. I was raised in Livingston Parish and have lived in Watson for 50 years. I look forward to working with and being a part of a great service in our Communities and State. I was raised by Grandmother, Pearl King Webb, and my Uncle Kenneth Webb. My grandmother was a Sunday school teacher and my Uncle was a tile setter and a member of Hooksetter's Bass Club. I grew up in Church and in a bass boat! All through school I participated in sports and I coached softball in later years. I began working in 1987 at an Insurance Agency in Denham Springs and continued to work in the Property and Casualty Insurance for 16 years. As I grew in knowledge and expertise I reached higher levels of Management with major Insurance Companies and made many friendships along the way. It was in 1996 that I met my best friend and married him on Valentines Day 1998. We have a blended family of 6 adult children, including a daughter of our own and 7 grandchildren. In 2002 I retired from the Insurance field and began a course at LSU in Interior Decorating. My husband is a Residential Contractor and I have the privilege of working with homeowners still today. On October 5, 2003 my husband and I surrendered our lives to the will of God. We began the best journey of our lives and have since graduated Colleges obtaining an Associate Degree in Church Leadership and 3 Doctorate Degrees. I hold a Doctorate Degree in Christian Theology, in Divinity, and in Ministry. We have traveled the States ministering in Churches, holding Outdoor Crusades and multiple outreaches bringing communities educational opportunities, health care check ups while also meeting immediate needs of food and clothing. This has led me to where I am today. I am not a Politician. I am a Livingston Parish resident that has the experience to govern. I stand strong for our Biblical, Fundamental, and Constitutional Rights and will establish laws to protect our rights and safety.
- Education Reform
- Protections of Christiqn Faith and values
- Adress State spending and accountability
Every issue that concerns our state is important to me. I do not feel that only one needs to be addressed. I am a team worker and want to explore every area of Louisiana
Cindy Jacobs and Dutch Sheets because they live a life closely with God and He has elevated them to positions of high governmental influences because of it.
Ronald Reagan once said in his speaches that good government is involving the people.
What I believe is important for an elected official is Honesty, Integrity, and a.motive to better our State. I believe what is most important is that God is to remain in our government and the center of decisions.
I love working with people and I'm a team player. I am a proven leader and know how to delegate skills to complete projects with excellence. I will gather other local, State and Federal leaders to be the most updated and educated in areas that affect our local community and our State and work with them until we have resolution and accountability. I believe that engaging the people in their communities and allowing them a place to express their community needs and working with them is good government. Transparency, and accountability is vital for prosperity.
Protect our citizens , create bills to promote moral, ethical and economical prosperity.

Absolutely The Bible. It conforms me to a better image of Who I am meant to be. |Books on Spiritual gifts because we are born with these gifts by God's choice and need them to fulfill our purpose. As I began to understand these gifts I began to understand the core of who I am and why I have the passions that I do.
They aren't fictional but I Would Love to play Esther or Deborah in a movie!!!
'YOU SAY' by Lauren Daigle
There was a time I was a single parent and struggled to make ends meet. My salary left me with little after paying bills to survive.
There is safety in the council of the multitude. The different departments delegates.authorities, responsibilties and powers.
No, I do not believe that. People have their own gifts and talents, and experiences that enables them to properly govern a business or a larger scale as government. The most important aspect is character and Integrity because no matter the issue concerning the position is, it will be character that derermines actions.
Agreement. Transparency in State spending and the need to be revised, establish accountability for what is allocated; Removal of Common Core; revise Sex education; protections of Christian Faith.
We learn early in life that 2 heads are better than one. Although there will be disagreements, it would be beneficial for us all to be open to work more closely with one another unto a resolve than fight for own agendsas. Although it may seem to be far fetched, it is not impossible.
Absolutely. There are others who have been elexted in their.lical.areas to represent that community and their voixe matters. We work together toward the betterment of the entire stare.
As many as possible, especially concerning our education.
President Donald Trump
