I was raised in a small town. My parents divorced when I was young and I went from seemingly having everything to be raised by a single mom who was in school working 3 jobs. I dropped out of high school, but later completed a GED and graduated college. I was a single mom for a while, even brought my daughter to college with me. I am now married, raised five children and have a successful real-estate brokerage.
  • A goal without a plan is a wish. I have plans to reduce crime, improve infrastructure, reduce economic effects of covid
  • I am a property owner and a business owner but I have been a struggling single mom. I know how important government services are, and I also know the value of self independence. My plan is to create policies that encourage self growth.
  • Everything relates back to home. No matter where you are from we all want the same thing; a safe place to call home. Safe from all threats criminal and otherwise.
As a Realtor, I know that property values and strong communities are key to growth in any city. We can secure our communities and become an even more attractive options for companies relocating by making some changes. We can adapt to new innovations that can secure our growth. Absorbent asphalt, that would allow water to sink through to an irrigation system rather than pool on top causing damage and potential flood. We can preserve our history and values while still utilizing technologies that can better and speed our growth.
I want to see and study all technologies in infrastructure , crime reduction, property preservation, and covid sanitation
This offices plays an huge role in budgets for the city. Budgets determine what gets done and what does not. It is most important that that responsibility is not left to a single entity and is shared by representatives that make up the structure of their districts.
My mother.
I use to hate her, like most teenagers do I suppose. Looking back I see how remarkable she was. She married someone her family did not approve of, and then divorced him. They approved of the divorce even less. She was in her mid to late 20s with 2 kids and no real job skills and no financial support from anyone. She went back to school, work 2 sometimes 3 jobs. We rarely saw her but every morning she left breakfast on the table for us, never cereal, an actual hot meal. She is now one of the most successful business women I know, and one of the most success forensic CPAs in the country. She had a vision and a plan and she made sacrifices to make that happen. She is an amazing grandmother and I know I can count on her, she is a true friend.
Waffle House when I was 15, had it only about 4 months.
Auntie Mame

She was approachable and teachable. The two most important things anyone can be is approachable and teachable.
No. I think in general the more political experience you have the easier it may be to be tempted by the next opportunity and next endorsement. It is also easy to become jaded by the sheer difficulties of the process. Having someone in office who has not been exposed to that could be a positive change.
Ability to read and understand budgets. Be able to make clear and concise decisions that are based on the hole rather that the few.
