I am an accomplished Businesswoman, Wife, Mother, and grandmother with a son going into boot camp in the United States Marine Core. I am a citizen candidate looking to represent the people who have been ignored for far too long. People used to come to California to live the California Dream, NOW People are leaving that dream behind due to the high cost of living and doing business, Rising crime rates, a rising homeless crisis, Government overreach, and career politicians playing musical chairs without results for the people. It's time to bring checks and balances back to California. The current legislators are failing.

• Reign in Government spending and lower taxes- Its time for the state to tighten its belt and return the surplus funds to the taxpayers in the form of reduced taxes. We need to end the failed gas tax.
• Address the homeless and metal health crisis. The increasing numbers of homeless and those with mental health needs have reached the level of a humanitarian crisis and has put families at risk of crime. We need bold ideas without top heavy government spending.
• Protecting our neighborhoods. Criminals have become emboldened with lax state laws with nearly no penalties. We need equal justice under the law, and to stop the revolving door of crime in our neighborhoods.

When it comes to the American Dream, California was once the best state in the nation to receive an education, find a great paying job, start a family, establish a business, and buy a home in a safe neighborhood.
Look around today and see how things have deteriorated in this once golden state. Homelessness is at an all-time high. Crime is increasing. Education ranks near the bottom nationally. The cost of living has become too expensive, forcing hardworking families to leave the state. California is headed in the wrong direction and our state elected officials have failed us.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s why I am running to represent our community at the State Assembly.
I have a five-point plan to make California golden again. It starts with reestablishing as top priorities crime prevention and reigning in government spending and addressing homelessness, government overreach, and parental rights.

Taxpayers are overburdened, and state officials need to stop wasting tax dollars.
Genuine compassion involves lowering the cost of housing and providing mental health and addiction services to those who cannot take care of themselves.
End the elitist attitude of elected officials, who think laws are for us not them.
Children belong to parents and not the state. We must work together to establish a Parents’ Bill of Rights.
It’s time for a change, and I respectfully ask for your vote and sup

To listen to the people they represent. To follow the Constitution.

To put their constituents first. To listen to what their constituents want. To make things better for the people so they may have the freedom to enjoy their lives, and care for their families. We need to stop burdening the people, and let the people thrive!

My first job was at the age of 14 at the Salt Creek snack bar in Dana Point. This was back when Orange County had beautiful open spaces. There was no better office than being on the beach! I worked there for a summer while we were on summer recess from school. I made lifelong friends at that job and will always miss the fried burrito!

The ideal relationship between the Governor and the legislature is to work to do what is best for the interest of the people, not the party or corporate donors. We need to honor our oath to the constitution and listen to those that put us in office.

We need to address the water shortage! We have the technology to do desalinization and water reclamation. The United States build the largest desalinization plant in the World in Saudi Arabia, yet we cannot do it for ourselves? This is an epic failure of the current California Government. It's time for a change.

NO, I think one of our largest problems is that we have career politicians playing musical chairs, and nothing changes. Our first President was a farmer. Our Country was designed to be for the people by the people and the current Government has forgotten this. The State will be better served by business people, not those that have sold out to lobbyists and foreign interests. Victor Hugo once said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Lets change that!

Yes. With genuine collaboration, Legislators can work in the best interest of the people.

I think the people should have a say and it should be made easier for them to voice their opinions. The last redistricting was not heavily advertised and ultimately it should be brought to a vote by the people. The districts belong to them.

Standing committees- Judiciary, Public Safety, Utilities and Energy, Elections, Accountability, and Administrative Review, Housing and Community Development, Water, Parks, and Wildlife, Veterans affairs

Not at this time.

Yes, A man in Thousand Oaks told me his story. A neighbor jumped a couple of fences broke into a home and shot it up trapping a mother and her teenage daughter upstairs. He was arrested and released 3 days later. He has been awaiting trial for over a year. Due to the California FAILED legislation this neighborhood now lives in fear. It's time to put the victim above the criminal.

Man is not made for the State but the State for man and it derives its just powers only from the consent of the governed. Thomas Jefferson. Our current legislation has forgotten who is in charge. It is the people who are in charge of the country, not the Government. We are there to represent Not to rule over.

In my professional life, I have decades of experience in negotiation and that is key to a successful outcome for all. My goal will be to follow the constitution and protect the rights and safety of our citizens. I am going to represent the constituent's interests, not my own. The current legislation has failed and our founders created a system with checks and balances. The one-party rule is not working.
