Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Alaina Brouillette. I am from Hastings, NE but I have lived in Lincoln for 10 years now. I work for CHI Health in the billing department. I have a 6 year old daughter and 2 dogs. I spend all my free time with my daughter. I love to swim and go to amusement parks. I graduated with my Associate's degree in 2019 from Metro Community College in Omaha for medical billing and coding, although I do not have my coding license, and am currently set to graduate from Northeast Community College in May of 2023 with my Associate's in Health Information Management with my RHIT license.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• transparency among the school board
• Medical decision making stays out of the schools board
• keeping taxes low

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am very passionate about paying attention to what teachers are teaching the students and if it is appropriate not only for their age group, but if it's appropriate to even be taught in school. This would include gender theory, DEI teachings, CRT teaching, anything that has to do with sex ed. These children do not belong to the school board or the administration of schools. The students are there to learn about math, science, the correct history, and reading/English. The medical decisions of the students also do not belong to the school board. Those decisions are between parents and doctors. The school board has overstepped their boundaries for years and it is time they realize these are not their children to control.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

confident

strong
care deeply about children's success

passionate

What legacy would you like to leave?

One that people know I was trying to do the right thing with the purest intentions.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I remember the columbine shooting in Colorado. It was 1999 so I would've been in 2nd grade, maybe 3rd grade. I understood what was happening, just not the magnitude of it.

What is the primary job of a school board member in your view?

To make sure the teachers have a board that is listening to them, helping them, encouraging them, and has their backs when they need resources or a place to go to get what they need from and for their job. Also to make decisions for the student's best interests, not what is in the best interest of certain political parties and agendas.

Who are your constituents?

My constituents are not only the parents and the students, but any community member who pays taxes and feels their tax dollars are not being spent properly. Also anyone who is concerned about the direction the schools are headed.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Empower Nebraska

Describe your ideal learning environment for students.

I prefer to see students being taught subjects that will benefit them in the future and do not rot their minds with indoctrination. Politics of both sides need to stay away from children. They need to be taught subjects that matter and help their mind develop. It is not the school's job to fill their heads with any thing that is not directly related to the core school subjects.

How do you feel like your school district handled the coronavirus pandemic? What, if anything, would you do differently in the future?

I think they did a very poor job. Zoom learning should NEVER be an option. No benefits come from having a child sitting in front of a computer for hours upon hours. Also, masking should NEVER be mandated by ANY government entity. There is no reason for is and is completely against a person's right to medical and religious freedom. Forcing children to cover half of their face so they cannot breathe properly, unable to see another person's smile. Isolating children from one another as if they have the plague. Putting plastic barriers in-between desks and not allowing students to talk to one another during lunch time in fear of spreading germs. Forcing kids to stay 6ft apart from each other during recess and gym. All of these things added together and people wonder why children have mental health problems and have problems paying attention in school. Absolutely sickening. A communist training camp is what it was.
