I am the America First, Michigan First endorsed Candidate for the primary election. I am a Mother of four and like to refer to myself as a "Mama Bear." I am strongly against Critical Race Theory being taught in public schools, and will be the voice of the parents when I go to Lansing. We have had enough of the indoctrination in our school systems! Unlike my opponent, I will fight for a forensic audit. Voter integrity and free and fair elections will definitely be on my agenda, voter integrity is the foundation of our freedom. The Constitution comes first. Government is out of control with their regulations on our businesses, and the illegal mandates that they have put on the American people. I will be your Christian, America First Candidate that will go to Lansing, toting my Bible and my Constitution.
- Restore Parental Choice- I am strongly against CRT, DEI, and mandates.
- Free and Fair Election- I believe a forensic audit needs to be done on our 2020 election. Voter ID required. Ban drop boxes
- Fight Human Trafficking- I am Ghost certified. Certified Conductor in the International Operation Underground Railroad. Have done presentations and education for parents and children.
As well as I have confidence, humility, and integrity.
