I am a Christian, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a foster mom, and a proud American. I have lived in the 7th district of Alabama since I was 13 years old. This district is diverse and full of heart and kindness.
I have taught in this district and raised a family here.  Currently, I am working on my doctorate in Special Education through a graduate assistantship.  I love learning new things and facing new challenges.  I absolutely love this country with all my heart.  I am running for Congress because I think it is time for everyday people to stand up and support our great country.                                  
  • I support our military and proudly back the blue.
  • I support our second amendment rights.
  • I want secure borders and I believe that immigrants should come to our country legally.
I support our military. I am pro-life. I support our 2nd amendment rights. I support strengthening our borders. I back the blue. I believe in this country, and I know it is the greatest nation in the world! The agenda of the Left is trying to destroy the place I love, and I can not sit back any longer and just let it happen.

I am not for the Socialist agenda that is currently being pushed down our throats.
My guidebooks are the Bible and The Constitution!

Despite what you are hearing...
We, the people- CAN make a difference!
We, the people- ARE the majority and
WE, THE PEOPLE- ARE READY TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

I am passionate about the rights of the unborn.
I am also passionate about children with special needs
I am passionate about foster care.
I am passionate about the teachers of this country.

I am passionate about the poor in our country and I am passionate about people who struggle with addiction.
My mother. She is a fighter and the strongest person I know. Her faith in God is an inspiration to me and is what lead me to give my life to Christ when I was young.
Speaking the truth and standing on what they say they will do.
I am hard worker. I know that a good leader is a servant leader. I wouldn't make or ask anyone to do something that I would not do myself. I am a team player and respect the people I am working with.

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ, Colossians 3:23-24
A legacy of proclaiming Christ in my words and my actions.
Desert Storm happened when I was in high school and I had friends who had family members who were sent to fight.
I worked at a local restaurant, Pam's Bakery and Deli in Moundville, Alabama while attending high school. I only works at Pam's for a short time because I got a job at Quinceys Steakhouse in Tuscaloosa where I made a little bit more money.
The Bible - it is Gods love letter to me
Excepting Gods way above and before my way. Being patient and learning when to wait. Being the person God wants me to be even in difficult situations.
The US House of Representatives is the PEOPLES house. It is where every day people are the voice of their district. It is supposed to be the voice of it's people. That is what made it so unique. It is not that way anymore. It has turned into the politicians house and that is not what it was designed for.
Yes, to a degree or an extent, but not 30 years of experience. That is not what our Founding Fathers had envisioned when they created the House of REPRESENTATIVES. When a representative stays in Washington too long they are so far disconnected from the people- they are no longer productive or representative of their district.
Some of our greatest challenges are foreign policy, immigration, border security, and our hard hit economy.
I would love to be on committees that deal with foreign policy and our economy.
I believe in what the Constitution says about representatives.
I don't have a particular one but Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Kevin McCarthy, Cawthorn, and Majorie Taylor Green are rocking it out right now! Speaking the truth when everyone else wants to be an echo!
I do believe in compromise to a certain extent. No compromise is worth losing your testimony. I do not believe in compromising so much that you lose site of your convictions or what you believe in.
A big role because our district needs better opportunities and our district needs someone who unashamedly will stand up for them no matter what!
