I am a local Firebaugh home grown Central Valley resident mother of 3. I attended San Joaquin Memorial High School where I graduated in 2001. I dabbled in the medical field at 18- early 20's as a Medical Assistant and Phlebotomist while also working in In-Home Healthcare and taking care of my Grandma Pearl(BFF). I married, had 2 children when my Parents Butch & Janie Fleming of Firebaugh lured me back into the family business so that I could have the flexibility while raising my children. I've since remarried my best friend and mother by choice to my 3rd child.
       * I've always been vigilant over my children, evolved in their education, making sure they have faith at their core. I am my father's hospital buddy who fights every time to make sure his delicate needs are attended to. I would never allow anyone to openly attack, misinform or take advantage of my family, our business or values.  
* We must come to the conclusion that apathy is no longer the way of life but the method in which to blind us.
Freedom.
Freedom of a 100% disclosure on medications we put in our bodies.
Freedom Of excessive tax.
Freedom to keep government accountable for their spending.
Freedom to shut down failing programs that steal from the taxpayer's pockets.

Freedom to work without a vaccine provision.

Freedom to breathe fresh air Because it is the most basic of rights.
Freedom to pray where we'd like and for others to do the same while respecting each other.
Freedom to send your tax paying dollars with your child to a school of your choice where they will succeed.
Freedom to walk down the street knowing that criminals are locked up.
Freedom to defend yourself and to have the law on your side to do so.
Freedom to raise your child As you choose.
Freedom to have our media and press give us the correct information and to not be a part of a propaganda agenda.
Freedom Of over regulatory red tape on businesses That do not allow us to succeed.
Freedom to carry a firearm.

Freedom of educational corruption of CRITICAL RACE THEORY and Comprehensive Sex Education .
Freedom to have educators with your same belief teaching your children.

Freedom to pursuit happiness.
Freedom of government overreach.
Freedom of the unborn.

Freedom of speech.

Freedom that could be POSSIBLE if our lawmakers followed the Supreme law of the land- The Constitution of the United States
I look up to my mother. Janie Fleming. She is a very strong Latina woman That is very proud of her work ethics and small Empire that has built with my dad. My mom is very strong willed And never backs down from a fight. A common phrase growing up was " Put up or shut up". Meaning that if you complain you'd better be ready to do something about the situation. And another strong principle of hers is that " Bad behavior should never Tolerated. The fault lies with those who allow it to continue". And finally the Serenity prayer. Her and my dad always taught me that without risk there is no reward And that is a true heart of an entrepreneur. There is no way that I would be as strong as I am today without my mother.

Another woman that I look up to is her mother, my grandmother, Connie Meza. Grandma is originallyan illegal Mexican immigrant. She talks about her struggles crossing the Rio to come to this country with her baby on her back. Laying over him at night to keep him warm while I'll carrying a disco to cook on was the way of life. With hard work and resilience. She ran a boarding house and later became a permanent Resident. She takes pride having always paid her share of taxes and only receiving from the system for 18 months then kicked off due to the children having to many clothes. She is stoll with us at 86 yrs old and just as stubborn as ever.

So I guess you could say I'm 3rd Generation Fighter.
Integrity and honesty. We are real people that make mistakes and can't know it all. Do your best and be honest about who you are, that way you never become a slave to deceit.
To uphold the OATH OF UPHOLDING AND DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION
Being a part of the change in CA . Giving the power back yo the people
I remember when the twin towers fell. It was the year I graduated in 2001. I had just gotten to my English class at Fresno city college when the teachers were rushing us to the library to look up articlesOf the event.Of course my heart was broken to see such an event.For some reason that night my family at home was sick and every one of my family members watched the video of the planes hitting the towers in the early morning on the West Coast.
It's hard to say. I've worked at Ag & Industrial since I was A kid. Honestly I never remember a time that I didn't work , besides being at home ready to have my children.
But my 1st job outside of the family business Was for Healthline Clinical Laboratories in Fresno as a phlebotomist.. I think I worked there about a year before being offered a job as a medical assistant in Orosi, California.
My divorce. It was the fight I never thought I could fight. But I found my self worth through my struggle and found my courage. Though we have a co-parenting friendly relationship now, he was a most fierce opponent. I now know I was being groomed for a much bigger fight.
Naturally an IDEAL situation would be that both were of the same beliefs to accomplish as much as possible. But as long as their can be a respect anything is attainable.
Medical Freedom, water for the Valley and our education system.
It is beneficial but not necessary. Coming in "fresh" to the game allows for a critical eye. Whereas someone who has been a part of the system becomes accustomed to being a part of it.
Absolutely. We are unable to change without unity. But as I said before, it is time to dig our heals in the ground and stop government overreach. Some values cannot be compromised.
This should be a fair process. Equal input on both sides for a fair process.
I hadn't foreseen running for this office. I am open to what the future may bring.
I have been hearing the people's concern about the corruption in California and modeling it to that of Mexico's. No my words. TWO different stories. Both said if they had known it was going to be this bad here, they may not have relocated.
I hear of many immigrants that are very proud to have come legally and upset over the current administration's open door policy.
Yes. We are no longer in a state of Emergency. This power us being abused and should not be kept in the governors back pocket for future convenience use.
Yes, to an extent. We have gone so far out of our normal realm of values, there also need to be a resistance to tyrannical end to our Freedoms. Everyone deserves pursuit of happiness. Everyone.
