Over 20 years ago, my husband and I decided to move our family to Missouri and we discovered the wonderful Christian County community.
As a retired registered nurse of 35+ years, I have always worked to be a strong advocate for people. I believe that part of being an advocate is to show respect for other's beliefs and choices. During my career, I held various positions in leadership, advocacy and teaching roles and understand firsthand the challenges of health care over the course of several decades. Every single day, people's lives are changed in an instant for better or worse, depending upon the availability, quality, equity and cost of health care.
We are at a turning point where we need elected leaders who will put the interests of people first. We need elected leaders in Jefferson City who will fully support public education; who support economic resiliency by bringing our paid tax dollars back to our community; who support policies for a stable economy; who support access to safe, equitable and affordable health care. We needed representatives in Jefferson City who we can depend on to help us build communities that will thrive in the future so that we as individuals can benefit as well.
The great state of Missouri and our Christian County community need leaders who will commit to work together for the interests of the people they represent. I promise that I will work to represent our collective principals and interests. I look forward to meeting you and ask for your vote to elect me as your state representative for District 140.
