I am a grassroots America First Patriot. I grew up on Harsen’s Island. Moved to California when I was 19. God brought me back to my home State in 2015. While in California I went to a couple junior colleges. Was hired by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and later went to work for the Anaheim Police Department where I was also a Matron. I am also a Certified Nurse’s Assistant. I was married to a Police Sergeant for 21 years. Me he RIP. I have 2 children grown and living on their own and 2 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild will graduate next year. How time flys! I started getting involved in politics when I saw how President Trump was being treated during his first term. I am a candidate that will represent my district with everything I have. I will be your voice, your eyes, and your ears. Less government and more power to the people!
  • Citizens should always come before illegals. Our legislators should be protecting their citizens and doing everything to protect, keep us safe, and pass bills that help the people.
  • We need to secure our elections. We need to pass/change rules/laws that will reduce the ability to cheat as much as possible. Our votes matter and should not be allowed to be stolen from us.
  • Securing our borders. Every immigrant who came here illegally should be deported. We need to uphold the law of the land. We need to protect our citizens.
We need to protect the children. They need to feel, safe, loved, wanted, and free to be a child. Free of pornography, free of transgender teachings, free of child mutilation. Free from grooming. Our schools are failing the parents, failing the children, and failing society as a whole.
I like Princess Diana. She never changed who she was no matter what the circumstances she faced. She never lost site of her love and concern for the people. We shouldn’t either.
The word of God should be our foundation. Our forefathers were Christian’s and the Bible was their foundation and we should never leave site of that!
They need to be trustworthy, honest, self controlled, free from love of money, love what is good, and won’t accept a bribe. We as voters need to raise the standard. Corruption, lying, and stealing should not be tolerated. We need candidates with morals and integrity.
Knowledgeable of how government agencies work through working in Law Enforcement, standing up for people’s rights, fighting for what is right even if I’m standing alone. My motto is: Do what’s right.
To work for the people in their community. Be their voice. To vote according to what the majority of their constituents want. To do as much as possible to protect those in their district. To represent the people and uphold the constitution.
I would like to leave a legacy that I never backed down, never gave up, and never surrendered.
Space Challenger.
I started baby sitting when I was 12. I babysat up until I graduated Highschool.
The Bible. Lots of life’s lessons. No one is perfect so it’s good to see different people in different situations and how God deals with the people.
Cinderella. She never stopped being nice, believing, or doing good.
Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, sugar at supper time. Only I changed it to: Jesus in the morning, Jesus in the evening, Jesus at supper time. Just when you think it’s over, He shows up just in time.
I’m too trusting. Which makes it easy to take advantage of. No matter what: I do what’s right. Kindness matters.
Communication. We should all be working together for the common good.
To make changes for community growth, small businesses, auto industry, improve energy, safety, reduce taxes, and make a better living overall!
No, but it helps. There is politicking every where you go, the work place, church, schools, government agencies, etc….
Yes. We will never have unity or come together in agreement, or even work toward a common goal if we don’t. We should act as a team.
President Trump.
No comment.
Parents are complaining a lot right now about the pornography, sex literature, transgender teachings, and pronouns being taught or available in the libraries and want it all removed. This is not appropriate in public schools.
Can’t think of one right now.
Yes. If there is no accountability there can be tyranny and abuse of power.
Make child mutilation and youth hormone suppressing drugs illegal. A decision like this needs to be when a person is an adult and fully understands the risks and long term side effects.
Just getting started.
Elections, Education, Ethics and oversight.
Everything should be available to the people. Every government position; Governor, SOS, AG, Mayor, State Legislators, every government agency and those who contract with government agencies should be audited. Transparency a MUST!
Support. People have a right to petition for changes especially if they feel they are not being represented by their representatives.

I’m a Conservative Downriver Patriot. I Love God, my State, and my Nation. My ancestors migrated to Michigan in the early 1800s and made this beautiful State their home and so did I. I love the outdoors and meeting new people.
  • I’ve always been a fighter for justice and will never stop.
  • I will fight for my community, small businesses, and the children.
  • I will fight to improve the economy, infrastructure, and secure elections.
The economy, infrastructure, and Education.
Jesus. Man will disappoint but Jesus never will.
Read the Bible.
Honesty, integrity, morals, and not accept any bribes.
I’m a fighter, I work hard, and I won’t give up on issues I believe in and are vital for my District.
Listen to the people, represent and fight for them.
That I fought the good fight, I ran the race, and I won the prize. That I did my best!
Challenger 13. In my early 20s
My first job was as a Certified Nurses Assistant. About a year and then I moved. Resumed again later in life.
Bible. Life’s greatest lessons, history, and greatest hope.
I’m running, I’m running, I’m running to His mercy seat.
Economy, secure elections, and closing our borders.
I agree with term limits.
Making changes for our state to improve Michigan as a whole.
No, I do not. Although I have worked in Law Enforcement myself for 8 years.
Needs to stop.
We need to come together in unity. Work more closely together on key issues.
I believe we have to do everything possible to reach an agreement.
