My husband, Mike Melley, has been our Representative for the previous 8 years and has served our district well, and I am wanting to ensure the service continues.

A representative must have a serving heart in order to be able to do the job well. God has blessed me with service and always wanting to help people.

I hope that after I have served in this office people remember me as someone that was there for her constituents and helped when problems occurred. The district is a better place because of how she served.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
My first job was helping my brother bale hay. I drove the tractor and he loaded the bales. At this same time I would disk and combine for my dad.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
