Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Gold Star Daughter, small business owner, and mother of four who believes leadership begins with service. My father, Captain Jonathan Ross Edwards, USMC, gave his life in 1991 protecting injured soldiers during Operation Desert Storm. My mother faced her final battle with cancer with courage and grace, passing under my care. From them, I learned that true service is about responsibility, integrity, and sacrifice. Today, my husband and I are raising our family here in Bell County, where I own a local business and serve in roles that demand trust and accountability. Service is not about rank or reward; it’s about doing what’s right, even when no one’s watching.

I have dedicated my career to stewardship, serving as Treasurer for the Belton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Pink Boots Society, Legislative Co-Chair for the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, and a public school teacher. In each role, I have managed resources with transparency, modernized systems, and fought waste. I understand what it means to be entrusted with public funds.

Bell County families are tightening their belts while the county spends over $900,000 annually on a Treasurer’s Office that duplicates the work of the County Auditor. My mission is to serve with fiscal responsibility and eliminate waste. If elected, I will serve faithfully, then recommend this office be eliminated so your tax dollars go to deputies, teachers, and roads. I’m not running to build a career; I’m running to rebuild trust.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• We will modernize payments. Right now we have four full time cashiers that collect payments for the departments that haven't modernized yet. We will work with the departments who don't already collect payments to collect payments and provide an online payment portal for all of the county.
• We will modernize accounting. We will create an appointed CPA position that can run the accounting for the county. This will allow us to actually lower the number of accounting clerks we hire.
• We will modernize investing. Instead of trying to day trade with county funds we will set up a passive set it and forget it investment strategy that maximizes safety and returns within the bounds of state law. This will allow us to not hire full time staff dedicated to investing the county's funds. After these three steps, we can eliminate the Treasurer's office, save the taxpayer's even more money, and let the commissioners .

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about taxpayer protection. People work hard for their money. The least we can do is use it in the most efficient way possible.
