Candidate's Comments:
Anytime the government prohibits our freedom of speech or calls parents Domestic Terrorist there was a very hard line that was crossed. The moral compass of today has dropped to a dangerous degree that is insanity!

Candidate's Comments:
Our society is minimizing the uniqueness of our girls. I hosted a movie "Whose Children Are They" and it is frightening how this agenda came to fruition. We need to stop confusing our children! We need to stop sexualizing our children! No male should benefit with athletic titles on a female team. We are living in the Twilight Zone! Counseling is needed to find the root cause of this gender confusion in children not to mutilate a child's body. Do what you want as an adult but leave our children alone!

Candidate's Comments:
As a substitute teacher I have seen the purposeful lessons to divide our children. CRT does this. Teach our children that they are limitless in their possibilities if they work hard. We need to build confident critical thinkers not complacent non action members of society. I have been talking about school vouchers for over a decade. The money should follow the children.

Candidate's Comments:
I believe that if the end of a heartbeat defines death then the beginning of a heartbeat should define life. Abortions should not be used as a form of birth control or an elective surgery. The value of life has lost its moral impact. Having to do fertility to conceive my children I appreciate the gift of motherhood. However I also was told not to have any more children because of a risk of a ruptured uterus do the "windows". If a mother's life will end due to the pregnancy that is an emergency surgery. This is something I support. I am not afraid to say I am pro-life. As far as state funding of abortions I oppose. There are enough not-for-profit organizations that devalue the life of the unborn baby. Let them pay for it, after all, it is the same companies pushing the sexualization in our schools.
