should be handled by law enforcement. If anyone violates child's right to life or liberty, or to be loved and protected, that individual should be held accountable.

Candidate's Comments:
While I support parents rights, I do not support any government entity or education system in denying parental rights. I believe the education system should be a local Independent School districts, having a statewide structure outside of state government. As for tax credits and vouchers and school choice. I support private education remaining outside the normal education system. I do not support using taxpayer dollars to fund entitlement choices. It's not the role of government to interfere with the educational system or where a parent wants to put their child for education. That is something that should be determined between the school and the parent.

Candidate's Comments:
Some issues are not so black and white. I oppose abortion because it is an outdated medical practice. I support ectogenesis and fetus transplantation to artificial wombs. I do not think this is a legislative issue it's a medical issue. In the same way, assistant suicide as a medical issue and not a legislative issue. At Doctor Who is taking a hypocrite oath should not be providing such services. So I support the advancement of science. I believe legislation should only serve to protect and preserve life liberty and property. To that extent all legislation that is outside those areas is not a legislative issue and should be decided by the people.
