I am the mother of Sheena and Savanah, grandmother of Jake, a local businesswoman who has created more than 1,000 jobs in our community, and a community leader who supports numerous organizations that protect our neighborhoods. I am running for Assembly District 4 and I know what we need to do to get Nevada back on track.

My decision to enter the Assembly District 4 race is based on a sincere desire to serve my community. I’m proud to have made Las Vegas my family’s home for more than 20 years. I raised my two daughters here and have watched them grow into strong and independent Nevada women. They attended our public schools and very soon my grandson will also. I believe a quality education is the best gift we can give our children and grandchildren, and you have my word that I will fight to increase accountability in the classroom. I believe that parents should have the ultimate say in their child’s education, and that we need to reward our best teachers.

As a Nevada business owner, I don’t just talk about job creation – I have created more than 1,000 jobs in our community. Our businesses and families are spending too much time and money dealing with taxation, regulation, and litigation. We need legislation that keeps taxes low and predictable so that business will relocate to Nevada and entrepreneurs will feel confident starting new ventures.

I believe in serving my community. I’ve volunteered thousands of hours with the Trauma Intervention Program where I have been honored to help the most amazing and courageous people as they cope with the most tragic moments of their lives. I’ve volunteered on the Metro Use of Force Board because I believe our government should be accountable on every level. I’ve had the privilege of working with our Metro SWAT team to provide safe environments for them to practice live drills to keep our neighborhoods and communities safe.

Like never before, our state needs people with strong conservative values and real world experience in  creating jobs and making payroll to step up and provide solutions to Nevada's problems. I’m a solid conservative and an unapologetic straight-talker. You can count on me to be a steady voice in the Nevada Legislature for common sense solutions, job creation, and responsible government spending.
