Why I'm Running

I was born and raised in Belvidere, so for me, making life better for people who live here is personal. As a mother of four and a small business owner, I know firsthand how difficult the last few years have been for families struggling to make ends meet and businesses fighting to keep their doors open. Already facing the highest tax burden in the nation and what feels like a constantly increasing cost of living, Illinoisans are being pushed to the brink by bad economic policies that make it hard to build a life here.

Everybody has seen the headlines in the news about crime on the rise as Springfield politicians push dangerous "catch and release" policies that make it harder and more dangerous for our law enforcement officers to do their jobs.

We deserve better!

My commitment to our community is unwavering. I built my small business from the ground up, so I know the value of hard work. I’ll bring that same passion and energy to Springfield as the advocate our area needs in the Illinois Senate.

I'm dedicated to easing the burden of inflation on struggling families. I'll fight for policies that hold criminals accountable and support our law enforcement officers, ensuring they can do their jobs safely and effectively. I'll prioritize giving parents a voice in their children's education and work tirelessly to secure a promising future for our kids.

Together, we can build a better, stronger Illinois.
