For nearly 50 years, I’ve called Bullhead City home. Growing up along the Colorado River, I watched our community grow from a small river town into the thriving region it is today. When my family first moved here in 1977, trips to Kingman for a meal at McDonald’s felt like a special occasion.
Since then, I’ve welcomed new families and businesses and grown deep roots in a community that has given me so much. I’ve spent decades giving back to those that helped shape me, and I believe the best way to honor them is through continued service to the people of this district.
My commitment to service began at home. Growing up, I watched my father help build River Cruizers and dedicate himself to the people around him. Through his example, I learned early on that hard work, integrity and faith in God are more than values – they’re a way of life.
Those lessons stayed with me when I began my career in finance at 17 years old, eventually opening Bullhead City’s first in-store bank branch. In 2004, I founded Bullhead City Insurance Center, which continues to serve families and businesses across the region.
Alongside my husband, Glen, I have dedicated years to building businesses, supporting local housing development and creating opportunities for others. Together, we have raised two daughters and built a family rooted in our traditional values.
My dedication to our community extends beyond business through volunteer work with organizations including Rotary, Mohave County 4-H and Girl Scouts, as well as 10 years of service on the Fort Mojave Mesa Fire District board, where I gained firsthand experience in working alongside emergency services.
My husband and I also co-founded the Academy of Building Industries in Fort Mohave because we believe every student deserves a path to success. Whether that path leads to college, the trades or directly into the workforce, young people should have the opportunity to choose and build meaningful careers close to home.
I’m running for the Arizona House because I believe Legislative District 30 deserves a strong voice at the Capitol – someone who understands our challenges firsthand and will fight to ensure our communities receive their fair share.
Having lived along the Colorado River for nearly 50 years, I understand what is at stake as new water agreements are negotiated. The future of our families, businesses and local economy depends on protecting the resources that sustain us.
One issue that continues to weigh heavily on me is the experience of families navigating Arizona’s child welfare and family court systems. After hearing their stories and witnessing the challenges they face, I believe we must prioritize accountability and transparency for the well-being of our children.
I am also determined to strengthen our economy by supporting small businesses, reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens and creating a more affordable environment for working families.
Many have heard me say it: I’m the longest name on the ballot, and have the deepest roots in LD30.
That’s because I chose to run for office out of love for this community, and the strong belief it deserves a representative whose priorities are shaped by the people, not politics. Whether it’s protecting our water resources, supporting our children and families or advocating for our small businesses and rural economy, my commitment has always been to this district and upholding our America-first values.
A strong nation starts at home, send me to go fight for ours.
