Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Wife, Mother, Grassroots Activist, Businesswoman. I am a Candidate for the state legislature and have been a consistent, conservative leader for years. I have fought Whitmer's illegal shutdown orders for over a year. A descendent of Revolutionary War veterans, I take my faith, family and, constitutional principles as my guiding values.

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?

Restoring the proper role of government to We the People.Uphold and defend the Constitution as written.Ensuring the rule of law is upheld and those who break it are held responsible.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Election Integrity, Parental Choice, Medical Freedom and Privacy, Constitutional Carry and the 2nd Amendment.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

George Washington. He understood that the idea of We the People in a self governing role was bigger than one person. He understood the sacrifice and immense struggle it would take to uphold the values of all people with limited government and was willing to walk away for the sake of the Republic.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To Defend the Constitution of the United States of America. That is it. Simple but more important today than ever before.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Whatever it Takes by Imagine Dragons

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Separate but equal. The Governor should work with those from all walks of life that are sent to represent the body of Michigan as a whole.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Overreaching government and overspending mixed with corporate welfare and excessive regulations.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

It can be but it is necessary. The state of our Government is in disarray partly because we have assumed this matters more than other attributes.
