I was raised and educated in Stafford County attending Stafford Elementary School, Stafford Middle School, Brooke Point High School then graduated Magna Cum Laude at Virginia Wesleyan University. I now proudly represent the Rock Hill District on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors and am currently serving as Chairman of the Board for the second year in a row, fighting for our conservative values.
I am married to a Marine who fought in Iraq for our very freedoms that have been under constant attack by the extreme Democrats in Washington, DC. I have seen firsthand how the federal government and Veterans Affairs have failed the men and women who gave all or some for our Country.
Here’s what you need to know about me – I am not a career politician. I am a small business owner that understands the sacrifices business owners make every day. My career has been dedicated to advocating for terminally and chronically ill patients to gain access to affordable treatments for their healthcare conditions at the state and federal levels.
- As your Congresswoman, I will stop the out-of-control spending, help businesses find employees so they can get back on their feet, and oppose Biden’s big government policies and tax increases.
- In Congress, I will always stand with our law enforcement and ensure they have the resources and equipment they need to keep us safe. I will DEFEND qualified immunity for each and every officer across the country. We must DEFEND - not defund – our men and women in blue.
- As your representative in Congress, I won’t be silenced. I will stand up to Biden and his liberal allies and stop unconstitutional government mandates that strip away your personal freedoms and I will stand with parents to make decisions for their children, not government bureaucracies.
Protected law enforcement and first responders, helping to secure one of the largest pay increases in my first year and annual pay increases for the brave men and women who keep us safe.
Stood with parents and students and voted to strip funding from Stafford schools that taught Critical Race Theory.
Helped secure $96 million in funding to repair damaged roads and bridges in my district.
Kept our students safe by demanding that School Resource Officers remain in schools.
Never voted to increase taxes on residents.
