I came here to Las Vegas when I was about 4 years old. My schooling took place all within this district at J.T. McWilliams, R.O. Gibson and Western High School. I graduated a semester early so that I could enlist in the Army. I am a disabled veteran and as such I qualified for the GI Bill which I used to obtain a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2014.\nI met my husband in the summer of 2015 and we were married the following spring.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? I believe that the preservation of our Constitutional rights is of utmost importance. We need to return law-making to the standards set forth by our Founding Fathers. We jeopardize the future of this country by doing things in any other way. We need to see less of the politicians in congress and more of \"we the people.\" When an elected public servant cares more about any thing or person more than the needs of the district or state they represent it is time to replace them. I will strive every day of my life to bring proper representation to our people. This election is not about politics, it's about choosing right over wrong. If we fail in our God-given responsibility to fight for our freedoms then we cannot expect His divine help when we have lost them all. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Taking into consideration the events that have shaped our country in these last two decades, and especially this year, it is expedient that we proceed cautiously in matters of who we allow through our borders and what countries and world organizations we give aid to. And to become less dependent on others for our national provisions. That should be our priority right now. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? Abraham Lincoln. We are all familiar with the great things he did and I think it's wonderful. But more than that I admire the \"why\" behind his choices. That is what made him who he was, capable of facing great opposition, and ultimately a martyr. His love of truth and will for righteousness. Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? From Federalist 57: \"I will add as a fifth circumstance in the situation of the House of Representatives, restraining them from oppressive measures, that they can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as on the great mass of society...\" \"If this spirit shall ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory on the Legislature as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate anything but liberty.\" What legacy would you like to leave? I would like to be remembered as someone who, more than any title, was a true friend of the people. A person whose only interest was that of righteous government and the welfare of others. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? The first one I can remember was 9-11. I was 16 years old. I was sitting in an early seminary church class before school. I remember feeling for the families of those that died. I was a Junior in high school and I can't remember much about that school year, but I remember all the news footage I would watch night after night and when our troops went off to war. That's when I decided to join the Army. If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be? Agnes Wickfield from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield. There is so much to this character to begin to describe. But what stands out to me most about her is the quiet strength, loyalty, and intelligence she possesses even though her life had been anything but ideal. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? It depends on who is benefiting from said experience, the politician or the people. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Our eyes have been opened to the true intentions of those who would dismantle the Constitution and its amendments. Our greatest challenge is to learn and teach the history that brought us to this point so that we don't repeat it. The preservation of the truths in this document is vital in protecting our God-given rights. If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of? 1- Veteran affairs, either under the Health, or the Oversight and Investigations subcommittees 2-Education and Labor- Higher education and workforce investment or Early childhood, elementary and secondary education 3- Homeland security 4- Ethics\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
