She has been a Spanish teacher in both public and independent schools and has worked as a Sunday School Director for over 10 years. Elizabeth has a master's degree in Educational Administration and has served as a volunteer in community and faith-based nonprofit organizations.
Elizabeth has a first-grade son in the Franklin Special School District and has volunteered on the school's parent advisory committee for the past two years. She also has two preschool daughters. She teaches Spanish and coordinates Sunday School teachers on a part-time basis as she campaigns for the Tennessee State Legislature in District 63.- Our community deserves a leader with integrity who represents everyone, not the special interests. That's why I'm running to be your state representative in District 63.
- Expanding Medicaid in Tennessee is the first step we need to take to ensure that all Tennesseans have access to affordable healthcare. We are one of only 14 states across the country that have not expanded Medicaid, leaving almost 700,000 Tennesseans without health insurance.
- We can only have the best schools in the country if we adequately fund our school districts so that students and teachers can work together successfully in well-equipped, reasonably-sized classrooms. This is why I am opposed to the voucher system that was pushed through the state legislature by our current representative. This voucher program will take money from our public schools in order to fund private schools, making our school system less equitable for all.
