I am an Army veteran nurse and been married for 20 years with a special needs child. I enjoy reading, gardening, camping, barbeques, swimming and spending time with my family. I entered the military at age 17 and have worked in area hospitals for most of my career and I am now focusing on getting involved locally to effect meaningful changes in a broader way than I ever could nursing.
- We have to move forward and get our government functioning again, no more high school antics.
- The person who represents our district needs to be able to work across the aisle and willing to compromise because you are representing ALL constituents, not just the ones who voted for you.
- Focusing on community health will be one of my top priorities besides the "regular issues" and I can think outside the box to bring real solutions to our problems.
Public health! Especially our mental health services which are sorely needed in our rural areas. With addiction running rampart right now, our focus should be on treatment and recovery, not incarcerations. Our first responders have been filling in the gap for mental health services and that is really beyond their scope of practice. I am also passionate about our environment, keeping our Great Lakes and watersheds free from pollution, encouraging wetland growth, restoring areas impacted by PFAS contamination and encouraging stricter laws for run off. In am also interested in the many drainage issues we have here that has caused flooding, beach erosion and loss of shoreline land that homes sit on. Getting reliable broadband service for the district is also a top priority and looking into having mass transportation available also is.
I take many different people as examples depending on their views and if they correlate with mine. I have admired Abe Lincoln especially because he stayed the course and did not deviate from what was needed, no matter how difficult the situation. He was a firm believer in justice and was a practical man. We need more common sense in our government nowadays.
My political philosophy is varied and can't really be summed up in one book or film. I would say that I am a person that respects tradition and the law who would not shrink from doing my duty, so maybe Saving Private Ryan, the Tom Hanks character.
The willingness to listen, be flexible and truly care about the district and it's people that you represent. The fine art of compromise should also be part of their repertoire.
I took an oath when I went into the military and another one when I finished nursing school. I hold those oaths to this day and I base my conduct on them also. It may sound old fashioned but I feel when you take an oath seriously and adhere to it, that starts you on a good path to follow. I am a practical person that realizes I won't get everything that I want but I will work to get what my district needs and I will not engage in childish antics to distract from my goal of serving the public to the best of my ability.
To work for the best interest of the district and it's constituents.
I would like to be known as a fair and good legislator that serves my constituents, that I actually listen to what people tell me and that I made a difference in my community.
The Bicentennial in 1976 and I was 8 years old.
My first job was in the Army, working as a Labor & Delivery nurse at Bayne-Jones ACH in Fort Polk, Louisiana. I was active duty for 3 years and after discharge, I continued my education via the G.I. Bill at Macomb Community College then I worked at area hospitals.
I have many that I have reread over the years. My favorite is actually a series of books by Margaret George titled "Masters of Rome" there are 6 books in the series, it's historical fiction based on the late republic years of Rome.
Poker Face by Lady Gaga
Sometimes I have struggled with peoples prejudices in regards to being a woman that can be a strong and effective leader.
The governor should be confident on being able to present ideas to the house and in the lively discussion that will ensue. Going tit for tat has been the norm for awhile now and as a result we have had degradation of our democracy which will cost us dear if we don't get things squared away.
Switching over to clean energy will be a huge issue, with ramifications on many different levels. Such as, will there be plentiful good paying jobs? What are we going to do about lost jobs from gas vehicle production being phased out? How are we going to attract and keep talented people? How are we going to start building the infrastructure necessary for widespread EV use? These and many other things we need to really start working on if we are going to be carbon neutral in the coming years.
Unicameral is a single governing body which is good for passing legislation without any deadlocks which improves efficiency in lawmaking. The drawbacks are that every segment of society may not be properly represented in a just and equitable manner.
Not necessarily, as we all have our own life experience to draw upon and sometimes fresh eyes on something is needed to get things moving along. A person with the skills to listen, understand and then act is what's needed in legislation.
It's essential to work together with your colleges and build working relationships with them. You may not see eye to eye on everything but that's why we have the word "compromise". I have worked in high stress situations in which I may not particularly like someone but we worked together for the best outcome and that needs to apply in legislating. I may not invite you to lunch and we agree to disagree but the commonality is that we are there for our constituents. So having strong interpersonal relationships is key for effective legislating.
Michigan had an independent commission draw up our new districts and I feel that's the fairest process to prevent gerrymandering.
Health and Human services, any environmental committee
I would like to set my own precedent by being a smart, capable and fair lawmaker.
Yes I am. I intend to run for federal office in the future, possibly congress.
Yes, there was a woman I was talking to in my district and she told me about how she lost 2 children to the opioid epidemic. One was 25, the other 19 and she lost them within months of each other. I asked her if she looked for any help for her situation and she told me that she "tried to get counselling but I couldn't afford it and there was no help.". Her pain was real and I felt so bad that she couldn't access free or affordable mental health services as our rural areas don't have many resources for it. I'd like to change that.
What goes 99 thump, 99 thump, 99 thump? A caterpillar with a wooden leg.
Yes if necessary in emergency situations, with oversight of course.
Indeed! It's the only way forward sometimes and people may not like each other, but when you are trying to come together for the greater good getting it done should matter and your personal feelings need to be set aside.

