Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a near life-long resident of Colerain, I have benefitted from 60 years of intimate knowledge of the township. I have won numerous awards for my volunteer services including from Scripps Howard Broadcasting, United Way, Mt. St. Joseph, Childrens' Hospital, Kindervelt, and Make A Wish Foundation.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati, Summa Cum Laude, with a degree in Legal Studies and was subsequently deemed an expert in administrative law (government regulations and policy). I have operated my own business for almost 30 years, demonstrating an ability to upstart, reform, and operate on a successful business model. I have served as volunteer director and now mentor for nonprofits that serve average residents in disputes with government bodies and represented more residents in administrative hearings than anyone else in the state - winning all but 3 cases. I retired in January 2023, early, due to health issues and founded a new nonprofit called the Colerain Council of Neighborhoods which provide 15 community-building events, free to residents, reinvigorating the Northgate Mall facility as a community center.

Running for trustee was never a goal, it is an obligation to serve when bearing the gifts, education, and opportunities afforded me.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• RESIDENT FIRST AGENDA; Residents should be the first priority of elected officials, not corporate profits. Resident property rights must be protected, not used as a bargaining chip to benefit huge conglomerates.
• FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY: Colerain is in FISCAL CRISIS, according to elected officials. They have blown through an $11m surplus and brought on a $5m deficit. The current trustees buy what they want and beg what they need - like a tax levy to compensate for their own malfeasance. An elected official must work within their budgets and curtail costs through earnest competitive bidding and maximizing ingenuity.
• POLICING: Policing is a mandated service that is to be paid for from our general fund. Police should be the first bill paid and always be a priority. Under my leadership, our police will be fully funded, first.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Residents' rights are a priority in Colerain Township. Trustees have aggressively harmed residents property rights in favor of business interests. Resident needs are last in line as a priority and it needs to be reversed.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I am inspired by the life of John Lewis.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Temperance, balance, knowledge, ingenuity, aspirations.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Compliance with law. Fairness. Diversity. Passionate. Driven.

What legacy would you like to leave?

To leave Colerain better than I found it.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Moon landing

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Volunteer candy-striper at Providence Hospital. I realized I was different than most people driving home one Sunday morning. I saw a bumper sticker on the hooptie in front of me. It said: Am I my brothers' keeper? The answer is YES, stupid". I live by that bumper sticker. It is my job to help others when I can.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Harry Potter series. I just loved it.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Not fictional, but a movie was made about her. I wanted to be Norma Rae when I grew up.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

"They can't kick you in the ass unless you're out in front". My mentor delivered this mantra when I was upset over the attacks from people who didn't agree with my advocacy. Being the subject of outlandish ridicule and lies is very hard to bear.

Candidates hear many personal stories from voters. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching or memorable?

The story of a single mom named AW changed my life as an advocate. She came to me claiming that the state had stolen her child support. She begged me to review it. I doubted her, but took on the task. I found the state had actually stolen from her and her child over $6k . I did test cases all over Ohio to see if this had happened to other, primarily, poor, uneducated black moms. It had. The case ended up being a class action for which the governor issued an executive order requiring the return of $32 m to 160K women in Ohio. This case taught me the power and value of researching systemic issues wherein I was able to help hundreds - thousands - in 1 swoop instead of litigating case by case for decades. That lesson, brought to me by AW was worth $6k to her, but it was a priceless lesson to learn to help moving forward in helping more people at 1 time.

What is an accomplishment that you are proud of?

I am proud of the fact that I still stand tall and continue on my advocacy quests regardless of the criticism and attacks. It is hard.
