I’m a political outsider and concerned citizen who has a story similar to many Americans. I love my God and my country and I must do my part to preserve what God has given us as a free nation.
I am a Christian Conservative and patriot, former pastor, wife, mother, grandmother, businesswoman and the author of the newly released book, “Trump Is Not A Racist! Here’s Why.” I am married to the love of my life, who is a successful businessman and banker. Together, we run a well-respected commercial lending and business consulting firm in Atlanta, Georgia.
I was Creole born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana under African American, Cajun French and Native American Indian ancestry and raised by both parents. In 1985, I pursued my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, now called the University of Louisiana. I majored in Commercial Arts and minored in Philosophy. Because I became a wife and mother at the age of 18, I later dropped out due to financial hardships. Over time, I overcame those obstacles and managed to work my way out of poverty with the help of Almighty God.
After witnessing the last 4 years of the unveiling of blatant corruption in Washington, I realized that we could really lose our country— because we almost did 4 years ago. I awakened to the dangers of our current political climate. With that awareness, I am confident that I have the morals, conscience, heart, mind, and strength to fight for the soul of this country.I will fight to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights. Our right to protect ourselves as individuals are at stake. Many Washington Bureaucrats are proposing legislation that is in direct conflict with our Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. The 2nd Amendment is designed to not only protect ourselves and our families — it is also designed to protect American Citizens as a whole from a tyrannical Government and hostile regimes. If any portion of our 2nd Amendment rights are dissolved, then we are vulnerable locally and nationally. The disarmament of American citizens in part or whole is a direct threat to our national security. When I am elected, I will fight to protect our full 2nd Amendment rights with all benefits, rights and privileges in
Transportation infrastructure development is one of my top priorities. Infrastructure development is important to our economic stability. Due to unplanned population surges in the Metro Atlanta area, certain areas of District 6’s roadways are heavily congested. On the federal level, I will work to create solutions and resources to support the improvement and development of our transportation infrastructure in District 6, and nationwide.
I will fight for the protection and preservation of the Constitutional rights and civil liberties of All Americans. I will work to prevent Authoritarian forms of government and economic systems such as Socialism or any replacement form of government from occurring. When I am elected I will vote against any bill would replace or suppress our Constitutional Republic and the free exercise thereof. Our form of government paired with our current economic system is what makes this country the place where dreams are realized.
Preserving and protecting the rights of the unborn.
Drug policy reform: Making the cost of prescription drugs more affordable.
Healthcare reform: Replacing Obamacare with a workable and fair healthcare system that works for everyone and that also protects pre-existing conditions. Restricting the abusive use of Medicare or public-funded insurance for medically unnecessary procedures.
Public Education: Making sure that every child has access to safe schools and a quality education free of political indoctrination and agendas. I believe that every school should uphold every child's constitutional rights.
Preserving, protecting and restoring free-speech rights and firearm ownership rights
Civil Rights: Prohibiting discrimination in all forms. Adding "political beliefs and affiliation" to federal non-discrimination laws, while simultaneously protecting the right of the freedom of association. Many businesses and institutions are discriminating against American citizens based on their political affiliation. This must never happen in a free society.
Banning Authoritarian forms of government and economic systems such as Socialism or any form of government that would replace our Constitutional Republic and the free exercise thereof.
Another challenge is to unify the country as one people regardless of biological, cultural or political differences. Divisiveness, discrimination and voluntary segregation have been embraced as "cultural awareness" thus dividing us further. The questions will be, "How do we trust each other again? How do we love one another again?"
