Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
—Ronald Reagan

Values I Believe In
Parental Rights: First and foremost, I come from the perspective of a parent who desires input in my children’s education. Parents are the most important voices in the educational debates of our time. Schools provide knowledge but parents mold character.
Supporting Teachers: I value and respect good teachers. They need support and resources and we should be making their job easier, not harder. Expectations should be realistic, fair, and compassionate. I know teachers help everyone thrive.
Proven Educational Models: I’m a believer in traditional educational models that have proven successful over time. These include in-person learning, teacher instruction, and a limit of screen time, especially for elementary age children.
Responsible Budgeting: I believe we can better utilize our precious educational funds. Less funding should be allocated to overhead costs and wasteful programs and more sent directly to the classroom where it will make the biggest impact. Responsible budgeting is a key factor in ensuring our students get the best opportunity.
Education before “Fill-in-the-Blank”: There will always be societal and economical causes that will vie for our attention. However, the purpose of our educational system is to teach information to students free of agendas. The core classes should be emphasized and academic achievement celebrated for students to thrive.
Supporter of Fine Arts and Extracurricular Activities: I support and value the fine arts, extracurricular activities, and sports. I understand the value and enjoyment of these programs. We are the parents of both an instrumental sterling scholar and a region cross country champion. These experiences have been invaluable for our kids.
