“As a past homeschooling Mom, I don't think homeschoolers should be using tax dollars, it can lead to oversight from the State. Students should be able to take tax dollars to private institutions just like other tax dollars go to private institutions.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“I know far too many adopted children and children born before 24 weeks, viable humans should not be aborted. Everyone has the right to life and liberty even in the womb.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“Government has a spending problem, not a funding problem. The more money government receives, the more it spends. States that adopted an income tax while keeping property taxes never reduced property taxes — the only change was more spending. The best way to keep spending in check is to limit what we collect from taxpayers.” (Campaign Website)
