I am a Christian wife, mom of 4, small business owner, speaker, grassroots activist and proud patriot of our great Nation.
  • American citizens are tired of the political games on both sides of the isle. It's time for America First patriots and supporters of our Constitutions to take a stand in our communities, states and nation. We need to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from the powerful elite who seek to destroy the fabric of America.
  • Everyone knows you don't get between a mama bear and her cubs. As a mom, I am fed up with the indoctrination in our public school system that is being pushed by the left. I will fight to protect our kids from CRT, inappropriate sexualization and keep biological boys out of girls sports.
  • Our 2nd Amendment rights are under attack and as a wife of a Marine corp. vet and county jail sergeant, I will stand firm on ensuring our right to "keep and bear arms" will not be infringed.
Abortion - prolife

Education - End CRT and sexualizing our kids
2nd Amendment - protecting our constitution rights to keep and bear arms
Taxes - ending the over reach of taxation
Energy - being a good steward of the energy resources we have

Illegal Aliens - We cannot protect our country without strong borders and enforcement of the legal path to citizenship.
Several people depending on the situation.
Politically, right now - Marjorie Taylor Green
To represent the constituents in their District, serve their needs and protect their freedoms.
Politically I want to be known as a Stateswomen
Personally I want to be known as servant of Almighty God
Clark/ Walter / Sirine Architects
It was a summer job working as a draftsmen before going to college.
Right now I'm reading "Wrestling Gators, An outsiders guide to draining the swamp" by Patrick Colbeck

But my favorite book is the Bible
The legislature writes the laws. The Governor enforces them as per the Constitution.
Getting workers back to Michigan in affordable housing, adequate child care and schooling and protecting our natural resources.
Yes! There has to be a coalition of like minded patriots moving in the same direction if we want to get anything done in Lansing.
Education

Elections + Ethics
Families, Children +Seniors
Health Policy

Military, Veterans + Homeland Security
Yes. It cannot be done by one person in office.
