  • "First working for the Montana Family Foundation, and then as Founder of grassroots groups Montanans for School Choice and Montanans Against Common Core. Working to restore local control to schools, she was awarded the Milton Friedman Champion of Education Freedom award." (debralamm.com)
  • "The federal and state governments have built a wall higher and higher between parents, teachers and students. Today Washington, D.C. and Helena create endless mandates that over-burden our teachers and hamper our students. The result? Instead of success, this top-down system has created lower academic achievement for students and a loss of professional freedom for teachers. I believe that parents, in conjunction with local school districts and teachers, should be returned to the driver's seat. Only then can communities help each student to reach his or her potential." (votesmart.org)
  • "When Common Core came into our schools, I quickly organized a group to fight it. ‘Montanans Against Common Core’ took on the teachers’ union. That wouldn’t be my last fight with the education establishment." (debralamm.com)
  • "Responsible production and sensible conservation comes naturally to most of us who call Montana home. But this has made us a target. Obsolete viewpoints and false premises are used to stop us from exercising our rights to develop our State's resources and protect our lands as we deem appropriate. We are forced to suffer the consequences of a stagnant national energy policy and over-zealous regulatory agencies, instead of harnessing our resources and at the same time improving our economy and creating new jobs." (votesmart.org)
  • "Healthy extraction is real and unfortunately Montana has become a pawn to the climate change activists and the Agenda 21 proponents. The Democratic Party no longer is the party for skilled labor. " (www.john4congress2020.com)
  • "A good guy with a gun stops a shooter after he kills 2, saving the lives of dozens of others in a Texas church. While in New York, all it takes is a sharp blade to slaughter 5 among the unarmed in a synagogue. I will *never* back down fighting to preserve our right to protect ourselves. Heartfelt prayers for all." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Giving thanks for no arrests or violence reported at the Richmond VA #2A rally today. Responsible gun owners demonstrated peacefully for our Constitutional rights. We cannot forget that the Second Amendment is the one that ensures all the other Amendments." (www.facebook.com)
