| Collapse all
My husband, Jerry “Peanut,” and I have been married since 2014. We are a blended family that includes six adult children and their significant others, three younger children, and five grandchildren. We are a Christian and farming family who respects the value of commitment, hard work, and sacrifice. My motivation to seek office has been fueled by a determination to ensure that our children and grandchildren are able to retain the rights associated with being inherently free.
I have spent most of my adult life raising children and have no significant previous professional involvement in politics. I have been employed as Social Services Director of a Western Kentucky retirement community. I also spent four years working as a counselor with the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice. Kim has enjoyed raising their three small children since 2015 and began homeschooling in 2021.- Power belongs to the People. The government is in place for our benefit and at our service. Our rights have been chiseled away so slowly that many do not even recognize that it has happened. We are in a position to take back our Power from the government and we can insist that our elected public servants speak on our behalf.
- Our forefathers intended and the Constitution demands small government. The general purpose of government is to protect the rights of the smallest minority, which is the individual.
- We deserve honest and transparent representation by humble members of the community. Career politicians have made it clear for whom they work. It is as easy as following the money and their voting history. We are already capable of instilling term limits at the ballot box. It is our duty to know what candidates stand for before placing our vote and removing those from office that do not place individual liberty at the top of their priorities.
I believe programs and services should be referred to local and community oversight with the exception of national defense and enforcement of contracts. Government spending is out of control because we have allowed it to make itself responsible for attempting to fulfill every need for Americans and for other nations. Humans are capable of making decisions for themselves and are capable of assisting each other voluntarily when there is a legitimate need. Forced charity is not charity. It is enabling, fosters dependence on the government, and enables the government to exert power and control in exchange for basic necessities.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
