Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I worked to overturn the emergency ordinance act restoring right to bear arms in our county. I work hard to protect people from poorly written legislation and local municipal codes which would infringe on their personal property rights and freedoms. I testify in Olympia regarding parental rights and pushing back against common core and underage abortion laws. I defend businesses rights in City Councils, County Hearings and the State Legislature hearings.

Additional comment from candidate:
I cared for (had court custody of) my mentally ill sister for 28 years 350 days before her death last year which was a result of breast cancer. I currently house and care for my elderly parents. Mother has Alzheimer's and diabetes, Father has Parkinson's Disease. My husband is so helpful and supportive.
