I would like to be part of committees that I have been before like the community outreach committee and the women's club committees, as we are very involved with similar committee's; economic development & workforce development committee, education committee, health and family services committee, small business and information.
The current committees are inclusive and appeal to the majority without leaving out the minority, all the while holding on to conservative beliefs; as before, our current committees resemble, economic development & workforce development committee, education committee, health and family services committee, small business and information.

February 6 submission

Helping to rebuild after the tornado, I'm a proud Kentuckian, expert in church government &policy, Christian book author, Ecclesiastical Organizer, Recording Artist, & Executive Advisor.
  • Vote for me because I am Pro-Life: It's about your moral standards to protect the sanctity of life.
  • Vote for me because I am Pro-God: It's about your freedom of religion.
  • Vote for me because I am Pro-Second Amendment: It's about your rights as an American.
-Public policy in terms of education and school choice is the greatest topic being brought up across the USA. We need expanded school choice.
-The GOP has America’s best interest at heart like my campaign does with 1. Entrepreneurship 2. Lower taxes 3. Legal Immigration 4. Improved military expenditure 5. Pro-life 6. Limits on labor unions


I look up to my parents because both are exceptional leaders, examples & business owners; regardless of who they come in contact with, they always approach others like family.
We The People 14th Edition by Thomas Patterson.
Characteristics and principles most important are transparency, loyalty and striving towards a common human cause.
Resilience, empathy, self-motivated and Christian.
Core responsibilities for State House Representative are to set the state-run expenses and select and vote for resolutions, rules and laws.
Being a female and Latina both and running for office would make a great legacy no matter the result.
I remember watching TV when President Reagan was shot and thankfully, he survived it. I was 13.
My very first job was an assistant to the executive assistant in High School. I had the job for 3 years until I became the Executive Assistant after graduation. I am now a credentialed minister and running for office as State House Representative.
The Bible. It's the best juicy novel ever written besides a great book of law. You can't go wrong with God's Word.
If I could be a fictional character, it would be wonder woman.
Don't stop believing.
Sometimes it's difficult for me not to internalize others' problems, it's probably why I care about people so much and likely to run for public office.
The governor and state legislature should work together even when they disagree, for the good of the people.
Our greatest challenge is rebuilding after the January 2022 tornado. It might well take the next decade because of all the damage done and meticulous replacing.
The only state that is unicameral is Nebraska and it is mostly non-partisan. I think in becoming mostly non-partisan it may cause either party to give up many foundational beliefs. While idealistically it would be good, it isn't realistic for either major party.
I think it is beneficial for state legislators to have previous government or policy experience because having knowledge of governmental or policy processes would be empowering for most positions.
I believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators, it not only helps with networking but gives insight to future works with peers; ultimately becoming more precise and quicker.
The process I favor most for redistricting is transparency of all information given, especially as it pertains to the majority of the people who govern and those being governed.
I would like to be part of committees that I have been before like the community outreach committee and the women's club committee.
The current committees are inclusive and appeal to the majority without leaving out the minority, all the while holding on to conservative beliefs.
I would like to think that I model myself after most consistently conservative legislators throughout the years.
I would run for anything I felt led to and naturally sent on a path towards in terms of leadership.
The most impactful stories I have ever heard were right after the tornado of 2022. It was a bittersweet having lost people we knew yet amazing in the unification.
My favorite joke is, "why did the chicken cross the road?" Because the burger place was open.
Legislature is about checks and balances, the use of emergency powers, are exactly that "emergency and temporary." To claim we are constantly in emergency mode is a tyrannical abuse of power.
I believe in order to have teamwork, there needs to be giving and taking. Most bills are written by more than one person or more than one party.
