I currently reside in Casper, Wyoming. I have lived in my current home since July 2019. I have lived in Wyoming since 1978. I was born in Broken Bow, Nebraska.

I am uniquely qualified to serve Senate District 27 because of my professional experience and a strong record of community service. I work as a paralegal in family law helping families through difficult situations and gaining practical knowledge of the legal system and working with the statutes that are considered and possibly passed on the Senate floor. I am working toward my Master's in Mental Health Counseling to further help our community. I am serving in the Republican party and volunteer on nonprofit boards to engage in different facets of our communities. As a wife, mother, and Wyoming woman, I understand the values and challenges facing our communities and will bring principled, conservative leadership to Cheyenne.

Wyoming faces serious challenges in mental and physical healthcare access, the rising cost of living, and the need for a stronger, more diverse economy. As a legislator, I would support efforts to expand access to mental and physical healthcare services, recruit and retain healthcare providers, and remove barriers that keep care out of rural communities. I would also fight for responsible policies that will help Wyoming families such as encouraging business growth, job creation, and economic diversification so Wyoming can remain a place where families thrive and future generations can stay and build lives.

We need to recruit and retain providers to all of Wyoming. This can be accomplished by reducing unnecessary regulations that make it harder to practice in Wyoming. Provide incentives for providers to care for individuals in rural areas. Promoting price transparency, support competition and looking at possible medical liability reforms to help bring down the cost of malpractice insurance.

No, I do not support the sell or transfer of public land in Wyoming. Land management decisions should be made by the people of Wyoming. We are the owners of the land. I will support strong state and local input, protect multiple use, defend access for recreation, grazing, and responsible energy production, and making sure that our land is managed in a way that respects our heritage and way of life. Decisions should be made openly, with meaningful involvement from local communities, so that Wyoming voices are heard and our natural resources are managed responsibly.

Any solution to this must balance the homeowner and property owner with the need for counties, schools, and local services to remain funded. I support thoughtful, responsible tax relief that helps families with rising costs, while also respecting local control and recognizing the different revenue structures and needs across Wyoming. I would look for solutions that provide relief without creating unintended harm for essential services of public safety, roads, and education. Working with local governments, taxpayers, and community leaders to develop fair and flexible policies for each Wyoming community.

The Wyoming Legislature has a limited but important role in economic development. The legislature should help encourage a stable, business-friendly environment where private enterprise can grow. The legislature can help by reducing unnecessary regulation, support infrastructure, encourage workforce development, and adopt policies that help businesses invest, hire, and succeed in Wyoming.

Campaign donations should be legal, transparent, and never allowed to influence the voice of the people I am elected to serve. My campaign will be conducted with honesty, integrity, and full compliance with the law. Wyoming's system for monitoring campaigns should be reviewed regularly to ensure that it is transparent, easy for the public to understand, and candidates can clearly and transparently comply with campaign disclosures.
