Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

To Serve the Families of Macomb County; not be a county store, to be

"The People's Clerk" keeping their records low-cost, accurate and secured.

I have various experience in Business, Management, and Accounting. Along with lots of experience in the Macomb County Clerk office in managing the Register of Deeds as well as the Vital Records and Court offices of the County Clerk bringing them daily up-to-date with helpful proficient staff.

After being an Election Inspector and Chair of many Precincts over the years I am well versed on Elections, as well as, Vital Records to make sure we have Election integrity and accuracy in the Election process to ensure safe and fair elections in Macomb County. Vital Records and Deeds, as well as Court Records are the people's most critical documents and need to be readily available with accuracy and security to every resident and their families.

Family is very important. The County Clerk solely holds this office and no other elected office in order to serve and protect the people of Macomb County; and is most needed to be elected by The People in our County. so that all their critical records are available at the lowest cost to record and process when the residents need them; and keeping them safe and secure for their families.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• To provide election integrity for the Voters in Macomb County by using

  "We The People's" system of hand counting ballots with proof of citizenship and one day voting.

  The election machines have failed the residents in Macomb County. The State provided poor equipment from the beginning that was not ready for use. Most other countries do not use voting machines because of security issues. Elections need to go back to a We The People system of processing the ballots for a secure and fair election.
• Provide a website for all Candidates/Proposals before the election to increase voter participation. As a long time Precinct Delegate in Macomb County I have continued to encourage every resident to vote in every election. The key to helping voters vote in every election is information on what is on the ballot. I would be developing an Election Website to assist the voters in knowing about every Candidate and getting early information to the voters about Proposals coming on the ballots so that residents in Macomb County can make well informed decisions on each of their own ballots. I would like to see the Sample Ballot process more available to the residents so they know what they are voting for on their personal ballot.
• Conduct the "People's Audit" with every election. Secure audits should be done on every election with the people seeing the accuracy in conducting these audits, not an outside company with no check and balance system in place to prove the validity of every vote to the voters. One day voting is the best for this accuracy with proof of citizenship. Voter rolls should be validated each election. I would like to see every voter vote by making it a holiday to vote.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am a Courageous Constitutional Conservative.

I am 100 percent Pro Life and the only candidate who is truly PRO LIFE.
Yes, I support Donald Trump for President. He is our President!
I support Making America Great Again because we live in the Greatest Country in the world.
Yes, I know the 2020 Election was stolen. I was in the Macomb County Clerk's office and we
witnessed the fixed election happening in 2016 and that is why the fake news covered it up
with lies upon lies about what was really happening. Truth will prevail.

Hold on THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to my previous bosses who have taught me how to manage with honesty and integrity. I learned so much at a young age about serving others as a leader. I learned to use common sense, reliable, quality, and trustworthiness to every area I managed but also to everyone I managed. Leaders lead but leaders need to serve as well.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Bible is the Greatest Book and I carry this with me in all positions I have held.
President Donald J. Trump and President Ronald Reagan are two of the Best Presidents I have supported and helped with their campaigns running for President of The United States of America. The Greatest Nation.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty and Integrity are critical for the County Clerk and Register of Deeds position as the Keeper of all the documents, records and deeds for all the residents to keep them accurate and secured. I am an Organized Educator who has served my community in many ways. After many years of being a Election Precinct Chair and Election Inspector assisting with the Election process for the community. As Prior Deputy of Register of Deeds my hardworking experience along with much knowledge in all areas of the County Clerks office are most important as well to be the County Clerk.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

My first historical event was helping President Ronald Reagan become President of the United States. I was a very educational experience as well as assisting in all areas of hardworking young grassroots team. The most memorable moment was when President Reagan went around shaking all of our hands and thanking us for all our hard work. It was an honor to serve such an honorable man for President.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Secretary for a local real estate company. I worked this position as a coop student in high school.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

As County Clerk who manages Campaign Finance for all candidates and elects I will institute a financial transparency program for accountability to all of the residents. The resident need to know who supports the candidates and elects so they can understand whom supports them. All these elects will be sworn in and attest to upholding our Constitution. The County Clerk is accountable to this sworn oath as well. These records should be opened for public knowledge and an open door policy to all finances to uphold accountability of the office for We The People. As President Abraham Lincoln stated in his Gettysburg Address :
"A Government of The People, By The People, and For The People."
