For 10 generations my family has resided here in Christian County. I am extremely blessed to have grown up here where the family values and traditions are strong. As a child and teen, I attended Victory Baptist Church where I grew in my faith, dedication and reliance on God's strength. After graduating Ozark High School in 1988, I attended Southwest Baptist University where I married and started a family. After graduating I worked as an executive for the Boy Scouts of America on the western slope of Colorado. After my time there was done, I was blessed to work in the ministry field on church staff as education/youth minister and later, directing christian camps in Texas and here in Missouri.

Our public schools are critical in developing the future leaders of Christian County and beyond. Improving our public schools is something we all support. Better schools start with local control of education. I believe decisions in education should be made by parents, teachers, principals, and local school boards, not politicians.I will stand for and fight for all life. To protect and defend the most fundamental right of humankind, the right to life of every innocent human being from the beginning of life to natural death. I will be a representative of all living person, inside and outside the womb. I will work to protect and defend the right for life of every citizen.The right of Americans to keep and bear arms is as relevant now as it was when our founding fathers wrote it in our Bill of Rights. Our Second Amendment rights are guaranteed in the Constitution for a reason, and that right must not be infringed upon by any level of government.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
1. Honoring our family unit and empowering them in raising their children.
2. Giving our educators higher wages and benefits as they are on the front lines of educating our future.
3. Shrinking our government so that the local communities are able to make decisions that relate to their communities.
4. Ensuring our right to bear arms.
5. To ban abortion for any reason and put an end to fetal research/stem cell science.
6. Protecting religious freedoms.
7. Making medical care and medications affordable for all and not just those able to afford insurance.
8. Create more jobs that pay competitive wages worthy of raising a family.
9. Ensuring that our tax dollars are being spent wisely and that projects are prioritized toward the greatest needs.
10. Attack the drug/opioid problem infecting our society and increase opportunities to overcome the addictions. Also to increase law enforcements ability to track and put a stop to the manufacture and distribution of drugs.
