Expand all | Collapse all

I'm a proud born and raised Texan. As a child, my parents taught me the value of hard work and fighting for what I believe in. As a parent, that's exactly what I teach my children. I graduated from high school early and got my business marketing major from UT Tyler. My family and I are proud members of the Calvary Baptist Church of Henderson. With my husband Kirk and my father-in-law Ken, I help run our family business Boatcycle. Like many others, I realized just how scary big government can be during the height of the pandemic. More than the threat of a virus, we saw just how threatening unchecked power can be. I was fearful for my business, I was fearful for my ability to worship, and I was certainly fearful of what would happen without good people stepping up to the plate. So I stepped up and got involved. I found my mission in being a grassroots advocate at the local and state level. I paid attention to the 87th legislative session which only cemented my view that now, and more than ever, we need strong, accountable, and bold leadership in our Legislature.
  • Protect the taxpayers
  • End mask & vaccine mandates
  • Keep CRT out of schools
Protecting the taxpayers is certainly an issue I'm passionate about. That umbrella statement can fit so many of my policy positions. For starters, I am in favor of zero-based budgeting which requires state agencies to testify before the Legislature as to why they need X amount of dollars. I support banning taxpayer-funded lobbying which allows our tax dollars to be used to work against us on, among other issues, property tax reform. I believe we need strong property tax reform with the goal of eventual elimination all together. I am also a staunch supporter of personal liberties. Right now, the most popular effort to encroach on our liberties are coming in the form of mask and vaccine mandates. The decision to wear a mask or get a vaccine is yours to make and not the role of government to mandate; I will always fight to protect that. Lastly, I vehemently oppose Critical Race Theory and will fight to keep every form of this concept out of Texas schools.
