| Collapse all
As someone with over 30 years of business experience that includes 17 years as a senior buyer at Walmart and then another 16 years owning my own small business selling products back into Walmart, I have honed the fine art of strategic thinking, problem-solving, and fiscal responsibility through thousands of tough transactions.
As a firm supporter of the 2nd Amendment, I believe that I have the right to protect myself and my family.
As a Christian, I believe that God created life and He loves all His creations equally. I am 100% Pro-Life. To me, the mantra “Love Thy Neighbor” echoes the sentiment that all life is precious and should be respected and cherished from the unborn to the elderly and everywhere in between.
Children are our future and, for most, the chance to succeed starts with having access to a quality education. I am a strong advocate for school choice, transparency in the classroom, and reject personal agendas and false ideologies that promotes division over unity.
- I will use my 30+ years of negotiating experience to strategically advance my district's needs. As someone who has worked two differing positions to a common good her whole professional career, I am ready and best equipped to face the quick-paced, big-ego arena in Little Rock.
- I have managed multi-billion dollar P&L's as well as my own small business P&L so know how to quickly and effectively assess a budget's strengths and weaknesses. Fiscal Responsibility starts with planning, progresses with accountability and follow-up. and then ends with strong implementation. Removing waste, pushing back on budget increases, and reallocating "buckets" of tax money improves the tax payer's ROI on their money.
- I will fight tirelessly for the unborn.
