I am a grassroots America First Patriot. I grew up on Harsen’s Island. Moved to California when I was 19. God brought me back to my home State in 2015. While in California I went to a couple junior colleges. Was hired by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and later went to work for the Anaheim Police Department where I was also a Matron. I am also a Certified Nurse’s Assistant. I was married to a Police Sergeant for 21 years. Me he RIP. I have 2 children grown and living on their own and 2 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild will graduate next year. How time flys! I started getting involved in politics when I saw how President Trump was being treated during his first term. I am a candidate that will represent my district with everything I have. I will be your voice, your eyes, and your ears. Less government and more power to the people!

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?

Citizens should always come before illegals. Our legislators should be protecting their citizens and doing everything to protect, keep us safe, and pass bills that help the people.We need to secure our elections. We need to pass/change rules/laws that will reduce the ability to cheat as much as possible. Our votes matter and should not be allowed to be stolen from us.Securing our borders. Every immigrant who came here illegally should be deported. We need to uphold the law of the land. We need to protect our citizens.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We need to protect the children. They need to feel, safe, loved, wanted, and free to be a child. Free of pornography, free of transgender teachings, free of child mutilation. Free from grooming. Our schools are failing the parents, failing the children, and failing society as a whole.

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

I like Princess Diana. She never changed who she was no matter what the circumstances she faced. She never lost site of her love and concern for the people. We shouldn’t either.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The word of God should be our foundation. Our forefathers were Christian’s and the Bible was their foundation and we should never leave site of that!

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

They need to be trustworthy, honest, self controlled, free from love of money, love what is good, and won’t accept a bribe. We as voters need to raise the standard. Corruption, lying, and stealing should not be tolerated. We need candidates with morals and integrity.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Knowledgeable of how government agencies work through working in Law Enforcement, standing up for people’s rights, fighting for what is right even if I’m standing alone. My motto is: Do what’s right.

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

To work for the people in their community. Be their voice. To vote according to what the majority of their constituents want. To do as much as possible to protect those in their district. To represent the people and uphold the constitution.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to leave a legacy that I never backed down, never gave up, and never surrendered.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Space Challenger.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I started baby sitting when I was 12. I babysat up until I graduated Highschool.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible. Lots of life’s lessons. No one is perfect so it’s good to see different people in different situations and how God deals with the people.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Cinderella. She never stopped being nice, believing, or doing good.

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

Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, sugar at supper time. Only I changed it to: Jesus in the morning, Jesus in the evening, Jesus at supper time. Just when you think it’s over, He shows up just in time.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

I’m too trusting. Which makes it easy to take advantage of. No matter what: I do what’s right. Kindness matters.

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

Communication. We should all be working together for the common good.

To make changes for community growth, small businesses, auto industry, improve energy, safety, reduce taxes, and make a better living overall!

Yes. We will never have unity or come together in agreement, or even work toward a common goal if we don’t. We should act as a team.

No comment.

Parents are complaining a lot right now about the pornography, sex literature, transgender teachings, and pronouns being taught or available in the libraries and want it all removed. This is not appropriate in public schools.

Can’t think of one right now.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

Yes. If there is no accountability there can be tyranny and abuse of power.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Just getting started.

What committees interest you?

Elections, Education, Ethics and oversight.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Everything should be available to the people. Every government position; Governor, SOS, AG, Mayor, State Legislators, every government agency and those who contract with government agencies should be audited. Transparency a MUST!

Support. People have a right to petition for changes especially if they feel they are not being represented by their representatives.
