Klacik said she wanted families to choose how children were educated, and that choice would be important after the coronavirus pandemic. She said she would "support school choice, vouchers, and a 100% tax credit for home schooling."

Klacik said the "American people have the right to protect their families against criminals and unwell individuals who may seek to harm them."

Klacik said she supported a private-sector plan for healthcare in which "any individual, including self-employed individuals, would be allowed to form associations for the purpose of purchasing group health insurance."
