Good morning friends, neighbors, and fellow members of District 12.
I want to start by saying something you don’t often hear from someone asking for your vote: I’m not a politician.
I’m a mom of four girls. I’m a wife to a hard-working small business owner. I’m a realtor, and I’m a former teacher who spent 13 years in the classroom pouring into our children and our future. I’ve lived real life — the kind where you balance bills, kids, and a thousand daily challenges — and I’ve stood face-to-face with the realities of our judicial system. I’ve seen it from all sides, and let me tell you, I do not play when it comes to doing what is right.
I’m not here to give you pretty speeches or political spin. I’m not here to tell you what I think you want to hear. I’m here because I believe District 12 deserves someone who will listen — someone who will truly advocate for the people who live and work here.
No matter how I personally feel about the issues that come across my desk, I will listen to you. I will represent you. I will fight for you — because that’s what real representation looks like. This seat doesn’t belong to a party or a politician — it belongs to the people.
And let me be clear: I cannot be bought. Not by big money, not by special interests, not by backroom deals. My loyalty is to my community — to the moms, dads, teachers, farmers, business owners, and everyday folks who make up the backbone of District 12.
So if you’re tired of the same old politics, if you want a voice that reflects your values and your needs — then I ask for your support. Not as a politician, but as your advocate.
Together, let’s bring honesty, courage, and common sense back to Montgomery.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless District 12.
