Expand all | Collapse all

I am a wife, a mother, a teacher and a conservative. I will fight for safer communities, a stronger Kentucky economy, and giving children the opportunity to get the best education possible. I am Pro-Life and support the 2nd Amendment.
  • Safety: I support a fully funded and staffed police force and increased pay and training for our officers. I will be tough on crime and will work to keep criminals from being released back onto our streets.
  • Economy: I support lowering our income tax. I will bring more tax dollars back to Louisville to increase funding for roads and infrastructure. We need to attract new businesses to Kentucky to create high-paying jobs and support small businesses so they will succeed and thrive.
  • Education: I support the ability for families to choose the school or learning environment that best meets the student's needs. I support vocational training. Vocational training equips students with the practical skills, knowledge, and certifications needed to enter high-demand fields such as healthcare, manufacturing, information technology, and skilled trades to pursue rewarding careers and thrive in the workforce.

Our representative should listen and be responsive to the needs of the people of Fern Creek, J-Town and Highview.
I want Louisville to be a safe and enjoyable place to live and work.
