1. Stop The Increase In Property Taxes Each year we do the dance of the BOCC hiding behind the appraiser’s office requirement by our state’s constitution. We must elect people who understand the burden of ever-increasing property taxes through reappraisal. READ MORE
2. Transparency & Truth: The Chairman of the BOCC has dictated and was joined by the majority of my colleagues to suppress and censor the broadcast of public comments. This is untenable, the voice of the people must be reinstated. READ MORE
3. Public Safety & Sheriff Support: Job one for Johnson County Government is your safety. I support the Sheriff’s office and went to the mat to increase pay for our deputies on the front lines. READ MORE
1. Former general contractor and developer. I know the inside scoop, these incentives DO NOT WORK as proven by 2 Kansas Legislative Post Audit reports, one which was released earlier this year.
2. Small business owner: My son and I own a small manufacturing company in Olathe, I have first-hand experience in the devastation that the COVID shutdown wreaked upon small businesses. Only by the Grace of God did we manage to make it through protecting our investment and our employees’ livelihood.
3. Served in the Kansas House of Representatives: 27th District from 2011-2012
4. Mother: I have 5 children; my youngest daughter came to my home when she was 10. Homelessness, I have seen. I know the value of a strong family; I also know the ups and downs in family relationships and the constant challenges.
5. Grandmother: I have 7 grandchildren, they are the future, but we are destroying the opportunities that were available to my generation with the ever-rising costs of government.
“My faith is the cornerstone of my life. I carry my Rosary on the Dias at every BOCC meeting declaring to the world that I truly understand the truth of one nation under God. Strong families and strong faith communities are the building blocks for a strong and safe Johnson County.”
And so, when re-elected, I will continue to bring a common-sense voice that is far different from the current majority on the BOCC. The BOCC majority loves diversity as long as you agree with them. Therefore, let’s remove the ridiculousness and destructive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (which I call Division, Exclusion and Inequality) madness from the public square and replace it with true equality, equal opportunity for all.
I am honored to be running for re-election as Johnson County District 3 Commissioner, and I am committed to continuing to serve our entire community with integrity, dedication, passion and faith. I have consistently advocated for the interests of “We The People.”
Thank you for the honor you have given me to serve and I look forward to visiting with you during my re-election campaign!
