Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

It’s time to put a focus back on academic learning rather than a social emotional agenda being pushed by the present federalization of our education system. Let teachers get back to teaching academics putting responsibility and accountability back on parents to be parents. I would like to help bring Kansas back to the national average of academic learning. We need to bring transparency to the data gathering and political influencing of our children.

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?

• The conservative choice for public education
• Academics first!!
• Stop the leftist direction of our schools

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Statewide parents are concerned about academics coming first in their child’s education. There’s also a lot of concern regarding objective topics such as gender identity and racial issues in regards to CRT! I would like to put politics to the side and focus on children’s learning to get them the most adequately ready for life after school whether they decide to go straight into the workforce, vocational school or trade school, or a four-year college.
