As a life-long resident of Wichita, I understand the needs facing our community. In fact, I was born and raised right in the heart of the 105thdistrict on Hazelwood Lane and attended and still attend St. Francis of Assisi Catholic church. I work in our community as an account executive with one of the nation’s largest distributor of facility supplies.
I believe I can make a difference for the people of the 105th and the state of Kansas. My background in business and my experience in working with the legislature to pass a law after my son was killed in a hit and run accident, have equipped me well to hit the ground running in Topeka to tackle some of the most important issues facing Kansas today. I come from a very large family – so I understand the pressures put on families and the challenges they face while they pursue their dreams. My faith and my family are the most important things in my life, and they drive my system of beliefs and my priorities.
Kansas doesn’t need career politicians-they need leaders with strong ties to the local community. I work for a company that puts me in touch with local businesses both large and small. My husband and I also own a small business. At the end of day, we need people in Topeka that truly understand the consequences of government on firms and families. I do and that’s why I am running.
If you elect me, I will work as hard for you every day as I did to change the law to honor my son and everyone affected by hit and run drivers. I truly hope that I can count on your support in this crucial election.
