A centrist from Thermopolis, WY, I am running so that constituents of my district have a choice at the ballot box. I believe in equality under the law, community service, and that being an American means rights with corresponding responsibilities. While my faith informs my values, data drives my decision-making. My educational background includes an undergraduate degree in General Business with Legal Emphasis, two years at OCU School of Law, and a graduate diploma from the University of Essex (Colchester, England) in the Theory and Practice of Human Rights. In recent years, I have been privileged to work as a citizen lobbyist with various state leaders, agencies, legislators, and nonprofits on policy issues and ballot initiatives. While I spent the majority of my life in Oklahoma, I married a 4th generation Wyomingite, and love living in Wyoming. My husband and I are small business owners, members of the Wyoming Native Plant Society, Wyoming Master Gardeners, Wyoming Naturalists, and active with People for People and Grow a Little Extra.
- Medicaid Expansion: 38 states already passed Medicaid Expansion, and the people of Wyoming deserve that same access to healthcare. Expanding Medicaid in Wyoming means a $20 million investment in our small business owners launching new businesses, low wage workers without employer-based healthcare, hardworking farm and ranch families, and others in the Medicaid gap. Our hospitals currently lose an average of $120 million/year in unreimbursed care, and our rural hospitals are struggling. Medicaid Expansion would help stem those losses, and encourage young doctors to stay in our state.
- Economic Diversity/Job Growth: Wyoming has relied on our mineral sector for years. While these industries have historically provided a good return, the boom and bust cycle does not allow for a sustainable financial path for Wyoming. Wyoming must encourage new and diverse business development and business relocation to create a better fiscal foundation for our state and the necessary services it provides. We must also work to create opportunities for young professionals so they will stay in Wyoming to grow our economy.
- Equality for All: The American concept of equality under the law is, in my opinion, the most important tenet of liberty and justice. If we do not treat disparate groups equally, we are failing to live up to the American standard. Wyoming is known as the Equality State, and should continually strive to make sure all citizens are treated fairly. Areas of concern include freedom of speech and expression; voting rights; separation of church and state; criminal justice reform; women’s reproductive health rights; closing the wage gap; gay rights; racial equality; protections for seniors and children; and others.
-Health Policy
-Economic Policy
-Civil Rights
-Education
Integrity and honesty are the most important qualities for an elected official. An elected official is a public servant. As such, that person should read and fully research the issues, and make decisions that are most likely to elevate a district’s constituents - not those that benefit the official and/or a re-election campaign. If elected, I will be forthright with my constituents, even if the message is unpopular. I will neither spread nor condone misinformation or disinformation. The citizens of Wyoming deserve truthfulness and transparency.
Great elected officials are great listeners. One cannot represent voters without knowing the needs, concerns and ideas of the constituency. Public servants have an obligation to be hard workers: reading legislation, researching alternatives using science-based project modeling, fairly evaluating multiple perspectives, reaching out to the electorate for comments, and reporting to their district. Elected officials should be willing to reach across the aisle and find bipartisan solutions that best solve problems and address needs, regardless of party affiliation.
