Serving others has always been an important part of my life. I joined the Army and served honorably during Desert Storm with the Military Police. Today, I am a teacher for children who are blind or have low vision, and this has been my career for more than two decades. I'm a proud union member and prior leader for my MEA and AFT locals. In 2016, I was elected to the West Bloomfield School Board and am currently the board's treasurer. I reside in West Bloomfield with my wife and two wonderful children.
- As a teacher of children with special needs, an elected school board member, veteran, and parent - I understand the challenges we are facing in Michigan. We need legislators who have experience and proven leadership. That is why I am running for state representative. I will be a voice of reason and a consensus builder.
- I am a member of the sandwich generation. I am middle-aged, have young children, and a retired mother who is challenged with navigating healthcare, social security, and more. Being able to understand and speak to these issues will be key in making progress in Lansing and truly representing everyone.
- As a teacher in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs, I have seen inequity and struggles. We need to do our best to ensure equality - not just in education, but equal opportunities for success across all walks of life.
Economy and Taxes - We need to bring back middle-class jobs by attracting larger companies and supporting small businesses. We also need to revisit our tax structure and put money where it is needed most and NOT raise taxes.
Environment - we need to ensure our natural resources are available for generations to come. Our lakes and woodlands need to be protected for everyone to enjoy. This should not be a partisan issue - Democrats and Republicans alike enjoy our natural resources. So, let’s hold polluters accountable together.
Economy - Michigan has a great history of labor and providing middle-class jobs. That is what will heal and drive our economy. Small business owners are the heart of their communities. We need to support them and help them succeed.
A drawback could be less representation and pushing legislation through too quickly.
