Wife, Mother, Grassroots Activist, Businesswoman. I am a Candidate for the state legislature and have been a consistent, conservative leader for years. I have fought Whitmer's illegal shutdown orders for over a year. A descendent of Revolutionary War veterans, I take my faith, family and, constitutional principles as my guiding values.
- Restoring the proper role of government to We the People.
- Uphold and defend the Constitution as written.
- Ensuring the rule of law is upheld and those who break it are held responsible.
Election Integrity, Parental Choice, Medical Freedom and Privacy, Constitutional Carry and the 2nd Amendment.
George Washington. He understood that the idea of We the People in a self governing role was bigger than one person. He understood the sacrifice and immense struggle it would take to uphold the values of all people with limited government and was willing to walk away for the sake of the Republic.
To Defend the Constitution of the United States of America. That is it. Simple but more important today than ever before.
Never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in.
Whatever it Takes by Imagine Dragons
Separate but equal. The Governor should work with those from all walks of life that are sent to represent the body of Michigan as a whole.
Overreaching government and overspending mixed with corporate welfare and excessive regulations.
It can be but it is necessary. The state of our Government is in disarray partly because we have assumed this matters more than other attributes.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
