Answers to the Questions

Where do I see my top priorites?

Education – must be funded and we must listen to the educators. We need to teach kids to think not just take tests.
Healthcare – morally bound to vote for providing healthcare to our citizens. I would move we improve doctor’s nutrition and prevention knowledge and make sure insurance even pays for alternative medicines.
Environment – must move toward sustainability in all areas. Encourage college and private research. More recycling.
Alternative Agriculture –We need to end hunger, open doors to more farmers, encourage our youth to learn more about feeding ourselves, end food deserts and eliminate taxes on food – too regressive.

Why should voters elect me?

I volunteer as farmer’s market manager that has given 20+ vendors outlets; one market now donates to the Jenks schools. I accomplish tasks and believe in doing things ethically and for the most good. I have a business degree from Oklahoma Wesleyan can multitask and volunteer in areas that help others. My experience in transportation, education, energy, healthcare administration and agriculture will serve Oklahomans well. I want government to be for, by and of the people and I will return Oklahoma to values that allow farmers to set out produce and change and not find the change and produce gone.

What would you do to improve Oklahoma's economic growth?

I would like to see Oklahoma move into manufacturing alternative energy systems, open incubator programs that help innovation in sustainability and self reliance. Would help small mom/pop businesses not only open but maintain any business that contributes to improvements in education, the environment, healthcare and agricultural issues. We need to rebuild our economy from the bottom up, not depend on trickle down economics.
