Candidate's Comments:
Healthcare is a human right. It is not government job to tell people what is best for one’s health. That is why we have medical professionals. My duty as Governor is to ensure the services, resources, & cost are all accessible. I trust the people and our medical staff to make the best choices for the best life care.

Candidate's Comments:
If a person beliefs is why they can or can not do something that is fine your beliefs, your life. There are plenty of other businesses & churches with wide spectrum of acceptance that will do the services or events without all the drama. Use these other groups instead, pay them the money instead, or give them the free advertisement instead. While those that don’t; don’t & those that will; will. It is called FREEDOM OF SPEECH & again government needs to honor everyone rights at all times.

Candidate's Comments:
Denial of anyone Human Rights is an attack upon all human rights. The Transgender issue is becoming an unnecessary mess because it is an all around violation of human rights happening. Equality does not impose upon another person, group, or demographics equality. Also total denial of human rights to a person, group, or demographic is not the solution either.

Candidate's Comments:
CRT is American History. Partly why America is still having race relations issues is because this country has never told the truth of ugliness in our society culture to our kids, so the reality of racism continues to exist. Now if a parent doesn’t want their kids to know the truth their choice they can exclude their kids from the teachings in the classroom but the schools are educational institutions and the job of education is to Teach the Truth!!!

Candidate's Comments:
Schools are not the responsibility of kids. The parents are the responsibility of their children. Therefore anything the school is providing, offering, or giving a student needs to come from the approval of the parents! It is dangerous how schools are able to do whatever they please and not inform the families of the students what is happening while their kids are on the campuses property. This will end in the State of Tennessee!!! Parents, Students and Schools are supposed to work together to bring wrap around care to the children.
