Parents should have a fundamental role in their children’s education.  

My opponent, a teacher, voted against parental notification of sexually explicit material. He chose to stand with teachers unions that continue to drive a wedge between teachers and parents.

When I was growing up, my parents and teachers were on the same team to nurture and guide me and hold me accountable. 

As a working mom, I fought to be present in my childrens’ lives and education. I am grateful that my kids’ teachers valued and respected my perspective. 

As a doctor, I know kids grow up at their own pace and “age appropriate” guidelines are no match to the insight parents have about their child's development and growth. Not every child is as mature as their age, and parents know their kids best.
