I am a solutions-driven small business owner and community advocate for Central Louisiana. I, along with my husband, Todd, who was born and raised in Central Louisiana, chose to make Woodworth our home almost 20 years ago because of its rural community values and unlimited potential. Since then, I have immersed myself in volunteer organizations and economic development groups in order to better our community and the place we are proud to call home. My 20-year-long track record of dedication and public service to our region has resulted in several service-oriented and leadership awards, most notably, the Hometown Hero Award and the YWCA Decade of Women Award.

I am committed to defending our conservative principles, expanding economic and educational opportunities, and making our streets safer so our region can reach its full potential. I’m the only candidate in this race that’s running on my commitment to our community, not my family name, To build a better path forward for all of Central Louisiana, we can’t keep voting for the same old same old. We have to vote for new leadership. We have to vote for change. We have to vote for someone who will listen to your concerns and deliver for our community. I’m ready to defend our Conservative Christian values in Baton Rouge.


  • Increasing Educational Opportunities - Education breaks the cycle of poverty and unlocks opportunity. We must focus on the basics, improving our literacy rates and letting our teachers teach to the child. All children should have the opportunity for quality education!
  • Supporting Law Enforcement + Giving them the tools and resources to tackle the drug epidemic and to do the job we ask them to do each and every day.
  • I know we're all feeling the pinch of high insurance rates. I'm determined to lower insurance rates without sacrificing coverage.
Education, Education and Education! So many of our issues can not be fixed overnight, but if we can begin with our education at the youngest ages we can have a ripple effect into so many other problems we are facing. I am tired of Louisiana being at the bottom of the list on education, all the states around us are succeeding in this and we can too! We do not have to recreate the wheel, we need to take what they are doing and make it work for us here in Louisiana. As the mother of four kids, I know each child is different and we can not teach all children to the same mold. We must allow teachers to be able to teach to the child and not to a test, and we have to allow parents to have the opportunity to make choices when it comes to their children and their education.
Being the voice of all of the people of the District and looking out for their needs. Being readily available to them and communicating with them.
I remember the Space Shuttle Challenger exploding, I was in band class and they announced over the loud speaker to the whole school and we were all in confusion about what happened. I was around 12 years old and I remember the impact and watching the news coverage with my dad who loved space and he had taken me to watch a shuttle launch just prior to that.
My very first job was working for our hometown bank, Killbuck Savings Bank, as a bank teller while I was in High School. I had that job during the school year of my Senior Year and the summer before college. At least that was my first "official" job, I mowed yards when I was younger !
Stopping the hemorrhaging of our young people to our neighboring states. Louisiana is a great state and I am proud to have raised my family here, we need to show the nation and the world how great we are and we will be when we stop following the status quo and get strong leadership into Baton Rouge.
No, I think the same old names in our political arenas are what got us to this point. It is time for people with real world business experience to bring new life to our state.
Absolutely. We all must work together to change the course of our state! I am proud to already have terrific relationships with the Central Louisiana delegation and many others in and running to be in our State Legislature.
Each of those that stand by their principles and morals and maintain their integrity above all. I have built a business in real estate on my ethics, my integrity and always doing what is right for my clients. That is the way I am running my campaign and the Representative I will be, always with my districts needs at the forefront.
Absolutely. If we only dig our heels in on both sides then our state will never be able to progress and succeed. As a Realtor/Broker, this is what I do for a living, communicate and help to find the common goal so that we can achieve all we want to achieve.
