In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a Christ-Centered Conservative who is a dedicated believer in and follower of Jesus Christ as the only Lord and only Savior of humankind. I have a biblical worldview and I make decisions based on prayer, godly Christ-centered counsel, and God's wisdom found in the Holy Bible.

I've positioned myself INDEPENDENT of political party coercion and corruption which permeates both Democrat and Republican parties. I had a front-row seat during the 2020 primaries and general election watching the CO Republican Party chaired by Ken Buck participate in bullying grassroots candidates and rigging the primary election against grassroots candidates. There is a war going on in the Republican Party from the top down between the corrupt GOPe (establishment) including Ken Buck and the GOPg (grassroots) who are attempting to purge out the corrupt career politicians like Ken Buck.

Ken Buck is a complete hypocrite who states on his website he keeps the DC swamp in check all the while creating and maintaining a swamp in the Colorado Republican Party. He also states he has an "Independent" voice. It's so ridiculous...it's laughable.

I am married to a wonderful man, Grant. We have a daughter, Lily. We also have two dogs named Bruno and Stella. We have a bird named Pyper.

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?

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) Jesus said it, I believe it.We need reasonable not radical policies whether left or right.America First Is NOT A Biblical Value

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Agriculture, Rural Development, Energy and Water Development, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Immigration

Ensuring agriculture and rural development are fully supported in the district and country.

Ensuring renewable energy is balanced with oil and gas keeping financial costs and burdens of use in mind. It doesn't have to be an either-or scenario. In 2020, Texas and Germany proved we cannot rely solely upon renewable energy. Why the Democrats are at war against oil and gas and why the Republicans are at war against renewable energy is unreasonable. It is radical, not reasonable politics.

Ensuring transportation/supply chains within and outside the country are operating at peak performance. We are currently in a crisis affecting all aspects of the quality of life of people within and outside the country. The supply chains have failed. If we don't fix this problem then the quality of life will continue to spiral down for all citizens.

Ensuring water sources for farmers/ranchers alongside clean and secure water sources for residents. Both sides of the issue are equally important.
