Reason for Seeking Public Office:
My blue collar parents worked hard so that I could live the American dream: get a solid education that leads to a good job and to buy a home for your family. As a businesswoman for 30 years, a teacher for 16 years and a lifelong volunteer, I have seen first-hand that most people do not have the opportunity to share in these dreams. I want to help those families who struggle, those seniors and veterans who need a hand, and serve as a good steward and protector of this beautiful state.
