Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a small business owner, a proud wife to a first responder, an alumnus of the United States Naval War College, and the former Deputy Chief of Staff to Rep. Ted Yoho.

Over the past decade, I've had the opportunity to meet many great community leaders, small business owners, veterans, and farmers in FL-03. Working on behalf of Rep. Yoho, we were able to bring much-needed improvements to FL-03. We worked to support President Trump in his efforts to cut taxes, protect the sanctity of life, reduce spending, remove regulations, defend the Second Amendment, ensure quality medical care for our veterans, and secure our southern border.

I too am proud to stand with President Trump and the work he has done on behalf of the American people. It is vital that us Floridians send a representative to Washington to advocate for an America First agenda.

We are building a grassroots movement to send a new voice to Washington - the voice of a young, constitutional conservative woman who is energized by the values and people of this district. Join with me and help send a fresh voice and new perspective to our Nation's Capitol.

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?

Fighting illegal immigration: Be assured that on day one, as your Representative, I will work with the Trump Administration to help build the wall and secure the border. You can also be certain that I will never support amnesty of any kind for those who illegally enter our country. We are a nation of laws and those laws must be enforced. The failures to stop unauthorized crossings over the past several decades have led to serious national security threats and an influx of individuals who have illegally entered our county. It has to will be your voice on Capitol Hill to fight for a physical barrier, new technologies, and increased personnel to accomplish the goal of keeping our country safe and stemming the flow of illegal immigration.Protecting the Second Amendment: I will always uphold and defend our Second Amendment Rights. As a concealed carry permit holder and wife to a first responder, I am adamant about protecting this most basic American right. As a board member for the Alachua County Friends of NRA, I have put my beliefs into action by working to defend our right to keep and bear arms. When I worked as Representative Ted Yoho's former Deputy Chief of Staff, I was proud to fight to protect our gun rights on Capitol Hill. You can be certain that when elected to Congress, I will continue Representative Yoho's advocacy against any attempt by the Left to take those rights away.Defending the unborn: I am pro-life and I will fight to protect the unborn at all costs. Life begins at conception and I will never waver in my advocacy on this incredibly important issue. As a young, pro-life woman, I will have a unique opportunity to advocate for the unborn on Capitol Hill in a way that will speak directly to younger voters. If elected, I look forward to being a vocal supporter of the pro-life movement both in Florida and on Capitol Hill.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As the wife of a first responder, the granddaughter of two WWII veterans, the niece to two Vietnam Veterans, and the sister of a decorated and career Air Force veteran who served three tours in Iraq, supporting those who serve is of paramount importance to me. During my seven years as Rep. Ted Yoho's Deputy Chief of Staff, I spearheaded the funding and building of four new VA clinics here in our District. My work with veterans and first responders has truly been some of the most rewarding during my time in that office. We must ensure that the men and women who wore the uniform are given the respect that they have earned and the tools that they need to succeed when they return home. Supporting those who have served also requires an experienced leader who knows how to navigate the endless bureaucracy of the VA. Our veterans do not have time to wait, which is why it is important to elect someone who knows how to hit the ground running on day one. My husband is a firefighter and SWAT Medic, so I am acutely aware of the needs and challenges facing our local first responder community. As a testament to how important this issue is to me, my husband and I are proud to have co-founded a non-profit organization called "The Grit Foundation," with the mission of supporting local law enforcement, veterans, and first responders.

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

The main responsibility for a Member of Congress is to uphold and defend the United States Constitution. It is imperative for our representative to keep the words of our Founding Fathers at the forefront before voting on any piece of legislation. Regrettably, many in Washington fail to do this.

In addition, I strongly believe that another important duty of a representative is to help their constituents navigate departments within the federal government. As a former deputy chief of staff, I understand how to do this and will be a strong advocate for my constituents on day one.

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

My first job was at our family business, which was in commercial sandblasting and headstones. I worked there for many years until I was in my 20s.

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

Friends in Low Places, Garth Brooks

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

In 2011, my family received the devastating news that we lost our cattle ranch to a failed Obama-era housing program and we were forced to evict.

After being homeless for several months, I was contacted by Ted Yoho about joining his campaign in Florida. Motivated by my recent personal experience with the failures of big government, I agreed and traveled to Florida in September of 2011. Upon arrival, I worked hard to overcome the struggles I was faced with and joined the Ted Yoho for Congress campaign as Ted's campaign manager and helped secure Ted's victory in the 2012 national upset election.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

If we do not tackle our skyrocketing debt and deficits and rein in out of control spending, the financial impact on our country will become our greatest challenge for the next decade and decades to come.

Washington does not have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. We need bold leaders who will look to cut taxes, reform our tax code to make the system flatter and fairer, and significantly reduce spending. I have proudly signed the Americans for Tax Reform's "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" where I promised you, the voter, that I will always oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and or businesses.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I am a firm believer that career politicians have led our Nation into nearly $23 trillion of debt and have failed to fix the broken programs they started. That is why I am proud to sign the U.S. Term Limits pledge in order to help hold politicians accountable. A limit on the time an individual can serve brings new ideas to Capitol Hill, wears away at the culture of political corruption, and ensures positive change. In addition to encouraging fellow candidates across the country to sign this pledge, I am appealing to the American people to enact the term limits power we the people currently have and get out the vote. Each election provides an opportunity for the electorate to term limit the career politicians and I implore each American citizen to make their voice heard.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I would look to continue and build upon much of the great work Representative Ted Yoho has done for our district. As his former longtime deputy chief of staff and campaign manager, I had the opportunity to learn from and work alongside Representative Yoho for many years. During his time in Congress, Ted served FL-03 incredibly well and I couldn't think of a better public servant to model myself after if I am given the honor to also represent our District in Washington.
