| Collapse all
I am a wife of 28 years to my husband, David. We have 2 adult children, Hunter and Haley. We own a successful, small business. My career background includes critical care nursing, women's ministry and have authored several books.
- I am not a politician. I am called by God to run. God doesn't always call the most qualified but he does qualify those He calls.
- From my years as a critical care nurse, I’m a team worker and great at leading. I stay calm and easily prioritize to make important decisions in high stress environments.
- As a small business owner, leadership, time management, and budgeting are all skills I will bring to the table.
Pro-Life
Protect the children. Education over indoctrination. Bringing Bible and prayer back into schools
Influence legislation to eradicate sex trafficking.
The following questions are what I ask myself, as I select who I will vote for:
• Are they a person of character and truthfulness?
• Do they bear good fruit?
• Are they who they say they are?
• Are they truly looking to represent the people or are they for power and position?
I am a person of character, integrity, and truth and I try to filter everything I do through love. Being motivated by love is a key. If love is at the root of what you are doing it can be felt and change the world around you.
The Lt. Governor is a position, not so much of power but of influence. It's role is to be a bridge builder between the legislative and executive branches. Also, to sit on the Board of Education, Board of Community Colleges, Advisory Board of Charter schools, the Council of State and the NC State Planning Commission, among other committees.
President over Senate, liaison between Legislative and Executive branches, seat on the Board of Education
The ability to build genuine relationships and influence for the good of North Carolinians.
I believe it's completely necessary in order to prevent government overreach.
