Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a wife, mom, farmer, small business owner. I was a criminal defense paralegal for over 11 years before entering the political world. My husband and I have two teenage boys that go to Springport Public Schools.

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 continue to fight for tax reform. You deserve to keep more of your hard earned money and I will be your voice in Lansing to work for that.Parents should be involved in their child's education. As a mom, and wife of a school board member, I know how important it is to be involved so we raise productive members of society.I will continue to fight for business in Michigan. Working with stakeholders to make our region more site ready will increase the attraction to Michigan. We want our future generations to stay, work and play in MIchigan.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Currently, I serve on Appropriations. That gives me great insight as to how government works and the many departments that we have. My passion lies in the justice system and agriculture. From my prior experience as a paralegal, I have many contacts in my network who work in the justice system and help me better understand what is going on and how to make it better. Agriculture is a part of my daily life and making sure my neighbors, friends, and other farmers we know are able to have the tools in place to be productive to our state. We can't grow more farm land and we need to preserve what we have and take care of what we have to make sure we thrive in the ag world for years to come.
