I am a proud Arizonan of over 30 years and an active member of the Chandler community. I dedicated my entire professional career to our public schools, working as a teacher and principal. After retiring from my career in education, I continued to give back to my community and worked closely with groups like Save Our Schools Arizona and the League of Women Voters. I have always been in the business of helping people and these experiences have shaped my campaign platform. My number one priority is fully funding our public school and providing them with the resources they need to support students and retain qualified teachers. I know that we must address our drought and ensure access to clean water for future generations. I believe in protecting healthcare privacy for all Arizonans, including the right to choose. As a retired educator, mother, and grandmother, I have exactly the kind of experience that the Arizona Senate needs.

As your legislator, I've written some of Arizona's most consequential laws. They include: Protecting health coverage for Arizonans with pre-existing conditions, raising teacher pay by 20% (which was the largest education investment in state history), protecting survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, confronting the opioid epidemic, shielding seniors from financial exploitation, creating veteran-friendly college campuses, stopping short term rental "party houses" from disrupting neighborhoods, reforming Arizona's tax code into a flat tax (which was the biggest tax cut ever), increasing Arizona's Rainy Day Fund savings, balancing the budget, and passing responsible commonsense election integrity measures like the Voter ID proposition on your ballot. That's why I've received awards like Guardian of Small Business, Champion of the Taxpayer, Friend of the Family, Open Government Leader, and many others. There are those who want to undo all the progress we've made and turn us into their version of today's California. We can't let that happen. That's why I need your vote. Let me continue using my diverse background, which includes husband (to a registered nurse), father to two adorable little girls, professor, and small business owner, with master's degrees in business and public administration, to keep delivering results for you.

After moving to Chandler in 1999, Arizona is the place I call "home." It's an amazing state but the things that make it successful are under attack. Ironically, liberals fleeing high-tax, high-regulation states are moving to low-tax, low-regulation states like Arizona, but they're bringing their liberal policies and voting habits with them. We need to make sure we don't let this leftward push ruin everything that's working in Arizona. I'll work to end COVID mandates, protect school choice/parental rights, and secure borders. I'll advocate for election integrity to have honest/fair elections and the enforcement of our laws. I'll work for a strong economy and safe neighborhoods. And I'll oppose efforts to raise taxes or give government greater control over our lives and daily decisions. As a servant leader for the last several decades, I am committed to you and I will work tirelessly to get the job done! I'm a mother, blessed with three great kids. I've worked in real estate for the last 17 years and have served in a variety of community and industry positions. I ask for your vote so Julie Willoughby and I can get to work to do all I can for Arizona and our district!

I am running for re-election to the Arizona House of Representatives as a person who cares deeply about the state. I was born and raised in Arizona; my husband and I chose to raise our daughters here. In 2016, I left the classroom to run for legislative office. During my two terms, I have served on the House Education Committee. I have supported bills that positively impact students from K-12 through university. Some of these include preschool funding, gifted funding, adult education and work-force development, and more counselors. Voting rights are of great concern to people who live in the district. When voting on these bills, it is important that they are constitutional and able to be implemented. Voting should be simple, yet secure. Finally, as desert dwellers, we must understand the importance of water. The decisions we make as legislators will impact Arizonans for decades. We must be thoughtful and include a multitude of stakeholders as we contemplate how we will allocate(and perhaps augment) water in Arizona. There is much work to be done in these areas and many others. I am committed to showing up and thoroughly doing my job in a thoughtful, contemplative manner.
