Favorite President and Why:
Ronald Reagan because when he entered office, the misery index (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) was 19.99%. Through his use of deregulation and tax reform, he lowered it to 9.72% by the time he left. Not to mention the fact his economic boom created over 16 million jobs.
Favorite Quote:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead

Attending school sporting events with friends, politics, quilting, shooting clays, ice skating, and playing piano.
Mother's Name:
Andrea Blair
Priority Issues:
I am a fiscal conservative. I'm Pro-Life. I'm Pro-Marriage. I'm Pro-Family. I'm Pro-Second Amendment. I'm also Pro-Business because that's where jobs come from. These are my core personal and political beliefs!
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
One of the reasons that I'm running for the 59th House of Delegates seat is to demonstrate to young people that we shouldn't have to wait until we're 40, 50, or 60 to realize that conservative principles are beneficial to all age brackets. I want to help lead today's youth down the conservative pathway to prosperity and success.
