A Proven Record of Accountability

When you manage voter registration, there is no room for error, bias, or hidden agendas. As Co-Director of Voter Registration for LaPorte County, I have built a career on transparency, accuracy, and fairness. Now, I want to bring that exact same standard of accountability to the Commissioner's office.

Why I’m Running:

  • Service Over Power: I believe county government should serve the people, not the other way around.
  • Responsible Growth: We must protect our community from rash decisions and the unchecked greed of big business. Every economic choice must be evaluated for its long-term impact on our residents.
  • A Future for Our Families: As a mom, I know that the decisions we make today will determine the county our children inherit tomorrow.

We deserve a government we can trust, and leaders who will listen. I would be honored to earn your vote for LaPorte County Commissioner.

Accountability first.
