Policy Positions

I’m a proud graduate of Clarenceville schools located in Livonia as is my husband, and we believed in the quality of our schools enough to send our only son to them. I know how important it is to make sure our public schools get the financial support they need from Lansing. I'm also aware how important choice is for our residents who desire other options.  

Our state government continues to hold public school funding at a low priority and our Governor is doing all she can to make quality charter school options go away.  This is not good for our community and I will continue to fight to make changes in Lansing which support all of our schools. 

In my political career, I've had plenty of opportunities to hear from professionals in the road building industry. I learned about proper substrates and the chemistry that is involved in the proper mixing of cement. Many of the professionals pointed out where we as a state are failing to use best practices in constructing our roads, highways and freeways.

 Something I also learned while spending the last 37 years married to a construction worker is that throwing more money at the problem will only raise the cost per mile. Simply put, too many projects and too few contractors equate to higher costs. 

I will fight to keep our State and local government from wasting your hard earned tax dollars by taking a methodical approach to road construction, making sure that as technology changes our standards change also. I will make sure that those companies dedicated to building our roads are held responsible for the product they lay down. I will also make sure that we have enough inspectors to oversee the process.
