Marysville City Council Meeting Minutes
What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Attract jobs and train the workforce. We need to collaboratively work to get all physically able into the workforce. Additionally, fighting the drug epidemic has to be a priority.
How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Economic Development is the strongest way to keep bring jobs and to create a stable revenue source. Government should support economic development and reduce taxes.
What education or experience qualifies you to hold the office for which you seek election?
I am beginning my 9th year serving as a City Councilwoman and I have lived within my district for almost 20 years where I have listened to and have sought to address the concerns of those I represent. I've served in the military, I've served my family and I've served my community. So much of my experience is learning to listen to others, value the input of others and to work hard to get results. That kind of leadership is what I believe we need to have at the Statehouse.
