“I was once a high school dropout. At a young age, I decided to focus on raising my children and providing for my family. For years, I put my dreams on hold while working and doing everything I could to create stability at home. When my children were grown, I decided to take my life back and invest in myself.”
(Ballotpedia 2026 Candidate Connection Survey) “I went back to school, earned my degree in accounting, and I am now pursuing a master’s degree in leadership. I have spent years watching decisions being made that did not reflect the needs of everyday people. Through my involvement in local leadership programs and community discussions, I saw clearly which leaders show up and which ones do not.”

The cost of groceries, housing, utilities, and basic necessities continues to rise while wages are not keeping up. Too many people are working hard and still struggling to get ahead. That is not right. I understand this because I have lived it.”
