I am the Democratic candidate for Representative District 74 in 2020.

I am a mother, attorney, and a member of the Chamber of Commerce in Paris.

Paris has been my home for the last ten years. I care about our jobs, our children, our education, and our environment. I have a lot of ideas to make people's lives better. It is time for change in District 74.
  • Green is good. The #1 job creator in the United States is solar energy. The #2 job creator in the United States is windmills. Arkansas is the "Natural State" and should lead the nation in green energy.
  • Education is key to our success. If we are to attract good paying jobs to our community, we must have an educated workforce. My campaign will focus on the importance of Universal Pre-K, E.S.L., and G.E.D.
  • Affordable Childcare that accommodates working families work schedules is vital to support working families and to ensure that our communities thrive.
When I decided to run for office, I thought about what could I do to make people's lives better if I actually was elected to serve them. I thought about all of the obstacles I encountered in my life and what support that I needed, what worked, and what could be made better.

First, I grew up in a blue collar community. I spent my teenage years working in fast food and my twenties going to college to become a school teacher. After graduation, I managed retail stores and then decided to go to law school. None of this could have been accomplished without hard work and pursuing a higher education. Education is key to our success. If elected, I will make sure that I represent my constituents to make sure that education is a top priority in my region and in the legislature.

Second, Arkansas is the "Natural State" and we should be leading our nation in green energy solutions, like solar energy and wind power. We should be planting trees to combat climate change. We should be planting wildflowers to help the bees and the butterflies thrive. Pollinators are responsible for between 30% to 40% of our crops and they have been on a sharp decline. We need to work together to save the planet for our children and our grandchildren.

Third, childcare must be affordable and accommodate working families work schedules. There are many people that work on the night shift and they need childcare to suit their needs.
I have always looked up to my teachers throughout my life. I know that the education that I received from them has enabled me to conquer obstacles, help other people solve problems in their life, and make a better life for my family.
An elected official has to lead. He or she has to be intelligent, hard working, and do what is right for their constituents and the state. He or she has to make sure that the voice of their community is heard in Little Rock. He or she has to be selfless and put the needs of others over their own.
My core responsibility will be to represent my community to the best of my ability. I will look for ways to make sure the concerns of my voters are heard in Little Rock. I will look for ways for my region and the state to lead the way forward in a changing economy.
As being the first female candidate to run for this position in this District, I would like to encourage other women to run for office. I want young girls to know that they can accomplish everything they want in life. I want to be a role model for them. Women can run their family, run a business, or run for office. The possibilities are endless.
I remember the Bicentennial in 1976. I remember it was special because our country turned 200 years old. We celebrated by going to a big parade with my Mom, my Aunt Florence, and my little brother. I remember waiving the American flag and holding my Aunt's hand as the marchers and the floats went by. It was a good day.
My first job was at Long John Silver's. I worked there as a cashier for two years during high school.
I believe it is beneficial for state legislators to have a law degree because they draft the statutes that become our law. I graduated with a J.D. from the University of Arkansas School of Law. I am an licensed attorney. I believe that my education and practical experience working as an attorney would be beneficial to our region in the Legislature.
Allocating resources to meet the needs of the community.

Climate change.

Technology impacting jobs.
Yes. As an attorney, I have found that some disputes are best resolved through negotiations in order to solve a problem. I look forward to using my skills to help my constituents in Region 74 in the Legislature.
Yes, I am interested in serving on several committees:

Education
Judiciary
House Parks & Tourism Subcommittee

or House Labor & Environment Subcommittee
Affordable childcare that accommodates the needs of working families. I represent a woman who is engaged in a custody battle that centers around who is the primary parent...what matters most quality of parenting or quantity of time that you spend with your children? My client is the Mom who takes care of her children after school, washes their clothes, helps them with their homework, cooks their dinner, and drives them to Dad's house where they sleep each night because Mom has to work the night shift and there is no around-the-clock childcare nearby. I want to solve her problem and those of her coworkers by looking at ways to bring affordable childcare to our region.
