Why are you seeking elective office?

I'm seeking elective office to protect children from gender ideology, to return women's sex-based rights to private spaces and sports, and to preserve our First and Second Amendment rights.

The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

New Hampshire's laws facilitate the fast-tracking of gender-confused children through chemicals and surgeries that leave them irreversibly disfigured and with life-long regret. I would repeal our child therapy ban, gender identity laws that force us to pretend a man is a woman if he says so, and define a woman as a human female. I would also ban the medicalization of gender-confused children except when they have intersex conditions.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I might be the most outspoken person in the state about the harm done by gender ideology.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

NH Senator Cindy Rosenwald has done nothing to stop the medicalization of gender-confused children. She is endorsed by the NH Stonewall Democrats, which promote transgender ideology, and Planned Parenthood, which provides wrong-sex hormones to confused minors.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

The First Amendment
We are losing our right to freedom of speech, religion, and assembly to gender ideology and critical theory. Gender identity laws are being used to compel free speech by forcing teachers, students, and public employees to use preferred pronouns. This year, our legislature considered a bill that would force even staff and students at religious schools to pretend girls are boys if they say so.

The Second Amendment
The response to riots in progressive cities demonstrate that we can’t rely on our officials to protect our lives and property, and even recent history shows us how much powerful governments despise unarmed populations. The Second Amendment is as important as ever.

Kids Need Their Moms and Dads
As President Barack Obama said in his Father’s Day speech, “Of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, we are reminded today that family is the most important. And we are called to recognize and honor how critical every father is to that foundation.”

Although no family is perfect and tragedies often separate children from their moms and dads, we know children with their own dads at home have much lower rates of mental illness, addiction, homelessness, addiction, and suicide. We need to create policies that encourage dads to stay involved in their children’s lives.

Educational Freedom
Children in low-income neighborhoods are often trapped in dangerous, underperforming public schools, while the wealthy congregate in exclusive neighborhoods and towns with top-ranked schools or send their children to expensive private schools. That’s not right. Moms and dads are the most qualified to find schools that meet their children’s needs and interests.

Pro-life
Human life begins at conception and deserves protection

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

My career as a special educator has taught me to be thorough, organized, and persistent in meeting the needs of my students in the face of complicated bureaucracy.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

My mom and dad taught me to speak up against falsehoods even if it put myself in danger. "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

Liberal activists insist we deny what we see and would force us to say two plus two equals five. I've been visiting local towns discussing the dangers of child transgenderism, and have posted billboards protesting child transgenderism. I've also worked with radical feminists to post a billboard teaching the definition of "women." As your senator, I'll fight to preserve your freedom of expression against the powerful lobbies that are institutionalizing false ideologies.
