REOPEN SCHOOLS

The shut down of our schools did not stop the spread of COVID-19 and has caused irreparable educational harm to our children in the state of Maryland, particularly the most disadvantaged students. Lauren vocally supported the ReOpen Schools effort.

PROTECT PARENTAL RIGHTS

You have your child's best interest at heart. Your children do not belong to the state. That means you may make the choices you feel are best for your family without fear of being molested by the government! Including, but not limited to, supporting School Choice and protecting Homeschool Rights!

PROTECT LIBERTY

COVID-19 has shown us how quickly our government can become tyrannical. The policy decisions made to allegedly curb this virus have utterly failed and have no data to support their effectiveness. Making policy that restricts citizen rights for the sake of appearing as though you are in control is the very definition of tyranny. Mandates of ANY KIND are unacceptable and should not be tolerated by a free people!
