Favorite President and Why:
Jimmy Carter. He was a model of honesty and integrity we seldom see in our political process.
Favorite Quote:
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." ~Dwight D Eisenhower~
Priority Issues:
I was a full time working mother. I have three children. I have experienced the challenge women are facing attempting to compete for economic equality while maintaining primary responsibility for our children, our future generation.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:
In Washington we see political paralysis, two parties that can't work together. Nothings getting done in Washington. People are frustrated. We need independent candidates.
