In their own words
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
Currently finishing my Master's in Elementary with an emphasis on Special Education, I have spent my career learning how to advocate for those who cannot always speak for themselves. In my profession, I see the inherent dignity in every heartbeat daily. Defending life means fighting for the unborn and fighting for the student with a learning disability who the system has written off. I believe in the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and I defend life.

Protect our citizens and children from illegal criminals, who rape, murder, kidnap/human traffickers who are force into organized criminal enterprises. When arrested they will go through the process of being photographed, fingerprinted and DNA tested, to see if they have committed crimes against our citizens.DOGE all funding from past and present governors, to locate fraud and misappropriations. My administration will balance the Co. State Budget within the first 18 months of my administration.In my profession, I know how state programs for the vulnerable can be bogged down by fraud and waste. My administration will investigate state education programs to ensure every dollar intended for a child with special needs reaches that child’s desk, not a consultant's pocket.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Education, Safety, and removal of fraudulent spending.
