| Collapse all
I have been a small business owner since I graduated from high school, and while I have never been involved in politics, I feel compelled to run for office due to the current state of the economy and the influence of the woke and transgender agenda in our schools. I am deeply concerned about the future of our children and grandchildren and believe that parents should have a say in their upbringing.
I am running against the incumbent Democrat in our district, who has run unopposed for the last two terms. She voted No on bills HF2523, SF2096, SF 482, HF348, SF 496, HF 2577, and SF538, which would have protected parental rights and curbed the transgender agenda in schools. It is time for a change, and I am committed to standing up for the values and rights of our community.- Economy
