Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I believe we can improve and strengthen our government with good ideas, hard work and strong values. I have a track record in my community. My husband and I are the proud parents of two teenage children and I am a small business owner. I know the issues that affect real people, and i will bring this mentality to the State House.

I'm running for State Representative because the only way it's going to get better in Rhode Island is with a State House that has new priorities -- one focused on people and what matters to them. Aquidneck Island needs someone ready to roll up their sleeves and work -- not for themselves but for all of us. For our community.
