My leadership style and skills have been forged through my real life experiences as a wife, mother, and grandmother.  I know how real people are affected when elected officials lose sight of real world challenges.  I believe common sense should prevail over partisan rhetoric, and that no one’s ideas should be excluded from the policy-making process.

My candidacy will focus on issues important to the citizens of Delaware County and the State of Ohio, not the least of which is how to assure access to affordable quality health care for all.  Once elected I will be the only registered nurse in the Ohio House of Representatives at a time when expertise such as mine will be essential to the development of creative, effective solutions to the growing health care problem.

Regardless of your party affiliation, I will provide the responsive, responsible representation needed to find the means to revitalize Ohio’s economy, effectively educate our children, and support hard working families at a time when everything is played out on a world stage.
