Candidate's Comments:
The Constitution supports life. I support life. However, there are many mitigating factors that will never be able to be legislated; the law must reflect that.   I believe personal responsibility must be revived in our State.  I propose we educate our children about what our Constitution endorses, support parents in their role of developing them into responsible citizens, and support those who choose to keep their babies.

Candidate's Comments:
9. I am not aware of a law that prohibits parents from obtaining professional counseling for their children for any reason. The wording of this question makes it unclear what you are asking. For example, there are two possible antecedents for the word "them". Therefore, I am not answering this question. 10. I support people being who they want to be. It isn't my business what their sexual orientation is and I don't want to see them discriminated against. However, there are groups, who are already on the list, who are still being discriminated against. The list we have now is sufficient. If we make it too long, it will lose its meaning and will be more difficult to enforce.

X

X
13.
Critical Race Theory: Allowing schools to teach children that America's laws, policies, and society perpetuate systemic racism and that people are either oppressors or oppressed, or privileged or marginalized, based on their skin color.
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.
X
Candidate's Comments:
The word racist is so overused that it is almost meaningless. Leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. and former President Nelson Mandela are far and few between these days. This is sad and it is dangerous because real racism is something we must strive to eradicate. Our Constitution does not perpetuate racism.
