Priority Issues:

"I am the people in We the people. I want what everyone else wants. To live in a community where there are job opportunities that pay a wage that we can live on. I want us to remember our elderly that paved the way for us, but are now struggling to pay bills and keep up with technology. I want our children to get a good education and fair shot in life. I want higher education to be more affordable. I want us as a community to have the audacity to stand up for our children, not elect public officials that vote for cutting our education budget. Shouldn't we be investing in our children? Yet hundreds of Kentucky's children become abuse statistics every day. I am a concerned person who gets weary when I hear that Mercer County has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the State. I am concerned that the voice of the community voice is not being heard or represented by elected officials. I am running because there are people in District 55, some of whom are homeless children, that don't have a safe place to go. One of the top five calls to our local police departments involves domestic violence and yet we don't have a domestic violence shelter or a safe haven for our community. How in the midst of a substance abuse epidemic are we not offering a rehab clinic? KAP isn't cutting it. I am burdened that we call ourselves Christians and yet our voice is being silenced daily because we are so afraid of speaking up just to not offend others. I am grieved that we are turning a blind eye, but it's Time to Put Kentuckians First. As your Representative of District 55 I will that be that voice that cries out in the wilderness because I am the people and we are the people."