I am a retired nurse and Army veteran with a special needs son. I was born and raised in my district, growing up on a farm. At 17 I enlisted and I furthered my education at MCC, obtaining an ADN in 1995.
I am not a politician, I am someone that wants to make a greater impact on our district, that understands the everyday concerns people have. My career has spanned over 30 years and I will take that experience to work across the aisle and get things done. I am motivated, dedicated and committed to a better life for our children. The district is mostly rural, I have my feet on the ground and will not forget where I came from.
- Working together we win. To affect change, it starts at the grassroots. Real people wanting to see themselves properly represented.
- Expanding the ACA and price fixing pharmaceuticals would be a start towards healthcare coverage for all.
- The state of Michigan is #50 in Veterans services. We have a large military presence in our state and it's time to take care of them.
Featured local question Depending on the situation, yes I am.
Featured local question We are all equal, just because you have different ideas, color of skin or believe in a certain religion or not doesn't mean you are not entitled to the same rights as a human being.
Featured local question By expanding the ACA with drug price control. Gradually phasing into a national healthcare system, addressing disparity in healthcare providing for POC, reinvesting in the public and mental health sectors. Bringing back production of drugs to America, ensuring that the standards set by the FDA are met.
Featured local question I would encourage a friendly working environment, with an emphasis on talking through issues and compromising when we need to. Reaching across the aisle for a true bipartisan government.
Featured local question Restructure tax codes fairly. I don't think it appropriate that Amazon paid a -1% tax in 2019, earning a $190 million dollar refund. Vet the military budget to see what we could trim, close redundant offices, Robin Hood Wall Street, close off shore tax evading companies like cruise liners and end tax subsidies for big fossil fuel companies.
Repairing our local infrastructures. Our local businesses will require community support by patronizing, networking with other area businesses and federal funding. Healthcare is close to my heart, I believe we all have the right to quality healthcare. We need to expand the ACA and fix drug prices. My state ranks #50 in veteran services and that is a shame. I would legislate for enhanced services for our vets: greater access to mental and physical healthcare and a gradual reintegration into civilian life when discharged. Climate change must be addressed urgently, we are in a crisis and people have to come together to solve this issue or our children will have no future.
They are many I look up to and it's pretty diverse. I admire Julius Caesar for his ability to be a regular person, even though he was of patrician class. He was a "late bloomer" not really making his mark until mid-life. I do not agree with how he acquired his power, however. Abe Lincoln for his vision of a united America. JFK and RFK for their ideals about civil rights. MLK Jr. for the power of his convictions that we are all equal.President Obama, for his innate grace under pressure and his eloquence.
My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Bosel, who taught me it was okay to be me and not to worry about what other people think. She was an exceptional woman that made a lasting impact on me.
Saving Private Ryan would come close. The mission aspect of the film, the drive and dedication to go on.
I have empathy for people and I really listen to their concerns. I have many areas of knowledge outside of nursing and love to learn. I think outside of the box and I am not afraid of change. I am motivated, dedicated and want the best for my district. I am not a politician, I am not a stuffed shirt. My feet are on the ground.
That I made my district a safer, better educated place that is flourishing.
Our bi-centennial celebration in 1976, I was eight years old.
My first job was as a labor and delivery nurse at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. I entered the Army at age 17 and completed 3 years of active duty service. When I was discharged, I used my GI Bill to obtain my Associate Degree Nursing in 1995. My career has spanned 33 years and I have experience in pediatrics,as a scrub nurse, interventional cardiology, medical-surgical, wellness nurse for retirees and I managed a 15 employee doctors office.
I have many I read over and over.
One of the favorites is "Cleopatra" by Colleen McCullough
A cross between Wonder Woman and Wolverine
The Ocean
By Led Zeppelin

Sexual harassment. I have been approached, grabbed, threatened and propositioned more times that I can count.
Suffice it to say I don't tolerate it well. I can and do protect myself and women should not have to fear harassment anywhere.
Suffice it to say I don't tolerate it well. I can and do protect myself and women should not have to fear harassment anywhere.
In my state of Michigan, we passed in 2018 a bill to have a bi-partisan committee redraw our districts. My congressional district, #10 is severely gerrymandered. I think this is a step in the right direction.
Congress represents the purse strings and legislative branch of our government, it writes, debates and passes laws. The U.S. House is considered the most powerful branch of our government, sharing it's power with the Upper Chambers, or the Senate. Congress is the body that legislates for the people. All three branches of our government have specialized powers, maintaining (in theory) a checks and balances system to prevent power grabs from other branches.
Not necessarily, there are many other qualities that candidates have that are very desirable.
There are so many....First, we must recognize POC matter. We all have the same DNA, we just come in different packages. Our healthcare system is irretrievably broken. I would start by legislating to expand the ACA and have drug prices controlled, starting with maintenance meds like insulin, cardiac and birth control pills free.
Our foreign policy has been set back to the 1950's and we need to shore up our alliances and fix the damage done by the current administration. Immigration reform, the climate crisis, LGBTQ rights and focusing on going green.
Yes, Health and Human Services and Veterans committee.
Running a campaign is an arduous process, requiring much time and energy. To be campaigning every other year takes away from the important business in Congress. I think a 3 year term would be a better idea.
We have a system to remove a person unsuited for office, so I don't agree with term limits.
I would love to be on any healthcare committee or veterans committee.
Elijah Cummings, Debbie Dingell come to mind. I also like Andy Levin.
There are 2. One was from a constituent in Almont, Michigan, a small town. When I asked about the opioid crisis she told me about her 22 year old daughter overdosing on fentanyl.
The second was recently. During the initial covid outbreak and congress moved for the PPP loans become available to small businesses, this person applied for a loan and was denied. Her family business in Lapeer, Michigan was established 3 generations ago. Now she will be forced to close.

Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
Being a civil servant is just that, serving the people. I have been taking care of people my whole life and now I want to make a bigger impact on more. I see the abuses on both sides and if we cannot come together and work for the benefit of others, then why are you in Washington? Is there anything you would like to add? I will work my hardest and do my best to represent ALL people in my district. I grew up here, my family has deep business ties to various communities and I know the people of my district. I am one of them.[3] |
