Option 2 – What specific steps would you take to address new restrictions on abortion access: Dobbs v Jackson women’s health returned this issue to state legislative bodies, I’ll fight any effort to legislate federal control of the issue on either side short of an actual amendment to the constitution.

Option 3 –  What specific steps would you take to address economic stress from higher prices for gas, groceries and other goods: Switching to the fairtax will allow businesses to lower prices due to reduced compliance costs, workers will be able to get more of their income & make more with the elimination of income tax plus the “prebate” will put money back in their pockets.

The Board of Education should NOT address differences in learning based on race or income. If ANY child has trouble learning they should be given extra attention and afforded the opportunity to seek aid for basic cognitive abilities and comprehension. Ethnicity and income are irrelevant.

How should the Board of Education address disparities in learning for students of different races and family incomes?

All students must be held to the same behavioral and academic standards. The Board’s failed COVID policies disproportionately hurt socioeconomically disadvantaged students. By focusing on core academics – not the latest “social justice” fads – we can narrow this achievement gap.

How should the Board of Education address disparities in learning for students of different races and family incomes?

All teachers, staff and administration should be required to take a class in cultural and ethnic differences.
