| Collapse all
- Protecting the Unborn - I believe that every human life, from conception to natural death, deserves protection and respect. I am committed to advocating for pro-life legislation, supporting alternatives to abortion, and providing comprehensive support for women facing unplanned pregnancies. My stance is clear: I believe in the sanctity of life and will work tirelessly to defend the rights of the unborn.
- I affirm the importance of traditional family values and believe that the sanctity of marriage is only between one biological man and one biological woman. Strong families form the foundation of a thriving society. I will champion policies that support Oklahoma families and oppose any attempts by the government to usurp parental authority, whether through intrusive government regulations such as the tyrannical vaccination mandates, or devastating curriculum such as critical race theory, or government overreach in our child welfare policies. My administration will work tirelessly to strengthen parental rights in all facets of public policy, ensuring that families remain the backbone, and cornerstone of our thriving society.
- Government Vouchers I firmly oppose government education vouchers for several reasons, one being their potential link to encroaching on our Second Amendment rights. These vouchers often come with hidden regulations that can affect parents' rights, including the right to bear arms. Accepting vouchers may inadvertently subject families to government oversight, turning their homes into quasi-government schools where firearm possession could be restricted. This violates our fundamental liberties and undermines the very essence of parental choice in education. We must safeguard our rights and resist any policies that erode our freedoms under the guise of educational reform.
My all-time favorite film is called 'Amazing Grace'. It is about William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery.
I believe that Community Engagement and being actively involved in the local community and accessible to constituents, attending events, listening sessions, and town hall meetings to stay connected and responsive to their needs.
I believe that an elected official should be participating in the legislative process by proposing bills, voting on legislation, and collaborating with colleagues to enact laws that benefit constituents and uphold conservative values.
