Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am just a regular mom who has decided that enough is enough. With 2 sons in our area schools, I have become increasingly concerned over the last 2 1/2 years at the direction our school district has taken on many issues that have affected families all over our community.

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 am PRO parental rights. I will represent the parents/grandparents/caretakers in our community, not the union.
• I am running to address the learning loss our children have suffered under the current board's direction. We must keep sex and politics out of our classrooms and get back to teaching our children math, science, reading and writing.
• I will fight to keep school-based health clinics off our school campuses. Once our kids are 12 years old, these clinics do not have to alert parents that they are treating our children, which takes parental rights away from us parents. Our district is going to push for these and I will stand against it.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am new to politics, but as a mom I will not tolerate the state or the government telling me how to raise my children. So I decided to run for school board to represent the parents in our district who are not being heard by the current board.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity, to stand for freedom and the Constitution, and to do the will of the people who elected you.
