Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

As a former elected official of the City of Fairburn, I understand smart and sustainable solutions are key to transforming people’s lives and responding to the needs of the communities I serve. And I am the mother of 7 children, a child of sharecroppers from Georgia and Alabama who relocated to New Jersey in the mid-1950s and became factory workers.

Working was essential to our family’s survival, and I worked with the end goal of helping to support my siblings. As the oldest daughter of 5 children and the first college graduate in my family, I learned how to advocate for myself and others as a means of survival. Work and advocacy have always been core values for our family, and so I understand why families in District 67 are asking for an expanded economy with sustainable career opportunities for their children’s future.

Compassion for others fuels my advocacy for the common good of families and communities. This same passion, aligned with my skill sets in human and community development, education, economic growth, and environmental sustainability with the ability to collaborate, will translate into our region’s ability to attract high-paying jobs, expand entrepreneurship, support education initiatives to make up for the learning loss, and enhance parks and recreation. I am running to expand Better Educational, Economic and Environmental Outcomes for District 67, youth to seniors.

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?

I will promote educational recovery strategies and support fully funded public schools. I will ensure funding is available to substantially increase paid apprenticeships as a viable option for high school students and returning workers to become the new skilled workforce.I support a living wage and will promote regional economic development and new market opportunities by incentivizing job creation through state job credits in new and essential markets coupled with robust state-wide job training programs, small-business development and entrepreneurship.I promote and will work to ensure environmental sustainable accountability by working with state officials to ensure safety protocols are being followed at our local landfills and promote safeguards and responsibility for waterways to keep them environmentally safe.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about using policy to address the most pressing issues facing District 67. I understand why families in District 67 are asking for an expanded economy with sustainable career opportunities for their children’s future. The top three issues impacting our communities are Educational Recovery, Regional Economic Development and New Market Opportunities, and Environmentally Sustainable Accountability. People of color disproportionately bear climate impacts, including the aftereffects of storms, polluting industries in their neighborhoods, lack of green resources, and more. We can choose to change this reality. We must protect our Natural Resources: soil, air quality, waterways, and saving greenspace.
