| Collapse all
I am an American Citizen who loves this country, my state and the opportunities and principles they stand for. My political values are conservative Republican. I have worked in many sectors of the corporate and legal world as well as successfully owned and sold several small businesses of my own. I am a native Californian and my husband of 40 years and I have lived in the Pacific Northwest,, Midwest and most states in the Southeast during our marriage. In 2005 we chose to make Lebanon, Tennessee our home when I took the position of Chief Operating Officer of a global event planning company headquartered there. Everywhere we have lived I have volunteered for various charitable organizations and here in Lebanon I am a graduate or Leadership Wilson class of 2008 and Past President of the Wilson County Community Help Center between 2010-2012. Currently I have helped cook meals and monitored overnight housing for Compassionate Hands project for the homeless.
- As a citizen I am increasingly dismayed by the divisiveness, bickering and polarization in our government. It is time while we still can to make a different choice with our votes….time we stop electing career politicians and start electing each other….average citizens who pledge to use common sense, find common ground and WORK TOGETHER to resolve our issues peacefully.
- I pledge to use my common sense, and committed to work with other Representatives to establish common ground upon which to draft and pass legislation to protect the freedom and liberties endowed to us by our creator namely the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and limiting government overreach.
- I support term limits......either by using our votes or by constitutional amendment.
The Constitution
Criminal Justice
Legal Immigration
Election Security
Law & Order
Fiscal Responsibility
Right to Life
Age Appropriate Factual Education
I look up to God. I would like to follow the example set by Jesus Christ.....not to the extent of crucifixion but in terms of the lessons he gave us on how to love one another and live life on this earth.
Always stay connected with your district
Always listen to your constituents
Always keep your district informed
Stand firm always for the liberty and safety of your constituents
That we TOGETHER changed the face of the Legislative Branch of our Government and showed the rest of the country how to REUNITE
The assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was a 15 year old high school freshman, dressing for gym class when the announcement came over the loudspeaker.
Principal's Secretary at St. Rose Academy, San Francisco, CA. Served as Principal's Secretary, Assistant Registrar, Beginning & Advanced Calligraphy Instructor, Curriculum Developer, Yearbook Advisor, European Travel Chaperone, Fundraising Chair, and Accreditation Team Member during my 5 year tenure.
Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh because it is a modern day approach to knowing that you are part of God and he has a sense of humor.
Wonder Woman - I want her truth rope!
It possesses a representative from every corner of this country, with all of its problems to solve......a rich microcosm of ideas, lifestyles, ethnicities, religions, and politics from the depths of the largest cities to the wide open spaces of the plains, from the mountains to the seashores of this beautiful experimental land of opportunity and of the free. Unique?
Not at this time. At this moment I believe that common sense and the commitment to working together is what is needed.
1 Coming together and regaining our strength in the world.
2. It will take us some time to recover from COVID and the decisions made in the past year.
3. Beyond that, we must address racism, whether real or perceived.....we must overcome it! We must
start with educating both those who feel it and those who perceive it on how to get past such a huge
obstacle and together make plans and implement steps to move beyond it as a stumbling block. We are
all equal....we need to all feel equal.
4. We must address energy independence and I believe we need to start by allowing oil production to
provide us with the resources to reinstate our independence while we simultaneously move to
discover the safest way to proceed with providing our country with energy consistent with protecting
against climate change.
5. The education of our children is of critical importance......we have been asleep at the wheel long
enough to allow them to be indoctrinated with socialist and communist ideals that could destroy this
country. Parents must be involved to make sure that the truth is told about our history and the ability
to accept it and find the good taught as well. Parents must be involved to make sure that children are
taught what they need to know when they need to know it.
Though I imagine serving on any committee will be a privilege, I would be interested in being a part of
Ways and Means
Small Business
Select Committee on Jan 6
Homeland Security
Early Childhood Education
Civil Rights and Civil Liberties
I favor term limits. I believe they function as a protection against the tendency to build a power structure based on longevity.....i.e. dictators. It works for the office of the President. I would support implementing term limits for Congress as well. The two party system has become toxic and non productive and I believe we have dictators at the head of each party. I do not believe the framers of the Constitution intended to create this branch of the government to be a lifetime career. I believe they imagined that citizens would be elected to take their life experience and common sense to Washington to represent their districts and work with other representatives to draft the laws of the country and then go home back to their lives. Term Limits would provide for that. I also believe that the atmosphere created by senior members only being there for 2 or 4 years longer than a freshman would be one of welcoming new ideas and cooperation rather than the current "my way or the highway" if your party is in the majority or "obstruction" if your party is in the minority.
No..... I am a fan of Newt Gingrich and his opinions but he basically represents exactly the opposite of what i believe is needed in the House of Representatives right now. He represents centralizing of the power in the speaker of the house and I believe that is dangerous.
Not yet, but I am very new at this.
I prefer not to use compromise as to many it means having to give up something or give in to something.
I would rather collaborate with others to make policy.......by finding common ground and building upon what we agree on and taking step by step in agreement to develop our best plan for reaching policy. ....a totally different mindset.
I believe in turning to and relying on the Constitution.
