During my time on the Bay St. Louis City Council, I built a solid record of supporting small business and was committed to the development of the municipal harbor. Since 2006, I worked tirelessly to help families recover after Hurricane Katrina as a volunteer for months and then by starting a Habitat for Humanity affiliate for families in Hancock County. After the BP oil spill, I went to Washington DC to meet with leading congressmen from both parties that were going to make the decisions regarding the BP Oil Spill Funding.
As your representative, I promise to stand up for our way of life in Hancock County. That means protecting our beaches from closing again, adequately funding public education and workforce training programs, expanding access to affordable healthcare and supporting vital updates and expansions to our roads and bridges in order to create jobs and improve public safety. Let's elect someone who will continue to work to make our hometowns a better place to live, work, play, retire, innovate and educate!
- Protect the Gulf Coast: The opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway destroyed our fisheries, hurt tourism and our economy, and affected our way of life in Hancock County. As your Representative, I promise to fight every day to ensure that your voice is heard when decisions that impact our way of living are being made.
- Workforce, Education and Economic Development: A better-educated workforce is the cornerstone of economic development. I support full funding of public education.
- Affordable Healthcare: Accepting federal funding to expand access to affordable health care will provide jobs, help keep rural hospitals open and help all Mississippians live healthier lives.
Furthermore, as an educator, I feel passionately about adequately funding our public schools because the children of Hancock County deserve the best. I will make sure that our teachers have the resources they need to do their jobs, that their salary matches the Southeastern average for teachers, that our children aren't subjected to countless tests that end up causing unnecessary stress for students, parents, teachers and administrators, and that our tax dollars don't get funneled to private school voucher programs with zero accountability in place. We need to invest in our future if we are to succeed as a community.
