Candidate's Comments:
A Typical terminal ill person that moves to hospice normally lives about 6 months. Family needs this six month people to say goodbye and we should not assist in suicide, but if a doctor says this is best because of the pain I would not prosecute the doctor. This is a tough decision that no family wants to make and should not have to make. I personally believe there is always hope. My brother survived COVID and were told 7 times to get the family together to say goodbye. Chris is still with us today and survived Covid. Our family went trough the highest highs and lowest lows during this time. We prayed and sent out prayer request to friends around the world and through Christ our lord he survived each downturn. One time his wife Rachel, held his hand and all his vitals went back to normal.

Candidate's Comments:
We must have full parental rights and parents must know what is happening in our schools. No parent should be prosecuted or punished for wanting to be involved and know what is happening in their childs school Too many parents are not involved with their childs education and are not aware of what is happening. We need to get parents involved and more are waking up since COVID
