Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a Christian Conservative Texas native, and I have lived here in North Texas since 1995, a Collin County resident since 2000. I have been a Precinct Chair, ran for Collin College Board of Trustees in 2015 and now seek to serve as your next District Clerk here in Collin County.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will effort to reopen the passport offices throughout the county and restore one million dollars in revenue to the county general fund
• I will show up every day and work side-by-side with the clerks to ensure the business of the courts is handled completely and accurately
• I will bring conservative values to the office and ensure that integrity is foremost in our day-to-day business

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about the right to life and ensuring the unborn are protected. I do believe that the Second Amendment was created to ensure that our rights to firearms are never compromised. I am a firm believer in limited government and putting spending back into the hands of Texans.
