Candidate's Comments:
I support prohibiting abortion once a heartbeat is detected, typically before 5-6 weeks. In cases of rape or incest, there are options such as the morning-after pill available in the early stages. The mother's life remains a priority, and decisions should be made between her, her physician, and her family.
First Amendment
S O NR
4.
Conscience Rights for Professionals: Prohibiting the government from denying required licensure or certification to individuals because of their religious or political beliefs.

Transparency in Banking: Allowing consumers to obtain a written explanation when a financial institution shuts down the consumer’s account to protect against ideologically driven cancellations.

Candidate's Comments:
I strongly support freedom of religion as a fundamental right. Every individual should have the freedom to practice their faith without interference from the government. Religious freedom is a cornerstone of our nation's founding principles and must be protected.
Family
S O NR
8.
Parental Rights in Gender Identity Counseling: Allowing parents to obtain professional counseling for a child struggling with gender confusion to help the child find comfort with his or her biological sex.
X
9(a).
Protected Class for Sexual Orientation: Elevating “sexual orientation” to a protected class alongside race, religion, sex, age, and disability in nondiscrimination law.
X
9(b).
Protected Class for Gender Identity: Elevating “gender identity” to a protected class alongside race, religion, sex, age, and disability in nondiscrimination law.
X
Candidate's Comments:
I believe these additional protections are unnecessary. What happens in the bedroom, whom you love, or how you identify are personal matters and should remain private. Elevating "sexual orientation" to a protected class isn't required, as it could create unnecessary legal complexities and infringe on religious and personal freedoms already safeguarded under current laws.
Education and Public Safety

13.
Transparency in School Curriculum & Activities: Giving parents access to the curriculum, presentations, and activities that their children are learning in school and allowing them to opt their children out of school extra-curricular activities, presentations, or specific lessons to which the parents object.
X
Candidate's Comments:
I believe in ensuring that our next generation of leaders receives the best education possible, equipping them to be successful and responsible citizens. I want students to have access to education that fosters individual growth and prepares them to contribute to society in meaningful ways, surpassing the achievements of those who came before. It’s about preparing them for life, work, and leadership with a strong foundation.
