KEY ISSUES
1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office.

I am a RN with an extensive previous career history in finance. I am also a Foster mom who adopted my two boys from foster care. I took a strong stand against the vaccine mandates and was arrested by the govenor for “uttering amen”! This catapulted me into the front line of a grassroots conservative liberty movement here in NH.

The last 3 years it had become apparent that we must get involved to effectuate change. I ran for this position on 2022 with out a serious campaign and received 30% of the vote 8k voters. Since then it has become even more apparent the crucial impact this position has here in NH. The incumbent just announced retirement and I do believe Esther 4:14 that I was born for such a time as this.

Executive Council approves of all the court judge nominees and oversee DHHS along with approving all the state spending. The roll of the Executive Council is to be the “Watchdog for the people at the statehouse.” I am that mama bear!

2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how?

Bringing integrity to our state spending and reeling in the special interest projects and wasteful out of state contracts. In addition, all the appointed positions are approved by the Executive Council, thus our court systems integrity hinges on who is elected into this position. It is critical that this positio be filled by strong ethical individual.

3. Do you support defunding the police?

No! I am a proponent of increased funding as security is one of the fundamental roles of government.

4. What are your thoughts on “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”? Should this be implemented as training for county/city/federal employees? Why or why not?

Training on professionalism, integrity and character would be my preference. We must stop creating more division.

5. With growing pressure to accommodate various lifestyles/identities how would you manage to keep your city/town safe and family friendly?

As a constitutional republic we are given the freedom to choose as long as we are not infringing on others unalienable rights. When lifestyles are forced in a hostile fashion onto others to accept that is an infringement to their freedom.

6. Do you think involving residents in decision making in your city/town is important? Why or not?

Absolutely. You can not represent the people if you are not seeking out their input, thoughts and experiences.

7. If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city/town/county any way you wanted, what would you do with it and why?

I would use it to privatize the Sununu Center property abc create a faith based safe haven for families in crisis. Providing a healthy alternative to DCYF Intervention when possible.

8. What is your opinion on sanctuary cities/autonomous zones within your city/town?

We must take of our own citizens and families needs first. I oppose sanctuary cities.

9. What are your thoughts on mandating the closure of privately owned businesses due to public health concerns aside from code violations?

I took a very strong stand against the mandates and shut downs as a Registered Nurse during the pandemic.

10. Who is the ultimate authority over the health and safety of the people in your city/town?

God, yet we are to be his hands and feet. He places leaders into position to guide communities to freedom over bondage. In the end each individual must choose who they will follow and take responsibility for their choices.

11. Are you endorsed by other organizations? If so, which ones?

Just announced yesterday, but yes. I have been endorsed by the Trump CoChair of NH Lou Gargiulo and previous Deputy Director of the campaign Dylan Quanttrucci, We the People NH, Health Freedom NH, and many others anticipated.

12. Do you support making laws to protect life keeping in mind there are many views on what this means?Yes
