Candidate's Comments:
Facebook, June 14: "I founded WakeUpD99, an association of concerned citizens to expose top down NEA/ISBE school district policies forcing D.E.I. (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), CRT (Critical Race Theory), SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and Pornography (e.g. Gender Queer) on students, sidelining (not telling) parents and advancing gender ideology. My opponent Anne Stava voted YES to mandate lessons on gender ideology and LGBTQ+ propoganda. . . .

Candidate's Comments:
I support school choice. I support homeschooling parents. I support good teachers. I oppose the left's attempts to force the use of pronouns. This is unconstitutional, compelling speech. See my website: I am an ardent defender of free speech rights, per settlement of case recently with the DGPD (Downers Grove Park District). Pronouns are not ever O.K. for use in school classrooms or anywhere else.

Candidate's Comments:
My June 29 reel on Facebook @LauraHois: "I advocate for upholding the value of life in Illinois. Despite concerted efforts to oppose SB 1950, JB Pritzker enacted the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act, permitted physician-assisted suicide. This is the wrong path. We must unite to uphold the inherent value of every individual's life, including the terminally ill, elderly, chronically ill, disabled, and unborn." June 18: "The First Amendment allows us to speak our mind. It is the number one most important constitutional right we have. . . . "
