| 1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected? | When I first ran for public office as a township trustee it was simply because I wanted to give back to my community and be involved in decisions that affect the lives of children and families. I won my election and currently serve as ELA Township Trustee. Then, my middle schooler came home with a book list that was filled with lesbian and gay books. I was shocked and disappointed. Also, there was a push for boys to compete in girl sports. As a mom of two female swimmers, I was vocal about this attack on girl sports. I was asked to run for State Rep by our local Republican organization - after prayers and discussion with my family - I said Yes. As State Representative, I will be the voice of common sense and reason that is missing in Springfield. Extreme politicians and Springfield insiders are failing us and our children. Enough is Enough. |
