I am the Republican State Representative for Boone County's 60th district. I live in Union with my husband of 27 years, Gregg, and our rescue dog Reagan. I am a licensed Speech-Language pathologist, specializing in Neurorehabilitation. I am active in my NKY community. Some of my activities have included leading bible studies, mentoring young women, being an assistant coach for Girls on the Run, a precinct captain in the Boone County Republican Party, neighborhood book clubs, tennis groups, and participating in events with both the Patriot Riders Motorcycle Club and Marine One Riders. My husband and I love to be active and outdoors. We both are distance runners, with Gregg completing 20 marathons, and I have completed over 30 marathons. We love to snow ski, water ski, hike and bike. We live by the motto Character, honesty and integrity and apply it to all aspects of our lives.
- I am a constitutionalist. I am dedicated to preserving the rights established for us in the Constitution. To protect life, liberty and property. I am strongly Pro-life, from conception to natural death. I defend our 2nd amendment and vote against any laws that take away or infringe on peoples' right to keep and bear arms. I also defend the right of property owners to use their land as it is zoned and to protect citizens against eminent domain.
- All legislation that I sponsor, or co-sponsor is brought to me by my constituents. I am not beholden to special interest or lobbyists. We are a constitutional Republic, and it should be the voices of We the People, not we the lobbyists. I am the voice for your values in Frankfort.
- All my decisions on how I vote are determined by both the Constitution limits and guided by my Christian faith.
Repeal of Certificate of Need (CON), which is basically a permission slip from the government to allow a new healthcare entrant into the state. Examples of services restricted by CON are hospitals, ambulances, imaging (MRI's PET, etc.) Ambulatory Surgical Centers, mental health facilities, chemical dependency facilities, just to name a few.
Property rights-to protect landowners property usage and against squatters.
Pro-life- defend the unborn as they have no voice.
Cutting taxes, unnecessary regulations, government overreach and excessive spending.
Rush Limbaugh was a deeply influential person in my life. Although I never met him, after listening to him 15 hours a week for 30 years, he became one of the best friends I never met. He truly made the complex understandable in politics. I hope to do the same as a legislator. To help people understand the workings of government and to understand the bills that we vote on.
The bible. My worldview is derived from biblical principles.
To represent the people of the district from which they are elected.
President Reagan being shot. I had just turned 13 at the time.
Babysitting, from age 12-15.
The Bible. It is the standard of truth. It guides my morality, relationships, and understanding of the world.

I enjoy my committees of Veteran, Military Affairs, and Public Protection, as well as Local Government. I am also interested in Health Services, Election Integrity and Education.

I am a constitutional conservative dedicated to preserving the rights set forth for us in the US Constitution. I am a speech-language pathologist and actively volunteer in my community for many local charities and events. I'm not a politician, but after watching the deterioration of our rights and liberties, I am compelled to run for State Representative as I am committed to protecting the rights of our Commonwealth's citizenry.
- Stop Government Overreach- Working to ensure the rights and principles of the constitution are upheld in the Commonwealth. No more government overreach, including mandates, shut-downs, and tyrannical executive orders
- School Choice- allowing parents school choice (including the tax dollar following the student for public, private, or homeschool options) and control. Authority for local, elected school boards to make decisions based on their community, students, parents and stakeholders and where these officials can be held accountable by those whom they serve.
- Lower Taxes, Less Government- The lockdowns of 2020 helped create a financial crisis, and the tax and spend policies coming from Frankfort is creating an increasingly fragile economy, diminishing our ability to recover. We must have reduced taxes, fees and regulations and not have the creation of any new taxes, including the gas tax.
I am passionate about preserving our constitutional rights and freedoms and stopping tyrannical government overreach. That includes ending mandates and allowing for one to make their own decisions with regard to vaccines.
We must reduce excessive spending in Frankfort, cut waste by auditing spending, and not have the creation of new taxes.
I am passionate about keeping biological males from competing in girls/women's sports. It does untold mental damage to young women and takes aways the ability to fairly compete. This robs girls of their ability to win as well as possible scholarship opportunities.
An elected official must have integrity, honesty, transparency, and a willingness to listen to the concerns of their constituents.
I am a person with integrity, passion, empathy, and work tirelessly. I am a strong leader that will fight to keep our country as representative republic, with free markets limited government, and free and fair elections.
When President Ronald Regan was shot. I had just turned 13 at the time.
I worked at an answering service for 3 years, beginning when I was 15 years old.
The Bible. All scripture is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
A country boy will survive- Hank Williams Jr.
I believe there should be some level of a healthy friction between the three branches to keep a check on the governor, allowing the checks and balances of our government to work as designed.
Economic recovery from the 2020-2021 pandemic and lock-downs will be one of the largest challenges for KY. Many small businesses were severely harmed if they were able to remain viable at all, with all of the lock-downs, regulations, and restrictions that were imposed on them. There was minimal help from the very government that shut them down and put undue regulations on them if they were to keep operating. Soaring inflation, record high gas prices, supply chain shortages and reduced work force participation rates negatively impact our already fragile economy. Unchecked spending, proposal for new taxes, and a large unfunded pension liability will also hinder our economic recovery.
I do not see the benefits of a unicameral state legislature. Such a system decreases representation, does not adequately protect the interests of minority groups, and decreases any debate or close examination/discussion of issues.
No. Experience in leadership, critical reasoning skills and effective communication are more beneficial in my opinion. Although experienced politicians may be more skilled at understanding the intricacies of the inner workings of legislative process, many have become unduly influenced by special interest groups and lobbyist and no longer are responsive to the will of the people that they represent. They begin to make legislation that benefits themselves and their large donors.
Building coalitions most certainly can be beneficial. Having strong and healthy relationships with other legislatures allows one to more adequately hear opposition, to be able to work together constructively.
There are pros and cons to each system. I learn towards independent commissions in that there are clear redistricting criteria, public hearings with input from the voters, and no lobbying behind the scenes. When legislatures get to choose their voters vs voters choosing their legislatures, it leads to a high re-election rate for incumbents and puts challengers at a distinct disadvantage.
I would be interested in Health and Family Services, Education, Elections, Constitutional Amendments or Intergovernmental Affairs.
Ted Cruz, as a constitutionalist, and Lauren Boebert, as a strong woman that is unafraid to push back against the establishment elite and make her voice heard.
Not at this time.
As I'm out listening to people in my district, there are many stories that impact me. Mother's telling me how difficult it was for schools to be streamed via ZOOM and how their children suffered. The uncertainly of how long schools would be open before they shut down. The unending masking and the damage it was doing to their kids. It created unnecessary social isolation, anxiety, mental and emotional health issues, as well as academic decline. Several have removed their kids from public school and were elated to see their children thriving and happy in schools with no masking, consistently having class, and emphasis on academics vs social engineering. As a speech therapist, I am particularly sympathetic for the critical language, cognitive and social skills that have been stunted by 2 years of masking, and especially impacting those with speech/language deficits. Stories like these compel me to run and be the voice for the people.

The governor should be held in check by legislators to prevent tyrannical and unconstitutional executive orders. Especially ones that have no end date and arbitrary rules about when they expire.
With the new progressives/far left wing of the Democrat party, compromise with them usually results in disaster for center right to the most conservative right. There are times when it may be necessary but not if it violates the constitution, morals or conservative principles.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
