I am 59 years old, divorced, and have lived in Taylor for over 40 years of my life. I moved out of Taylor and into Westland in 1994, and then moved to Canton Township in 1999 until 2011. I moved back to my "Taylor Roots" in 2011. I am a proud Army Mom and Grandmother of 3. I attended St. Alfred's for elementary school, and graduated from Taylor Center High School in 1984.
I graduated from Taylor Center HS with honors. I attended some college. I most recently completed an Excel Spreadsheet class at WCCC. I have worked as a Poll Inspector for every local, state, and federal since January 2023 (for a Special Election Primary) , in the cities of Westland and Detroit. I was a Poll Challenger in Canton in November 2024. I have been involved in Election Integrity work (volunteer) for 2 years. I am passionate about having fair and transparent elections here in Michigan.
In high school I was elected to Student Council and also elected captain of the Varsity Pom Pon team. I would later come back to my High School and coach the J.V. Pom Pon team. Raising my young son, as a single mother, I was in volved in the city of Westland Cub Scouts for 3 years. I was Pack 867 Den Leader, Cubmaster, and eventually Pack Committee Chair. During those years I also coached youth softball (with our team going to the championship), and was an assistant coach for the Canton Township Mariners youth baseball team (one season).
I was never much of a follower of politics. Before 2017, I only voted in Presidential Elections. I am a former Democrat. I changed from being a Democrat to being Republican in 2017. My change in parties is a result of what I saw as our great USA was going in decline and our children were being targeted for imaginable reasons. What i saw, from my continued research, was the destruction of our great USA happening very rapidly starting in January 2023. I have been a Republican Precinct Delegate for Precinct 5 in Taylor since January 2023. Since that time, I have volunteered for numerous Republican/Traditional Political Candidates, I have knocked hundreds of doors, and hand delivered over 1,000 flyers, and have made phone calls, and much more. I am determined to keep a more traditional (and less WOKE) agenda moving forward in this great USA.
End indoctrination and gender confusion in our schools.
There are 2 sexes, male and female, and no men in women's sports or bathrooms.
Keep Taylor property taxes at bare minimum. When property taxes are low, homeowners AND renters enjoy the savings. Taylor's budget must be examined in order to cut down on any waste. Example : Leadership training, at a cost of 1,700.00 can be cut.
Restore public safety. People should be able to go for a morning or evening walk without fear. Students should be able to attend class in the ABSOLUTE safest environment. Also, bullying will be closely monitored and addressed. 100% bully-free will be our schools' policy and rule.
Taylor Public Library needs updating. Add additional computers and printers. End the 14-digit I.D. passcode and 4-digit pin number requirement to use a computer! Kids need to access our library resources stress-free.
Transparency : everyone says it, but I actually mean it. As a Council member, you can ask me anything and I will keep digging until I find you an answer.
