I am also passionate about rebuilding our economy by Investing in small businesses, protecting the family unit, and ending Human Trafficking. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? There are a lot of people during my life I've grown to love and respect. Many of them are not known to the public. But have been very influential in forming my character and making me become the woman I am today. Biblical characters: When you read their stories and study their lives, they show you a sense of endurance, strength, and commitment. The character needed to work as a representative. Above all, Jesus has been my ultimate example of sacrifice, Love, and Humility. Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? I like to read articles and books on the life of our U.S. Presidents. Learning about many of their humble beginnings and the obstacles they went through can be encouraging. Many of them have fascinating stories that give you a different viewpoint on what made them become who they are. Those who knew God had a praying mom who was very influential in their lives. What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? The characteristics or principles most important for an elected official are those who put the needs of those they are representing above their own. They are someone who is not easily shaken and demonstrate strength. This individual would have integrity and not compromise in their values. They can connect with those they are representing and they are someone who has long and short-term vision for their constituents, the nation, and themselves. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? The qualities I possess that make me successful in this office are that I've always tried to live my life with integrity. I am an individual who is not easily compromised in my values. I am easygoing with others. I am a visionary and I have the humility to know that I can always learn from others. I'm honest and unassuming. I am open to the ideas of others. We all need the input and feedback of others. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? The core responsibilities are presenting the truth with accuracy, representing constituent's needs, communicating clearly, and standing firm in convictions. What legacy would you like to leave? The legacy I would like to leave to my family and my country is that I was a defender of American principles. I upheld the Constitution and lived a life of integrity and vision. I fought for what is right and what will make America prosperous. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? I believe 9/11 was my first historic event. I was in my 20s at the time, and I was living in New York City. I lost friends that day. My life was forever changed. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? My very first job was at a manufacturing company that produced nuts and bolts for airplanes. After classes in high school, I would go and make copies and fax all the orders for the day. What is your favorite book? Why? My favorite book is the Bible. Of course, it's a book that is relevant throughout the ages. It gives you the ability to gain wisdom and it guides your future. It's a book where everyone can learn something. If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be? If I could be a fictional character I would be a Superhero. Superheros exemplify extraordinary power and strength. They are always doing something positive for their community. They are helpers, protecting others and they are wise in how they perform their tasks. I want to be an everyday superhero. What was the last song that got stuck in your head? Praise featuring Brandon Lake, Chris Brown, and Chandler Moore by Elevation Worship. What is something that has been a struggle in your life? Everyone has struggles, and though I'm not perfect! I often strive to be a perfectionist. That can be my downfall. I have to remind myself that yes! Things can be accomplished better don't beat yourself up if you don't do it perfectly. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? The U.S. House of Representatives has a unique ability to make and pass laws that affect the land. Their legislation helps to make America function and operate as a unified body. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? I don't think a representative should have experience only in government or politics; if they did, the mindset of the representatives would be the same for everyone, and they wouldn't have variety. I believe having an array of experiences helps to keep the opportunities and ideas relevant and fresh. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? I believe immigration is one of our challenges. It's a problem that has been ignored by most administrations for years. It continues to be a problem and It is time to resolve this issue. There are so many loopholes in our immigration laws. if these issues are not resolved they can cause great problems for America. Illegal immigration goes along with our mishandled immigration laws. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? Yes! Two years are sufficient term length for each representative. It gives the representatives the time to establish themselves if they are freshmen and prove their abilities. What are your thoughts on term limits? I support term limits. When politicians start to work to promote themselves and not the people or community they are working for, then they need to move on. We witness politicians who get comfortable in the seat they hold and never work for the community. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? There have been some great representatives in America's history. Around 1832, Joseph Rainey was voted in as one of America's first Black House of Representatives. He served under the Republican party and helped break the barrier for African Americans serving in an office capacity. Though he had a lot of adversities to conquer and probably wasn't a perfect person, he helped open the door for an individual like myself to serve her District and Country. Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful? As I go out door knocking, I've gotten the opportunity to hear the heartbeat of the community. Many have expressed their joy at me running. Some have told me they are looking for more fresh ideas for the community. Some have even expressed my boldness to run. Tell us your favorite joke. Oh my! My favorite jokes are from my children and they are Knock Knock jokes. They may be corny or hilarious I will always laugh because they came from my children. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? I look at policymaking as a marriage. For a marriage to work, there has to be a compromise among both parties. The same has to be accomplished by the Democrats and the Republican Party. What the American public usually sees is the opposite. Bills will be passed in the House, but disclosure of what these bills are covering is usually not given to the American people. This won't work. There has to be transparency among both parties. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

They are trusting me to represent them and to work on their behalf. So my priority would be to put the people first and fight for what is needed within the district. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? Since Congress can only investigate matters connected to legislation it should be used wisely and for the benefit of the people of the United States. What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign? Urban Conservatives of America\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
