Provide access to state government to your constituents
I became a teacher - first in the Catholic Schools and later an Elementary School Counselor in the Public Schools. I started with a degree in Music Education and Music Therapy, and used that training throughout my career to enhance the ability for children to express their experiences that words alone could not. Continuing my own education with a Masters in Counseling Psychology, I worked with children from all over the Kansas City area. I chose to raise my own children in a highly diverse community. I celebrate and cherish the spiritual community that I belong to here who celebrate and cherish our diversity.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
