I am a family oriented person who looks forward to helping others and solving problems were other people can't. I got into politics for personal reasons and saw the things that were truly just wrong. I did attend college for criminal justice and am expanding that to law so I am able to push forward to help others. My passion is in politics is because I don't believe change is impossible,
- Speak with honesty, think with sincerity, act with integrity
- Nothing is impossible with persistance
- Action speaks volumes
Bringing back the basics into our education system. Pushing dental care as a necessity to a healthier life, holding all state agencies accountability for waste and fraud.
Dedication through out their entire term.
That the elected person has a responsibility to the people that voted for them to represent them to the best of their ability no matter what their own belief is.
Being able to really listen to your constituents.
No, because some seasoned politicians lose the passion of the site of what is truly important. Because people with no experience will have other experiences in life that will help them in their future positions in politics.
