Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I'm proud to be a lifelong Democrat. I'm a small-business woman - a REALTOR. I know firsthand what a great place Middle Georgia is to live, work, and raise a family. I also know that we can do better. It's time for a change. It's time to have our public servants looking out for our families rather than themselves.
As our State Representative, I will continue to fight to bring more good jobs with good benefits to Middle Georgia. Together, we will make Middle Georgia one of the best places in the country for our families.
