I have spent the last 30 years sourcing premiums for major corporations. I am currently almost entirely retired. I serve as Treasurer of the Arkansas Valley Lawn and Garden Show, as Co-Chair of the Cutting Garden at the Learning Fields, and a Vestry Member and Lay Eucharistic Minister at St Bartholomew's Episcopal Church.
I volunteer in these, and a number of other community service organizations, because I want to give back to my community. I am running for office because i see it as an opportunity to be of even greater service to Ft Smith.- I see government as a tool to improve the lives of citizens. As a state legislator, I will do everything I can to make the lives of the people in my community better. I will work for better schools with better paid teachers and staff, more affordable health care, with particular emphasis on price of prescription drugs and woman's access to reproductive healthcare, and more good jobs paying good wages.
- I will LISTEN to you, to the people of Ft Smith. YOUR concerns will be MY concerns. I am going to work for YOU, not for a particular party, influence group, or ideology.
- I will do everything I can to stop our legislature from passing bills that will damage the reputation of our state and our city.
Additionally, I am passionate about WOMEN's access to reproductive healthcare. When a woman cannot control her reproductive health, she is no longer a full and free citizen. In addition to the negative effects on women themselves, there are consequences for society at large as well. We must work diligently to once again assure women in Arkansas access to ALL necessary reproductive healthcare.
