Expand all | Collapse all

I am a small business owner who is passionate about the Kalamazoo community and believes in what we are capable of. I was born in Oshtemo, attended Kalamazoo Valley Community College before completing my degree at the University of Michigan, and returned home to open a small business with my husband.
  • Economy - get Michigan back to work safely and create an environment that encourages job growth and investment in our state
  • Education - Investing in education, skilled trades programs and vocational initiatives that connect talent to meaningful careers, increasing teacher pay
  • Roads - rebuilding Michigan roads and infrastructure with long-term solutions
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Connecting Michigan talent to Michigan jobs is one of the top issues in my campaign, and investing in skilled trades and vocational programs focused on preparing students and workers for the jobs of tomorrow.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Education is the most important investment the State of Michigan can make, and ensuring education funding will be my number one priority.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
I will lead on bipartisan legislation to strengthen transparency and accountability in Lansing including FOIA requirements.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
Addressing this issue will require legislators to put partisan politics aside and work together to make tough decisions. As a small business owner, I've had to prioritize and make difficult decisions in order to keep budgets balanced. The legislature should take responsibility and prioritize essential services before increasing the tax burden on Michiganders.
Detroit Free Press   Featured local question
I don't believe there is one simple solution to ending institutional problems in our public school system, but long-term solutions must empower teachers, administrators, and parents and guardians to best serve their students and help them reach their full potential. Education must remain our state's top funding priority.
Small businesses have been hit the hardest by COVID-19, and supporting the lifeblood of our local economies has never been more important. I am also passionate about implementing meaningful, bipartisan criminal justice reforms that renew trust in law enforcement and allow everyone in our community to reach their potential.
I hope to follow the example of dedicated public servants and community leaders like Margaret O'Brien.
As a small business owner, I've lived the reality of balanced budgets, fiscal responsibility, and having to deliver real results. I believe having this experience will make me a stronger advocate for the hundreds of businesses and employers that are the lifeblood of our community, and that his perspective will be useful in the difficult road ahead.
I would hope to be known as a hard-worker who always put her constituents first and gets real results for our community.
When I was around 6 years old, I started a small yard work business in our neighborhood.
To Kill a Mockingbird - a classic that's message will always be powerful and inspiring.
Like many families, mental health and suicide has left a profound impact on me and the issues that I care deeply about. I will be a strong advocate for mental health parity and funding to ensure every Michigan receives the mental healthcare they require.
Experience is important - whether that be in the public sector advocating for constituents or experience in the private sector balancing budgets, meeting deadlines and getting results. I don't believe time in government is necessarily a benefit if that time is not spent delivering exceptional, responsive service for their community, or if their current elected office has been used as a stepping stone to a career in politics.
Retaining talent and expanding Michigan's economy with jobs and investment. Our state is at a crossroads - do we move forward with the commonsense priorities that revived or state, or go backwards into another lost decade? As our state recovers, we must be prepared to meet new economic challenges and invest in a skilled, modern workforce.
I would hope to serve on the regulatory reform, tax policy, and energy committees.
State Senator Margaret O'Brien was a compassionate public servant who went to extraordinary lengths for our community.
