Expand all | Collapse all

I grew up in Minot, a small city in north-central North Dakota. Despite a chaotic home environment, through determination and hard work, I earned a Bachelor of Arts (psychology) and a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science (nursing). I served proudly in the US Air Force, Nurse Corps for 20 years, retiring with an honorable discharge as a Major. My current political involvement includes organizing a neighborhood Democratic club (Dems-n-Dogs), working as a Precinct Committeeperson (PC), active as a State Committee Member (SCM), and working intermittently for the Pinal County Early Voting Office. Considering my prior military service, and my professional experience at America’s largest HMO and a low-income women’s clinic, I offer 37 years of medical expertise, primarily as a women’s health nurse practitioner, to the Arizona State Legislature. Furthermore, my history of political involvement reflects a strong civic commitment.
  • EMPOWERMENT: Women deserve to have power over their own bodies, their reproductive health decisions, and their privacy. I did not devote myself to 20 years in the United States Air Force, Nurse Corps and 37 years in the women’s healthcare field, to stand back and watch our rights be stripped away! It is 2024, not 1864. This can’t happen! Aside from the deeply personal impact on women, the financial implications of this assault on rights are multifaceted. Other such rights to consider along with healthcare and privacy issues, we also need to protect our right to access our earned VA, medical, and social service benefits. This is especially evident with the incidence of depression on the rise in the US, specifically in Arizona.
  • ECONOMY: We must secure fair allocation of Biden's bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds, ensuring rights to training and placement in good jobs for many Arizonans. Some important areas include high-speed broadband internet, chips manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. The United States and specifically Arizona, depend upon immigrants to fulfil jobs often not desired by our citizens. However, after 40 years and many attempts by both Democratic and Republican presidents, our border situation continues to be an inhumane, costly, and inefficient mess. Let's face it, walls block trade not people! A considerate, cost-effective, safe solution must be sought.
  • EARLY VOTING: The right to vote allows us access to all other rights. It is critical that we protect our right to the secure, transparent, nonpartisan Early Voting system in Arizona. An estimated 80% of Arizonans presently use this mail in and/or drop box voting system. We must fight against GOP voter suppression tactics that they label as “Voting Integrity.” These are merely attacks on our ability to access voting location, purging of voters from rolls, or disenfranchising certain groups of voters. I will strive to help people understand that we already have an excellent voting system in our state and will work to improve, defend, and protect it. Voting is our voice. We cannot stifle it!
The recent draconian decision by the Arizona Supreme Court is number one on my list. This assault on women's rights is despicable! Women will needlessly suffer and die before we can rectify this decision. Women don't have abortions for fun! Abortion care is medical treatment for many reasons. These may include miscarriage, "missed abortion," unintended unwanted pregnancy (psychological, financial, abuse, or emotional reasons), fetal anomalies not consistent with life, IVF treatment, etc. The best reason for other people to understand why a woman makes the decision to have an abortion is that it is absolutely none of their business! The impact of this ruling on families, community, and economy will be immense.
I have greatly admired and still do, Arizona Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes. I first met Adrian at a candidate Meet and Greet at the library in Florence, Arizona in 2021. His forceful, frank, articulate discussion of the problems our state and country were facing and his plans to work to rectify these greatly inspired me. At that time, I asked Adrian to attend a Meet and Greet in my home where he graciously accepted and educated us on how he enhanced and transformed the Arizona's election system by ballot tracking technology and increased process transparency. During my work at the Early Voting Office in Coolidge, I became even more aware of his commitment to preserving integrity in Arizona's elections. I'm very proud of the job he is doing as Secretary of our great state of Arizona. He has highlighted the threats facing election officials and is working on ways to help protect them from harm and intimidation.
Because I am such a strong proponent of civil and human rights, one book I found very enlightening was, "The Color of Law." by Richard Rothstein.

An insightful parody film reflecting the current state of disinformation leading to a misinformed public is, "Don't Look Up,” by Adam McKay and Kevin Messick.

