Candidate's Comments:
Religious liberty and freedom of conscience are fundamental constitutional rights. Individuals and faith-based organizations should not be penalized by the government or private institutions because of sincerely held religious or political beliefs, provided they are acting within the law. Equal access to professional licensure, financial services, and the ability to serve according to one’s faith are essential to preserving these freedoms.

Candidate's Comments:
Parents have the primary responsibility and constitutional right to direct the care, upbringing, and education of their children. Children should be protected from harmful online practices, and parents should remain free to seek professional counseling they believe is in their child’s best interest without fear of government interference. Custody decisions should be based on a child’s safety and well-being, not on a parent’s good-faith adherence to their sincerely held beliefs regarding biological sex.

Candidate's Comments:
Parents are the primary decision-makers in the upbringing and education of their children. Families should have the freedom to choose the educational environment that best reflects their values, including public, private, charter, and religious schools. Schools should maintain transparency by keeping parents informed about curriculum, activities, and any mental, physical, or emotional health matters involving their children. Protecting parental rights and ensuring accountability in education strengthens our communities.

Candidate's Comments:
I believe every human life has inherent dignity and is worthy of protection from conception until natural death. I support protecting unborn children, oppose the use of taxpayer funds for abortion providers, and believe that compassionate care for the terminally ill should focus on high-quality palliative care, pain management, and support for patients and their families rather than physician-assisted suicide.
