Expand all | Collapse all

With my experience in business ownership, public service, and advocacy, I’m dedicated to advancing our shared values. As the conservative candidate, I will protect constitutional rights and advocate for policies that reflect the voice of our district. As a proud mother of two children and a devoted wife of 13 years, I understand the importance of family values and the need for strong parental rights. Now more than ever it is crucial that we elect a conservative to protect our freedoms and liberties. Earning your vote and serving your family as a state representative for the 86th district would be an honor.

I am dedicated to safeguarding constitutional rights by championing policies that resonate with the voice of our district. It is crucial that we elect a conservative representative to ensure the protection of our freedoms and liberties.

  • PRO-FREEDOM: I will fight for policies that support individual liberty and medical freedom. I will oppose vaccination mandates and government overreach.

    DEFENDING SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS: I am unwavering in my commitment to defend your Second Amendment rights. I will fight against infringements on the right to keep and bear arms.

    Pro-Business and Infrastructure Policies

    Implementing pro-business policies, such as reducing regulations and lowering corporate taxes, will foster an environment encouraging entrepreneurship and economic growth. Investing in infrastructure projects will create jobs and improve transportation networks, attracting more businesses to our district.
  • Fiscal Responsibility Wasteful spending diverts funds from essential public services and infrastructure projects benefiting the state. By eliminating this practice, state budgets can be allocated more efficiently, ensuring that taxpayer money is used for projects that have the most significant impact on the overall welfare of the population. This would lead to a more responsible and sustainable fiscal policy, reducing the burden on future generations.
  • Expanding Veteran Healthcare and Services: Our veterans have selflessly served our nation, and we must ensure they receive the healthcare and support they deserve. By expanding access to quality healthcare services and implementing policies that address the unique needs of veterans, we can honor their sacrifices and improve their overall well-being. Curbing Property Taxes for Retirees: One of the main challenges senior citizens face is the burden of high property taxes. Many retirees need help to keep up with rising property values and taxes, leading to financial strain and the fear of losing their homes. By implementing policies that curb property taxes, we can alleviate this burden and provide them with the peace of mind.

We must elect representatives who understand they are employees of the people. Our representatives need to understand this is a constitutional republic. We must work hard to ensure special interest groups do not rule our policy-making process. We must elect representatives who can withstand political pressure, ones who are committed to doing the right thing even when no one is looking; we must reinstall constitutional originalists with integrity.

I am dedicated to safeguarding constitutional rights by championing policies that resonate with the voice of our district. We must elect a conservative representative to ensure the protection of our freedoms and liberties.
