I am a business owner, mother, and native of Washington State. I grew up in Tacoma, WA and I experienced life in ways that most people never will. I overcame the statistics and went on to blaze my own trail. I studied Architecture, graduated with Highest Honors, and was voted in to multiple positions representing my peers, and likely to be most successful. Life took turns for me: I had a baby and I had to then step early into my field to support my family — later laying down my career to allow my husband to pursue his.
I continued to blaze my own trail, overcoming the grip of an abusive marriage, and then soon following, the grip of Covid, I started my own business.
I then became an advocate for my children and other’s rights: I stood up, and spoke up, to hold those in positions of authority accountable to protect the people and to keep their oaths of office. I have now stepped up and am navigating through the process and the obstacles, to bring my legislative/legal knowledge, innovation, and commonsense to advocate for our entire state, to free us from the grips of our abusive government.- It’s time for transparency and accounting of our programs and tax money to ensure effectiveness and efficiency, and that our programs are benefiting the people and not the agencies.
- I have innovative solutions to ensure we will survive and thrive, through our current inflation crisis, and looming possible supply chain and food shortage crises. It’s time to encourage entrepreneurial growth.
- I have innovative and sustainable solutions for affordable housing, restructuring of our criminal justice system, helping those in homelessness and/or drug abuse. My plan will address the root causes, give the tools to overcome, and create the cycle of accountability, and giving back. My plans include simultaneously creating a mutual giving opportunity for small businesses, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs that currently do not exist.
Protection of rights, affordable housing, criminal justice reform, accountability of societal programs, and reduction of regulations and taxations for the benefit of the people and industry
