I am a Christian, Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Nurse, Small Business Owner, and Grassroots Leader. I have lived in Brownstown Twp. the majority of my life. In June of 2021 we lost our daughter in a motorcycle accident at age 24, and we are now raising our 3 young grandchildren, ages 4, 6, and 8. We have 2 adult sons and family means everything to us. I am a strong Constitutional Conservative and I believe in securing the rights granted to us under The Constitution of The United States of America. As a Nurse and a Mom, I am a fierce advocate for the protection of Individual Rights and Medical Freedom. I believe Strong Families build strong Communities. As a Small Business Owner I understand how it felt to almost lose our business due to the lock-downs. My husband and I own a small kitchen cabinet painting business. Our business is not just a business, it is what he and I enjoy doing together. It was a weekend hobby that flourished into a successful business.
  • I support Secured Elections
  • I believe our country was founded on Christian values and our inalienable rights come from God. I believe in Freedom, Prosperity, and Hope.
  • I believe life starts at conception and I will always fight for the rights of our unborn.
As your next State Representative I will stand by legislation that defends our current Michigan State Constitution that deems abortion illegal. Should Roe v. Wade be overturned I will block any and all attempts to legalize abortion in our state. I am opposed to any and all "Red Flag" gun laws, and I am an advocate for Constitutional Carry. I will initiate legislation that holds any and all government entities accountable, both legally and criminally for unconstitutionally shutting down our businesses. I stand by Medical Freedom and I am opposed to vaccine mandates of any kind. I support repealing the Michigan Gas Tax. I am in support of looking at alternate means to repair our roads. I stand with parents on their parental rights in the classroom, and I will demand transparency, accountability, and better from our department of education. I am opposed to CRT, SEL, and Common Core in the classroom. As a Nurse I am gravely concerned about the mental health crisis in Michigan. As a legislature I will support free market solutions to our Healthcare Insurance disparities.
Integrity, Morals and Values, and the ability to represent all of the people they serve.
I am a person of integrity. I am passionate about what I believe in. I am an effective communicator. I possess strong critical thinking skills. I am a born advocate, and I do not bend on my morals and my values. I put others before myself, and I will represent the people and no special interest organization.
I gave birth to my first child, my daughter, when I was 20 years old. I was induced and failed to progress. I had a C-Section. I contracted an infection while in the hospital and due to the antibiotics I was told I could not breastfeed my daughter. I challenged the staff, educated myself, empowered myself, and went on to breastfeed my daughter until she was a toddler. I then challenged the doctor that told me I would never be able to deliver a child without a C-Section. I went on to give birth to both of my sons naturally, one at home with a midwife. In my early twenties it became very clear to me that education and advocacy is what empowers individuals to overcome the odds. I began to challenge everything. I fight for what I believe in and I do not bend on my morals and values.
The Awakening by Kate Chopin. I fell in love with it in college. It opened my eyes to the struggles women face with expected roles, femininity, and life.
The ideal relationship would involve mutual respect. There must be accountability and transparency. A separation of powers and a check and balance system must to be in place.
Yes, I agree 100%. Relationships built on mutual respect and coming together on what we do agree on is key to our Republic.
Yes. As a Nurse I would like to be on a Healthcare Committee, and as a Mother and Grandmother raising her grandchildren I would like to be on an Education Committee. I am also very passionate about the Socioeconomic disparity in our district.

Scorecards

Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
