For several years, I volunteered my time with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in Cedar Rapids sponsored by the United Way. I assisted members of our community with low and moderate incomes prepare their taxes at no charge and helped other volunteers learn how to prepare tax returns for our community.
I have spent over 25 years retail management, learning how to listen and assist customers. The most rewarding part of the job was watching high school students take on their first job and grow into the young men and women that they are today. For the last few years, I have worked with small business owners in the logistics industry, helping them start and grow their businesses into successful companies that serve eastern Iowa.- With prices at the gas station and grocery store skyrocketing, the last thing Cedar Rapids families should have to worry about is a an increase in taxes. I am committed to decreasing the tax burden on Iowa families and finding solutions to the increasing property taxes that we face to help keep money with hard working Iowans.
- Every Iowa student deserves a world class education, whether after high school they will be joining the workforce, going to trade school, community college or a four-year university. It's our job to ensure each student receives the education they need to thrive. I will fight for our children and ensure Iowa schools are preparing our children for a bright future.
- We should feel safe to walk our streets at night. WE should not have to worry about our kids on their walk home from school. I will work to keep our communities safe by supporting our law enforcement and help them adapt to a changing environment. Burdensome government barriers and regulations that fail to protect our communities need to be removed.
