Previous public office positions or appointments

Never held office prior

Why are you seeking this office?

I am running for my daughter. I want her to feel safe in school.

What are the major differences between you and the other candidate(s) seeking this post?

I don’t think biological males should have access to female bathrooms.

What do you see as the top issues facing your locality, and how do you address them in your campaign platform?

The top issue is ideological politics taught in schools. We need to free our children to learn. My opponent prefers to deny facts and the science that boys and girls have fundamental differences. Girls should not be forced to disrobe in front of a biological boy nor should they be forced under threat of suspension for objecting to this practice. Girls should also not be forced to share sports or locker rooms with biological boys who disrobe.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

This job is about standing up for what is right. I have made my career and received awards for integrity and ethics. I have always been the customer’s advocate. The customers to the LCSB/LCPS are the parents and the students. The majority on the school board, including my opponent, ignore parent’s concerns and complaints. This must end.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

School should teach critical thinking with an open dialogue. Right now students that speak up are punished. Teachers that report assaults from problem students are silenced. Our schools have become an activist training ground and radical elements are taking over. We need a new school board to reverse the policies that leave students/teachers/parents with no voice.