I also found the 1993 Spielberg war documentary, “Schindler’s List,” extremely eye-opening about the risks of dictatorships.
An elected official must be a person with solid core values. Mine include honesty, integrity, respect, and empathy. These values served me well during my military and medical careers and will be instrumental in my service in the Arizona State Legislature. The United States Air Force was an excellent fit for me, as the core values were "Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do." No person is perfect, including me, but those who run for political office must always strive to be the best of their abilities.
I developed leadership qualities during my military and medical careers. However, as a team-player, I can also be a follower as needed. I am a problem solver and pay keen attention to detail. As mentioned earlier, I have solid core values of honesty, integrity, respect, and empathy. I truly believe in service before self, which is why I'm running for office during such a tumultuous time.
Core responsibilities for those elected to the Arizona State Legislature include accountability, reliability, and transparency. The interests, welfare, and concerns of one's constituents must always be at the forefront. Elected officials must strive for excellence but be humble and willing to admit to and own up to mistakes.
I would like to be remembered as a true patriot, with heartfelt love of my country. I would also like to be remembered for my sincere love, caring, and loyalty for friends and family, my love for animals, especially dogs, and my passion for making people laugh.
The first historical event I recall is the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was in 4th grade (9 years old) and I was very saddened by it.
My very first job was truck stop waitress at the age of 14. I worked at that job off and on for about 2 years.
My favorite books to read are those that are suspenseful. "The Shining," by Stephen King, 1977 was a great horror book...very scary. My newest favorite book (just now reading), is, "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory," by Tim Alberta. This is also a book I consider a type of horror, as it is looking at the worrisome road America is on with extremist religious views.
I would choose to be Betty Boop, who was a self-assured, confident independent woman. She was also compassionate and loved animals.
"Love is my Religion, " Ziggy Marley.
My struggles involved abusive relationships. My childhood, my first long-term relationship, and my marriage were all equally fraught with chaos and abuse. Not all abuse was physical, but all were impactful on my self-esteem. Fortunately, I am a fighter and came out a stronger person.
The relationship between the governor and the state legislature would ideally be one of mutual respect, constructive communication, compromise, and coming up with the best ways to move our state forward on issues affecting all constituents. Their collaborative interaction must include checks and balances of all issues.
Arizona's greatest challenges are:

--restoring and protecting women's rights to privacy and bodily autonomy
--protecting and improving our already free and fair voting system
--developing long-term ways to protect, improve, and conserve our natural resources
--coordinating the best ways to use federal funding and taxes to increase access to training and good jobs
--finding a humane cost-effective solution to our border problem.

Each of these issues greatly impacts the overall state economy.
I am sure prior experience in government or politics would be beneficial to a legislator but is not essential or mandatory. In some cases, it may even be detrimental if the preceding experience of a legislator was one that was inappropriate or ineffective. Former officeholders often boast about the quantity of bills they have contributed to passing; however, a high volume of bills does not guarantee quality or ensure they served the public's best interest.
It is absolutely essential to build relationships with other legislators. This should be a team effort to develop and put forward thoughtful, comprehensive, effective bills to benefit the constituents. There is no room for self-aggrandizement or an attitude of, "I alone can fix it."
I think of several legislators I admire. Barrack Obama was a state and federal legislator before becoming president. I feel he was a man of excellent character, and I would be thrilled to get even close to his caliber. Gabby Giffords was also a remarkable legislator, supporting issues near and dear to my heart (healthcare, veterans' affairs, environment, and border security). She has become an advocate for gun safety since the attempt to assassinate her. I also admire John McCain and Liz Cheney for their strength and character and willingness to stand up for what is right, even if it goes against the party.
I do not plan to pursue a different office after this unless it is another term in the Arizona State Legislature.
I've heard many personal stories during my 37-year career in healthcare but a recent conversation with a dear friend caused me great concern. This is directly due to the recent archaic decision to remove women's rights to their reproductive healthcare. My friend just advised me she is considering trying to have another baby. Normally, this would be time for great celebration. However, with access to care for pregnancy complications being stripped away, I realize that the chance of my friend dying has increased dramatically. Considering her risk factors of advanced maternal age of 36, excess weight, and being black, her chance of ending up with a life-threatening complication were already high.
"People are so judgmental! I can tell by just looking at them!"
I believe the legislature should oversee and grant emergency powers based on careful consideration of all facts.
The first bill I would introduce, if not already done would be to repeal of the draconian ruling on abortion.
Arizona Chapter of the National Organization of Women (NOW)
I am interested in the Health and Human Services, Military and Public Affairs, Appropriations Committee, Natural Resources, Energy & Water, and Land, Agriculture & Rural Affairs.
I believe both financial transparency and accountability are essential pillars to good governance. When citizens can clearly view how their tax dollars are being spent, it will build trust in their governmental officials. We hope to have honest individuals running governmental organizations. We must deter malfeasance and foster trust, remembering, "trust but verify"-Ronald Reagan.
