I am 43 years old. I am a resident of Pekin, Illinois. I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a college graduate from Illinois Central College with my Associates Degree. I have won several awards in Journalism and the Mike Foster excellence award during my 2 years in college. I love camping, gardening and i love the water. I love fishing, boating and spending time with my family.
  • Live with Integrity, Follow with Justice.
  • To make a state great again, we must find the heartbeat that helped it prosper in the beginning.
  • God and Communication is key. Without it, you have communism.
I am passionate about Education, our Military and Healthcare. I have several bills ready to push through the minute I am in office.
I look up to my father. He is a Vietnam Vet and survived raising me! I would love to follow my dad's example becasue not only did he raise myself and my brother, he held high morals and values. He always taught us to be kind, think before acting on anything, even think twice sometimes. He taught me what it was like to appreciate the military and the men and women who served. He taught me how to overcome even the hardest obstacles. More importantly, he taught me to never give up on my dreams. He is my hero.
Transparency, for sure. It is important for someone that is running to be strasight from the beginning. Friendly and approachable are good qualities. I think a great quality would also be relatability. Can they relate to the public? Do they really understand?
I believe my experiences with business, journalism, sales, and marketing will give me the business edge for the U.S. Senate seat in 2022. I believe becasue i am relatable and I care what the voters have to say that I will make an outstanding senator. I tackle the real/hard issues with solutions, not fluff.
Simple. Do what is best for your state and the people in it. Always have the best intersest of the people at heart. Do not make empty promises. Be real with the poeple as it trluy is the poeples seat. I believe someone with core knowledge about the issues and someone that actually has solutions would be best fitted for this seat.
I would like to leave the legacy of completion to my state. What i mean by that, is everything i proimise, every piece of legislation that i intend to pass needs to be completed. I want to show the Illinois voters what its like to have someone in office that stays loyal to the people and makes good on their word. I want the people to trust thier government again.
In 1989, the Berlin Wall camw down. I was 12 years old.
My very first job was at a store in Dallas Texas that sold bagged HOPPS for purposing sealed packages to make beer. I had that job a full year before advancing to a diffeent path.
For Liberty by Pon Paul. It outlines what freedom looks like and leans hard on the Constitution.
Sherlock Holmes.
Matisyaho- One Day
The biggest strugglein my life was batteling cancer several times and attending college while being sick. The pure determination and will power that i had was what got me through
To list a few, rising food/water/energy prices, (for Illinois)-population decrease, resource depletion, terrorism, climate change and infrastructure issues, such as roads, bridges and other key items that are being neglected.
The U.S. Senate holds prestige and grace for the United States. It is an amazing and unique becasue real legislation gets passed in the senate. its a chance for representitives to make positive, healthy changes for the people they represent. It is an institution that creates great minds from dfferent states and allows those individuals to work together to make thier state better for the people. The U.S. Senate is where the future leaders are.
Actually, this day and age, some experience is good but i think it makes for a better place when you have someone in office that understands and has been through real struggles. We need people in office that know what its like to have to work and fight for what you have. The U.S. Senate needs a touch of realness from everyday citizens that actually hear the people they represent.
Having a fillibuster-free world, would actually expose senators to more direct accountability.
I think the ctiteria in place is fine. It should divide the responsability between the two branches, the president and the sente for the nomination. I think the vetting process needs to remain extensive and any backlash needs to be reviewed.
Yes. I have a passion for the veterans, so that is something i would look into.
I am not a current senator.
I really like Josh Hawley. He is not scared to voice his opinion yet he also listens to his constituents.
Why do Communists drink herbal tea? Because proper tea is theft.
I would conduct a list of appropriate questions that would either invalidate the nominee or validate their purpose for running. I would discuss their purpose for running and what their game plan would be once seated.
I would build a positive, uplifting relationship. One that can forge good ommunications to reach the betterment of the Senate for the people. I work well with others and utilize everyones strengths for a better tomorrow.
