My mom was a public-school teacher and my dad was a minister. They both served our community day in and day out with every ounce of their beings. I grew up wanting to serve this state and community as well.
I'm a mother, daughter, wife, professional, and business owner. After years of leadership roles in business and finance and dedicated service within our community, I'm ready to fight on behalf of our district in Little Rock. I want my daughters to know that democracy can work when we look out for each other - and that decency, love, and kindness are the best ways to govern.
- Affordable Accessible Healthcare
- Fully Funding Public Education, Teacher and Staff and provide universal Pre-K and After-School Programs
- Smart Roads and Infrastructure
Nearly 30% of the population in District 94 is under the age of 18. We should invest in pre-K services for our kids, because early education is proven to help children succeed with lasting benefits to society. We also need to take adult education and skills-retraining seriously. Creating more access to vocational, technical, and community college training, so we can both build and attract industry is vitally important.
Our state's infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the rapid growth. We must address the replacement and expansion of our aging water and sewage pipes. We should ensure our roads are well-maintained for the steady transportation of goods and services that so many Arkansans depend on for their income. And we need a bipartisan approach to creating new development so we don't risk our economy grinding to a halt.
