My goal is simple and makes common sense. Create a safe and secure society, build strong families, improve our schools, and give parents, teachers, and students more choices. Public safety will be a top priority.
Being a veteran with decades of federal government experience, community service, leadership, and small business ownership, I have what it takes to find solutions and get things done."
My Democrat opponent supports Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Racism, and Perversion.
Our BOYS need to learn how to be MEN! By men who know they are not women!
COREY JACKSON IS FOR "INSANITY": 1. Defunding the police. 2. Equity. 3. Children's mental disease. 4. Government tyranny. 5. Government intrusion. 6. Perversion and Transsexual lunacy. 7. More government tyranny, mandates,
dictates, and executive orders.
8. Legalizing drugs. 9. Rewarding criminals. 10. Against your parent's rights.
RON EDWARDS IS FOR COMMON SENSE: 1. Funding the police. 2. Equality. 3. Mental health for children. 4. Local school board control 5. Parents rights and control of their children 6. Common sense legislation. 7. Servant-leadership. 8. Fines for abusing and misusing drugs. 9. Rewarding business owners.
10. I am THE PARENT'S CHOICE- I will support the police!
My opponent supports criminals.
Law and Order is job one. All citizens must have safety and security. Without Law and Order there is confusion.
I will be the Law and Order candidate. In order to have social justice there must first be social order, in other words, Law and Order.
I will work to create a civil society.
I will put law abiding citizens before criminals. - No one loves your children more than you, the parent! Parent's Rights, Parental authority, and parental choice should not be undermined. I will stop for assault and attack on parent's rights surrounding their children's confusion regarding puberty, sex, and all of its challenges. Parents have a constitutionalKeep local control of education intact. School choice, with tax right to direct the upbringing of their own children . Your children do not belong to the government! CS Lewis said "children are not a distraction from more important work; children are the most important work". Good government starts at home with moms and dads who trained their children to be obedient, to be civil, to be productive to be moral, and to have family.
- Albert Einstein said "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think". Public schools are hired to provide an educational service to children. That educational service does not include sexualizing children. Education should focus on reading, writing and performing calculations, not DEI, Critical race theory, Hating America, and indoctrination! Education should focus on excellence By utilizing Honors, AP, and STEM courses. Instruction of trade classes should be used. Educate students to be productive! Keep local control of education intact. School choice, with tax funding or tax incentives for options that include homeschooling, private schools, and charter schools should be adopted.
Choose common sense over insanity!
Choose law abiding citizens over criminals!
Choose Ron Edwards over my insane Democrat opponent.
Reward work and entrepreneurism!
Reward, creativity, imagination, and Ingenuity!
Drug addiction and Vagrancy must be stopped!
Treatment centers must be built!
Free handouts must be stopped!
Everyone must go to work!
Good Judgement, fairness, honesty, and a disdain for bribes.
