Proud to be an
Oklahoman & American
Conservative Christian Values that Make a Difference
01
Pro-Life & Pro-Parent
As I have my entire career, I will stand unapologetically for the sanctity of life from conception, rooted in Biblical truth that every human is made in God's image. I am mother who experienced an ectopic pregnancy where my baby implanted outside of my uterus and I would have died. I understand first-hand having my life in danger due to a pregnancy and having to have surgery-intervention in self-defense. Intervention for an ectopic pregnancy or the need to remove remains due to an incomplete miscarriage is not the same as an elective abortion and abortion providers partnering with abusers and targeting our vulnerable communities. I fully back our state’s strong pro-life laws that include protections for the physical life of the mother, including the fight to defund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood while supporting mothers, families and incentivizing adoption. No amount of pressure from my opponents will weaken my commitment to protect the unborn.
I have been on the front lines of pro-life advocacy and legislation in Oklahoma for almost 10 years and don't plan on stopping now.

Supporting Economic Development and Small– to
Mid–size Businesses Initiatives
I have been a small business owner and entrepreneur for twelve years. Businesses are meant to solve the problems of our society in exchange for currency in a competitive marketplace. Our economy is built on the backs of solo entrepreneurs, tradesmen, and small businesses providing for their family and solving these problems. In addition, mid-size businesses create opportunities for employment that allow families to have economic stability without being out-of-touch with their local community.
Hard-working Oklahomans deserve to keep more of their earnings and their time, not see them taken away by new taxes or burdensome regulations that require massive amounts of administration. I will push for further cuts in our state’s income tax, balanced budgets through spending restraint, and slashing red tape that kills jobs and hurts industries like our energy sector.
Conservative leadership means growing the economy by only using the government to retain the value of our industries, not by controlling and milking them dry with burdensome regulations.
03
Public Assistance Reform: Prevent Enablement, Drug Test Recipients, Require Employment, and Incentivize Two-Parent Households
I am a first-generation investor and business owner in my family's history. With the help of Jesus and my community support system, I broke out of Oklahoma poverty to build a better life for my future children. I know what it is like to be on both sides- the burden of poverty and the struggles of middle-class America. Our taxpayer–funded welfare programs are meant to be a temporary hand-up during transitions or crisis, not an abusive life-long income. I have spent my entire adult life devoted to helping others break poverty mindsets on the individual and institutional level just as I had to.
We must raise a standard, a true goal for these families and respect them enough to believe they truly can do it. Welfare as it is now does not empower families like mine to escape poverty – it motivates them to stay on it. It also incentivizes parents to remain single (at least on paper) to keep their benefits high, taking motivation away from rebuilding their family to a two–parent and two-income household, which is statistically proven to improve outcomes for children in poverty.
I will fight for applicants of tax-funded assistance to be drug-tested, show proof of full-time work or full-time job training, and show proof of financial; and time management through a weekly budget/cash-flow form. As someone who escaped the cycle-of-poverty after an entire childhood and adolescence on WIC, SNAP, Section-8, and Soonercare, I have seen the negative (and some positive) impact of the Department of Health & Human Services and HUD. I will fight co-dependency on government programs that trap families in poverty for generations and waste taxpayer dollars. True compassion in Oklahoma means promoting employment, eliminating barriers to escaping poverty in policy, increasing employable skills, increasing accountability and producing opportunities for self-sufficiency so these families can move from taking from their communities to instead giving back.
U.S. citizens and their families are our first mandated responsibility as a U.S. and State government entity funded by Oklahoma tax dollars. I will not support welfare or “sanctuary cities” for illegal immigrants in Oklahoma — no taxpayer–funded assistance or sanctuary policies. I support ending taxpayer funded benefits for illegal immigrants to help stop the flow of drugs, crime and social welfare burden that prevents us from taking care of the people God has already given us to oversee.
As State Senator, these resources aren't mine – they're my constituents' hard–earned dollars. Their tax dollars deserve to only be used by hardworking, contributing Oklahomans and legal immigrants, not those here illegally from any nation.

Access to Appropriate,
Quality Education
Education is what will make or break our ability to be a competitive market for companies to want to plant their businesses in Oklahoma and establish a capable workforce. Many companies will choose to move another state only because of how quality the school system is.
I am uniquely qualified to speak into the education problem of our state. As a Midwest City High School graduate of the Mid-Del public school system, I also attended seven public schools in three school systems (OKCPS, Putnam City Schools, and Mid-Del Schools), almost all Title-1. I attended one year at an OKCPS charter middle school and one year as an under-resourced homeschooler. My husband and his family were well-adjusted middle-class homeschool graduates.
I want to have the best education in quality and options in the country. In order to do that, families must be able to pick the best education option for their children's needs without the government deciding for them. Our family embodies this as we have three children that go to private Christian school and one that will attend the new Choctaw-Nicoma Park Public School, Heartland Elementary in special-education.
I am highly invested and an advocate of quality education for children in Oklahoma. Innovative approaches must be considered, and we must be bold in order to solve the problem of education. We can't do the same funding wars over and over again and expect different results. I will push for money to reach the classroom to help teachers, not be ate up by bureaucracy.
Education of our children matters and we have to stop the rivalry between the providers. I support all educational providers that are academically growing our children and keeping them safe with consent from parents for their formation.
Parents have the God–given authority over their children's upbringing and education — not teachers unions, bureaucrats or woke school boards pushing radical agendas. Every Oklahoma family deserves to have their children educated in an environment that supports wholesome values and patriotism. I will strongly oppose critical race theory, gender fluid ideology or anti-American nonsense.

Supporting Our Air Base and Veterans, Law Enforcement, Fire and First-Responders
As a granddaughter of a 20-Year Air Force Veteran out of Tinker AFB and MWC Water Company Treatment Technician, I thank you for all that you do. Our service men and women, law enforcement and public service providers have enough to deal with without adding more to their plate. They need our support.
Our brave police officers, sheriffs and firefighters risk their lives daily to keep Oklahoma safe. As State Senator, I will back them with full-funding, legal protections and zero tolerance for defund-the-police radicals. I will support tough penalties for criminals, ending catch-and-release, and supporting law enforcement are non-negotiable for safe streets and neighborhoods. In Oklahoma, we honor those who serve and protect.
Supporting military members as they re-integrate back into society and supporting their family's stability while in service is integral. As with other senators from this district, partnerships with Tinker Air Force Base as well as veteran mental health and homelessness will continue to be a priority of policy and advocacy.
I support Tinker AFB's Leadership, military service men and women, veterans, EOC's Police and state Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Fire and first-responders as well as federally recognized law-enforcement such as the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

Supporting our 2nd Amendment Rights to Responsibly Defend our Families, Properties and Public Spaces
How can you be pro-life, pro-education, but also pro-gun?
As someone with a strong background in history, it is amazing to speak with so many who do not understand the importance of a citizen's right to arm themselves as well as the beneficial use of modern technology for protecting people, things and spaces that we value.
Citizens have a right to use force to defend their families, properties, and communities from criminal predators
As a proud NRA member and gun owner myself, I will defend every Oklahoman’s God-given right to keep and bear arms as essential for self-defense, hunting and protecting liberty. I oppose any federal gun grabs or red flag laws, and stand with law-abiding citizens against schemes to disarm us. Firearms are part of our inheritance, and I will not compromise on the Second Amendment.
