I grew up in a home where we walked the walk and I try to continue to do that today. Having a brother with down syndrome greatly influenced my decision to go into teaching and to take a stand for those who cannot defend themselves.
I am a woman who wants to do what is right for our children and families. I am actively involved in my church.
I am pro-life and believe we need to be the hands and feet of Jesus to mothers and fathers that are struggling in carrying and caring for their child(ren).
I am on the local committee for Night to Shine (Tim Tebow Foundation) and have coached Special Olympics in the past.
I support our 2nd Amendment Rights.
I support our First Responders who put their lives on the line every day for our families.
I support small businesses.
I volunteer with organizations that help victims of sex trafficking.
- My first key message is that I will do everything to keep Missouri an advocate for the unborn.
- My second key message is that the education of our children and the rights of parents must be protected. School choice is a right for families to use their tax-dollars to send their children to the educational establishment of their choice. We need to get back to educating our children so they can be competitive, productive, citizens in society. Children need to be taught Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. They need to learn to respect others regardless of differing opinions. The education of our children is the root of societal issues. We must also protect our teachers who want to just teach. We are losing great teachers at an alarming rate, teachers on both sides of the political aisle.
- My third key message is getting rid of wasteful spending in our state's budget. Citizens deserve the right to keep their own money and their God-given Constitutional Rights. We need to make sure our first responders have what they need to do their jobs. We need to make sure small businesses are protected over big corporations.
