Candidate's Comments:
The funding for each child from government should be attached to the child. Where the child goes, so should the funding. Teaching children to hate one another and self hatred is abhorrent. Things like the 1619 project are total fiction. Howard Zinn's text books are revisionist history dreamed up by someone that hated America and should be removed from schools.

Candidate's Comments:
As a practicing Catholic I am very conflicted about abortion. I believe life begins at conception and ends at natural death. I am conflicted as to whether or not I have the right to impose what I believe to be right. At this point in time I will follow the science as to viability which can be as little as 8 weeks
