Expand all | Collapse all

I am a Christian, mother and wife. After a very successful corporate career, I launched my own medical consulting firm, Purple Door Aesthetics. I specialize in work with medical spas and Plastic Surgeons.

I have been a grassroots Conservative volunteer within the GOP for over 20 years, most recently serving as the NC11 GOP District Chair.

I have volunteered within the pro-life movement for over a decade.

I am staunchly conservative and my guiding principles in life and governance are based in the Bible and the U.S. Constitution.
  • Close the border! Make Title 42 law
  • Return to the Trump America First energy policies
  • End the mandates - remove CRT from our classrooms
1. Illegal immigration -- We must take our border back from the Mexican drug cartels. They are flooding our country with fentanyl and human trafficking is up nearly 40% under Biden.

2. America First Energy -- We must end our dependence on foreign oil and return to the Trump energy policies. This will stimulate our economy and put Americans back to work.
3. End ALL mandates -- The federal government overreach during COVID led to illegal mandates that must be put to an end.
4. Election Integrity -- We must protect the integrity of our elections and states must follow the constitution.

5. Pro-Life -- Moving into a post-Roe world will change the national landscape and conversation around abortion. We must prepare for state legislative actions and heartbeat laws.
My parents -- they both hold a high school diploma and worked for decades to support our family. They both have worked multiple jobs, lived through union strikes, yet were always the ones to support others. Our home became the home where every neighbor came and felt welcomed. They have set an example for me of servant leadership and a tremendous work ethic.

Honesty

Integrity
Servant Leadership
Discernment
Credibility
Humility

Accountability
I am a Christian, leader, female entrepreneur, mother and a servant leader. I am honest and live my life with integrity and honor.

I will hold myself and others accountable to serve our constituents principledly.
To serve their constituents with honor and honorably.

To do the work they are elected to do in D.C.
To provide constituent services in their communities.
To be accessible to their constituents.

To support and defend the Constitution of the U.S.
I would like my children and grandchildren to know they are living the "American Dream" because I have served them with honor. I have rolled back failed legislation and helped to Make America Great Again!
The Space Shuttle Challenger crash in 1986. I was a junior in high school and my broadcasting class was sharing the launch live during school. I remember every detail of that classroom and the events of that morning.
My 1st job was bagging groceries at Kroger when I was 15 years old. I worked for Kroger throughout high school and upon college graduation returned as an Assistant Store Manager.

Both of my parents retried from Krogers and worked 6 & 7 days/week to afford our family a wonderful middle-class life.

I am the 1st member of my family to graduate from college.
To Kill a Mockingbird -- The struggles in this book have always resonated with me. It is a book I have read multiple times in my life and each time I am struck by another aspect of the book.
Julia Sugarbaker from Designing Women. She had all the fire and the best one-liners on TV. She led with grace and dignity, but her wit and humor were equally powerful.
I became a Christian as an adult & struggled with life before I turned myself over to Christ. I have struggled with a broken marriage and being a single mom to my children, being able to support them emotionally, financially and spiritually.
It is the 'People's House" and controls the purse strings of the Federal Government. This should be where hearty debate is held on the floor and responsible decision-making on spending and policy, but it is currently so partisan.
I believe representatives need to have common sense, private sector experience and a heart for patriotic servant leadership.

We can't drain the swamp, if we just change out the water.
I have signed the U.S. Term Limits Pledge. I am the ONLY candidate in this race that has signed this pledge.
I recently spoke with a farmer that has a 35-acre farm, but due to the failed economic policies of Joe Biden, she can only afford to farm 8 acres this season. The cost of fuel and fertilizer are up 300% and they simply cannot afford to farm their entire land. This farm sustains her family and feeds others, yet the America LAST policies of this administration have in 1 year changed how she farms and how others eat.

Without fuel and food, our economy is doomed.
I believe there are certain areas where compromise is desirable, BUT I will NEVER comprise on the principles of the Conservative platform. I will NEVER compromise on irresponsible spending and voting on bills that no one has read.

The Democrat party has gone so WOKE, there is no place to compromise currently. Moderate Democrats have been pushed out of their party.
Our national debt is our greatest national security risk. We must return to single issue bills with 100% spending transparency. We must END omnibus bills.

I am in complete support of a federal balanced budget amendment and end of earmarks.

Campaign website

Woodhouse's campaign website stated the following:

Pro-Life

We must protect the lives of the most innocent. Michele is 100% Pro-Life and believes in the sanctity of life.


Stop Illegal Immigration

America must protect its borders!

Build the wall!

Stop the massive influx of illegal aliens, and put America First!


Election Integrity

Your vote is a most sacred right and America's strength is the voice of its people. We cannot turn a blind eye towards the criminal acts of those who seek to undermine the most crucial choice we make - electing our leaders. We demand Voter ID, forensic audits where necessary, and an end to practices designed to make it easy to cheat in elections.


Protect the 2nd Amendment

The 2nd Amendment guarantees the 1st and provides all law abiding Americans the opportunity to protect themselves and their families. It is clear - "Shall NOT be infringed"...


No Mandates

Government overreach is everywhere! None more blatant than mandates!


Energy Independence

We need to open the American pipelines!

We need true American energy independence!

The Biden Administration has sold out to the liberal left and is damaging America.


Defend America from CRT

Critical Race Theory is a subversive plot engineered by progressives trying to indoctrinate our children to hate America. This must stop - we are lucky to live in the greatest country in the world and we cannot allow those who hate America to brainwash our children.[2]
