I believe in individual responsibility and self-reliance, which I highly value

I also recognize that family is not solely defined by blood relations but by care and support. This reinforces the idea that individuals have the power to form their support networks and take care of one another.

I firmly believe that strong families are the foundation of strong communities. Recognizing non-biological connections as a family promotes inclusivity and support within communities, which fosters compassion and strengthens social bonds.

I support policies that promote adoption and foster care, as they provide stable and loving homes for children in need. Recognizing that family extends beyond blood relations helps destigmatize non-traditional family structures and encourages more individuals to consider adoption or fostering.

I believe that respecting diverse family structures respects individuals' rights to define their families based on their circumstances and relationships. This aligns with my principles of individual liberty and limited government interference in private matters.
