Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for Nebraska's Legislative District 31 open seat because I have the experience and common sense conservative values that are necessary to take on the challenges facing our community and state.
As a successful small business owner I understand the importance of promoting free enterprise, providing tax relief for business owners, balancing a budget and creating jobs. As a taxpayer I want my hard-earned tax dollars to be spent responsibly and transparently and tax relief for all hardworking Nebraska families and seniors. As a devoted mother, wife and community leader I am committed to protecting pro-family values and providing our children with the first class education and future they deserve by reducing bureaucracy, ensuring more local control and school choice.
As your State Senator, I will work hard to fight for those common sense conservative values that will build a healthier economy, stronger families and schools. I am committed to making our community and Nebraska an even better place to live, work and raise a family.
