Biographical Info:

Although I am not a native, I have called Arizona my home for over 30 years. I am a pro-life constitutional conservative, a happily married rancher’s wife, bonus mom and Nana, a cowgirl, and a registered nurse. I answered the call to public service in 2022 because I knew we needed change at the state level and we needed elected officials with backbone to safeguard and, in many cases, restore our liberties. My degrees include a B.S. in Molecular Biosciences & Biotechnology cum laude from Arizona State University and a B.S. in Nursing magna cum laude from Grand Canyon University (where I graduated second in my class!). I have kept my promises and will continue to fight for what is right!

Statement:

My top issues include Border Security, Medical Freedom, Agriculture Industry support, Water, Parental Authority via School Choice, Election Integrity, and ensuring the protection of our God given Constitutional Rights. We The People need to get the political establishment out of our everyday lives and increase OUR voices at the State and Federal levels of government! We need more America First voices and fresh ideas in our Arizona State Senate and I have been successful in just my first term. I can’t wait to get back and keep making progress on these and other critical issues.
