| Collapse all
After getting married, I settled in the suburbs, raising three children in DuPage and Kane Counties over the last 30 years. I cherish these communities and their people. My faith is central to my life. Through church involvement, I have served in various ministries, striving to honor Jesus in all I do.
I am not a politician; I am a dedicated mom and community member who seeks to bring positive change to Illinois. I believe the current direction of our state needs to shift to better serve its people. With my practical experience and strong values, I am committed to making a difference for Illinois families.- Don't mess with our kids. I will strive to have schools get back to the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. Our kids need to be taught skills to succeed in jobs and life. I do not believe that the current sex education nor CRT needs to be taught in the schools.
- Are you better off than 4 years ago? Gas prices have doubled, groceries have increased significantly, Our state is 50/50 in fiscal stability. Our pension fund is $140 billion underfunded. It is time for a change. There are many factors in all of these issues, however our state is not improving. We are falling farther behind. We can not afford to spend $1 billion on illegal migrants as was approved in the 2025 budget. We need to focus on the citizens.
- Term limits for politicians. Unfortunately, Illinois is know for corrupt politicians. People do not trust our politicians and many leave public office wealthy. I would like to see term limits.
