Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I feel I am uniquely qualified for public office as a wife, mother and gun store owner. My husband and I have been married for 25 years and I understand how important strong marriages are for our country. We raised two children who, like us, have Tourette Syndrome. I understand the challenges of living with a neurological disorder and navigating the Healthcare and school system to get the best care and accommodations for my kids. Being a business owner in a highly regulated industry I understand the burden government can put on businesses. I feel it’s time to cut some of the red tape so more people are encouraged to start their own business.

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
No. If people would turn off their TV and talk to their neighbors, I think they’d see we are all getting along. Americans, in general are good people and we welcome diversity which is why so many want to come here.
