"Bean has strong feelings about LGBTQ+ rights, and has friends and relatives who are bisexual. If they are born a female, she expects them to be in a female bathroom, and vice versa.

"Bean said she isn’t against what people do with their bodies, but thinks it is important to protect the privacy of women from biological men. Instead, she suggested having transgender specific bathrooms to alleviate concern.

"'I don’t feel that women should be forced to have a biological male next to them in a restroom.'"

"Bean said she never wants to see the Second Amendment taken away, and believes strongly in the right to bear arms. She said every individual should have the right to own a gun to defend themselves.

"'They teach you relatively young,' Bean said. 'My husband always told me he was 8 years old hunting. He was extremely confident, and so were his parents.'"
