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

I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2013. I was in ICU for 33 days and then took multiple chemotherapies for 2 years. I had to learn to walk and write again not to mention the mental and emotional toll my family and I had to defeat. Only by the grace of God and the strength of my family did I survive. That is why it's so important for me to pay it forward in this life. I have a deep caring for my community and their liberty.

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

I believe our education system needs a restoration of our foundational beliefs. To be about reading, writing, and arithmetic and less about social issues.

The spending of our tax dollars is out of control. It's not what you make it's what you spend. Reducing unnecessary spending on programs that do not directly benefit the people and their community needs.

The burdens of our community continue to fall on def ears. Spending more time in our community to directly understand what they face daily. Then to accurately represent their voice in the capitol.

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

The legislature should provide the path for our community and the governor should set the tone and implement those decisions made.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes. We all have ideas that will be beneficial to our community. We just need to make sure that our own wants and desires do not cloud our judgement. It's good to hold each other accountable.
