You're not going to see me ever be partisan. I'll never take a position on a candidate or an issue.

When you have Candidate A saying the sky is blue, and Candidate B saying it's a cloudy day, I look outside and I see, well, it's a cloudy day. I should be able to tell my viewers, 'Candidate A is wrong, Candidate B is right,' and not have to say, 'Well, you decide.' Then it would be like I'm an idiot.

I'm a mom, and my view of public education begins and ends with the fundamental question: Is this good for children?
