May 15

I pledge to work with all area chambers of commerce to find ways to help our aspiring entrepreneurs here in Crittenden County. This could be training, down-payment assistance to purchase a building, tax relief, repair money, or just simple advice.

Big businesses often push out local mom-and-pop shops because they can afford to buy in bulk and offer products or cheaper. I wish to help find ways to incentivize small, local businesses to grow. We must support our neighbors.

Education

As a former teacher and school improvement specialist, education is a top concern. I oppose the Voucher Program under the Learns Act because it unfairly takes money directly away from our local public schools without addressing root issues with our education system and it fails to hold those participating private schools accountable with our public tax dollars.

Quality of Life

I pledge to work alongside you and use what resources will be available to me as state representative to help local officials add amenities to our area.

Health

It’s a fact that unhealthy living can be a financial strain on an individual and on the community as a whole. It will take an empathetic leader like myself to help fix these problems.

Housing

Low-income and middle-class citizens in almost all parts of District 35 are experiencing a housing crisis.

Service

I believe we were put on this Earth to help others.

You

I promise to be a true representative of all people in District 35.
