In 2016, I founded Full Armour Swim Team, an outspoken Faith Based Youth Club Sports Program, which at the time was one of the few Independent Christian Sports Programs in the country and remains to the best of our knowledge the only Christian Swim Team in the United States.
As a Christian Business Owner, I have been attacked for our views and beliefs, and we have not quivered in our mission. Currently State Law has created contradictions in the protections of one's religious beliefs and the woke agenda.- As the owner of, Full Armour Swim & Sports Teams, I understand the implications of laws being passed requiring a higher minimum wage, FMLA and increased cost of unemployment.
The rising tax burden is causing businesses to shutter and local economies have been negatively impacted by giving more privileges and advantages to conglomerates and multi-national corporations. The implications are astronomical as profits leave small rural economies rather than leading to prosperous communities.
The rights of small business owners to stay true to themselves and their faith in the State of Colorado has been fought over and over. Businesses who fail to bend to the radical left are being attacked and sued for staying true to their belief and faith. - When Americans get to keep more of their hard earned money, local communities benefit and the economy flourishes because money is cycled amongst the community for exchange of goods and services. When money is pulled away from citizens to centralized government controlled spending, that money is effectively pulled out of local economies. I will vote no on efforts to raise taxes or on bills that will require additional taxation. I believe that a law should be passed outlawing statements that wrongly influence voters to vote to keep taxes that are sunsetting.
- Government entities believe they know better than parents when it comes to healthcare and education decisions affecting our youth in Colorado. Colorado law currently does not require consent of a child's parent to receive an abortion, receive the HPV, Hepatitis A and B vaccine or receive treatment for sexually transmitted infections. State funds are being used to inform students of this information at the cost to the taxpayer. Schools are choosing to assess student mental health, with only a notification to opt-out. If elected I will fight to end any law that allows for passive parental consent and require informed consent when it comes to research, medical decisions and treatment.
As the famous Rev. Billy Graham once said, "A coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime.”
More important, when asked about Gender, 33% of teachers said that Gender can be different than what is assigned at birth, 14% stated that Gender is assigned at birth, and 50% simply stated Gender shouldn’t be taught in schools. The research indicated that 50% of teachers are not willing to teach sound Biology teaching that has been accepted since the beginning of time.
As a Swim Coach and Team Owner, we have fought policies and have taken a firm stance against woke ideological policies , which require the rooming of biological males with biological females.
I have watched our schools and medical professionals fail our youth and have answered and responded to countless calls in the middle of the night regarding an athlete who was threatening to harm themselves.
As a youth leader, I have heard the conversations in group studies about the current societal thinking of the normalization of suicide and over half of my athletes and
students have known someone who has taken their own life.
The society our youth live in are drawing them further and further away from Traditional Family Values, and taking away the rights of parents to direct their children back to Godliness and away from the destructive ideologies schools and culture are driving them towards.
