Haubrich completed a voter guide profile for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
| “ | What are your top priorities for the district?
My top priorities for the Mehlville School District are the following: 1. Find ways to collaborate with the parents and teachers in the district to improve academic achievement scores. 2. Finally bring fiscal responsibility to the Mehlville School Board so that we can live within our means and 3. Work to get and keep local control of curriculum. Why are you qualified to serve in this office? My education background, which includes graduating from Mehlville School District (1999), BYU-Idaho with a bachelor's in history education and Michigan State's College of Law with a J.D. along with having worked with clients, taxpayers, students and parents, has given me the experience necessary to understand the needs of the community and the challenges Mehlville faces.[4] |

| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| "They should not be implemented." | |
| "This should be up to the community, but at this time there is no money in the budget to consider this at this time." | |
| "The state should allow parents as many options as possible when it comes to how best to educate their children" | |
| "They can be an accurate metric for student achievement. There are many forms to determine how best a student is acheiving, but right now only standardized tests is what we have to go off of when determining how our school district is doing." | |
| "Find ways to continue to challenge the high achieving students, while at the same time redirecting resources to help the low achieving students improve." | |
| "Expulsion should be used for serious offenses to ensure the safety of other students as well as the integrity of education at district schools." | |
| "The school board should be working to determine what is the cause of the school failing and address those issues first to see if the school can be turned around." | |
| "I support all options of determining teacher pay. There is no one size fits all, so I'd be interested in learning what other options there are out there in determining teacher pay." | |
| "Set up a mentorship program for the underperforming teacher with a more experienced teacher in the district." | |
| "I would make sure that the school board was transparent as possible with the community so that the community knew the good and the bad of what was going on in the school. I would reach out to the community so have them give us their ideas for improving the school and make sure that the community felt as though they were a part of the decision making of the school district. I'm not sure the community feels as though it is truly part of the decision making process at Mehlville." |
