Notable Quotes
“I will be a tireless advocate for public education.”
“The books most often targeted are those that feature minority voices, explore social or political movements, include perspectives that fall outside a narrow political viewpoint, or contain LGBTQ+ characters. That consistency raises an important question: are these removals about protecting students, or about limiting perspectives?”
“Teachers are professionals. They know their students best.”
Positions on Texas Eagle Forum Priorities
Education Issues
- CHALLENGES FACING THE DISTRICT: "Our biggest challenge is securing adequate state funding while rising costs strain operations. We must advocate aggressively for proper funding, closely examine non‑instructional spending, and strengthen district culture to retain talented educators who are essential to student success."[1]
- SUPPORTING TEACHERS: "Teacher morale, retention, and compensation must be prioritized. Competitive pay, strong instructional resources, meaningful teacher input, and a culture of professional respect are essential to ensuring educators feel valued both inside and outside the classroom."[1]
- PREVENTING BUDGET SHORTFALLS: "Conroe ISD must monitor financial trends proactively, advocate for state funding reform, scrutinize non‑instructional expenditures, and direct available dollars toward classrooms and staff support to maintain long‑term financial stability."[1]
- ASKED THE CISD BOARD TO CREATE OPT-OUTS FOR BIBLICAL CONTENT that is “bound straight into the same reader as the regular lessons,” stating that the workload is “directly tied to the additional workload that you have created for our educators.”[1]
- CRITICIZED CURRENT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS FOR NOT ATTENDING TASB TRAINING (Texas Association of School Boards). TASB was condemned by the Republican Party of Texas for "bundling insurance with mandatory policy, legal, and training services that frequently require adoption of leftist model policies on gender identity, equity, diversity, and inclusion," and for lobbying against the bathroom bill to protect girls' private spaces in public schools.[1][2][3][4][5]
- ON BOARD POLICY: "I will lead a review of board policies to remove political and ideological language, ensuring our governance reflects the actual needs of every student, every school, and every community in CISD—not a partisan agenda."[1]
Protect Childhood Innocence
- ON REMOVING INAPPROPRIATE BOOKS FROM SCHOOL LIBRARIES: "Our community is tired of time and resources being wasted on culture wars and removing books, while critical issues like student mental health, the loss of student programs, and funding issues are being ignored. Parents—not a board of seven individuals—reserve the right to decide what their own children read."[1][2][3][4][5]
