I am a devoted Christian, a strong constitutional Conservative, and a steadfast Republican. A native Floridian, I have made District 2, Bay County my home since 1976. I have over two decades of service as both an educator and school principal, I have worked hard in my community fostering the academic development of students in some of the toughest schools in our region. I have been, the owner-operator of a thriving insulation company spanning locations from Panama City, Tallahassee, and Dothan, for years. I know how to budget money, and I know the people here in my district! I attended FSU and have earned a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, a Master's in Mathematics Education, and an Education Specialist postgraduate degree in Leadership and Policy, I am actively involved in numerous political and community organizations, including the Republican Liberty Caucus, Bay County Republican Executive Committee, Women's Republican Committee of Bay County, Moms for Liberty in Bay County, the Bay County Chamber of Commerce, and the Bay County Building Association. I live as an example of principled leadership, Christian values, and community engagement. I am ready to fight for you in Washington D.C. representing Congressional District 2.
- My priority is closing the southern border! The open border has allowed upward of 10 million illegal aliens to enter our country. This is challenging every area of our lives. We have an active invasion of primarily military-aged single males coming in from China, the Middle East, and all over the globe. This is causing a variety of problems. First, it attacks our local and federal funding for housing, food, medical care, education corrections, law enforcement, and legal services. it is allowing drugs, drug cartels, human traffickers, and criminals released from prisons and mental institutions to flood our communities. We need to enforce the laws that we have, as well as round up and deport all those who entered illegally.
- Inflation is crippling everyday hard-working Americans! We must reduce the size of our federal government! Our founding fathers never intended the federal government to insert itself in every part of our lives! They want to tell us what kind of car we can drive and what kind of stove we can have in our homes! We can reduce government spending and the government encroachment at the same time, thereby reducing inflation! Win-Win! We are supposed to have a government of the people for the people by the people! Currently, the federal government is playing loosely with the law using administrative rules to inflict their leftist agenda! They are destroying our financial superiority at an unparalleled rate!
- Stop the unchecked government spending! Our government has been spending money like it's growing on trees! We have an unprecedented national debt and equally devastating inflation. We must put America first! Stop sending our hard-earned tax dollars overseas to fund Ukraine! Stop funding illegal aliens! Bring back real trade tariffs on imports! Eliminate trade agreements that favor foreign countries over our citizens. Level the playing field for U.S. manufacturing and farming. Open the pipelines and regain our energy independence.
