I decided to run for office because I have a passion for solving the problems that matter to all us: public safety, the economy, and education. As a wife of a veteran, a mom, and businesswoman, I understand how these issues impact all of Texas’ families.
  • No Relief. No Reform. Elimination. Because no Tax should leave you homeless. My plan removes property Tax and focus’ on Consumer Tax. With a consumer tax anyone who buys goods or services contributes to the schools and county. This includes transients who come in to the county to work temporarily or people passing through the county.
  • Dallas needs a state Senator that will work to bring in businesses, to the district. Not one that will put up roadblocks.
  • We owe it to our kids to make sure they are getting an education that will set them up for success in the future. As it stands now, our public school education system is not meeting the standards of what our kids need. My plan will allow parents to be able to choose where their children attend school, which will allow all parents to have a choice in their students education.
If elected, I give you my word that I will work tirelessly to eliminate property taxes and offer parents more freedom, in choosing their children's education. My plan to remove property Tax, focus’ on Consumer Tax. With a consumer tax anyone who buys goods or services contributes to the schools and the county. My plan for education, will allow parents to be able to choose where their children attend school. Public, Private, or Charter, with no out of pocket tuition fees. Our current State Senator, does not support this. In fact he has voted against lowering property taxes and school choice, session after session. I know I am the right candidate for the job, because in addition to being a successful entrepreneur and business woman.I have proudly served our community as a Girls Scout Troop Leader, a Big Sister in the Big Brother Big Sister Organization and a member of Dallas Star Republican Women's Club. When Texas' students started falling behind due to virtual learning, I began offering free tutoring services to students in the DFW area. It was during this time, I learned just how important parents having the freedom to choose what school is best for their student, really is. A one size fits all model, doesn't belong in education because students all learn differently.
