Why are you running for the House seat?
- I decided to take our founding fathers seriously. They envisioned older legislators to represent the people; with life and job experiences, not “career politicians”.
- No one owns me, funds me, or tells me what to do. I am running a grassroots campaign as a people’s advocate. I am a representative who can focus on bringing more “people’s issues” to the legislature and initiating legislation beneficial to members of all political parties.
- In addition to being a fiscal conservative, I’m also interested in good roads, health care, and preserving a good pension plan for state employees, police, firemen and educators.
- I am not in favor of the Common Core Standards and the supplemental materials, computers, new fuzzy math and data mining our children that come with it. I will work tirelessly to remove it and let the local school boards pick their own standards (from an array of really good standards) and way of teaching that will benefit the children in their district.
- I am running as a “Watchdog” for the people of my district and Florida.
What is the difference between you and your opponent?
- I bring entrepreneur skills to the job. I’m an innovator that thinks outside the box and looks at every angle. I started two pro-life, non-profit organizations, and a travel agency which I ran for 23 years. I was involved in every facet of the agency; from taking care of my employees and my clients to making it all work.
- My opponent is an accountant/CPA so we look at things differently.
Who are you?
- I have lived in St. Johns County for 35 years. I’ve raised 2 children here, have 3 grandchildren in the school system, and 2 more coming up.
- When I was in my early 20’s I went to Vietnam for a year with the Red Cross to support our troops and learn the truth about the war.
- For a short time, I was a classroom teacher and a senior care giver. I have travelled in 80 countries and brought back a lot of ideas that might work in our country as well.
- Recently, since the sale of my business, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work.
- I attend Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Ponte Vedra Beach.
What would you like to do in the legislature?
- I’d like to help remove bureaucratic, regulatory obstacles for small businesses so they can flourish again.
- Remove the “Common Core package” from our school system and let local school boards decide what is best for the children in their district.
- Introduce new alternative holistic practices in our hospitals and veterans clinics such as acupuncture and healing touch energy work which has greatly benefitted pre-op and post-op surgery patients, people with mental problems, and people taking chemo-therapy. These procedures are licensed and practiced in other states.
- Introduce a bill to get rid of the fluoride in our water. Current studies from England now show that fluoride is a neurotoxin that affects our thyroids and causes hypothyroidism. Any benefit to our teeth by applying fluoride is offset by the chemical’s effect on obesity, lower IQ, depression and fatigue. 95-percent of Europe has banned fluoride, as has Maui Hawaii.
- Introduce a bill to help allow terminally ill patients to try new therapies and medicine not yet approved by the FDA. This bill has been passed under the title of “Right to Try” in several other states.
- Work to help overhaul how non-violent offenders are classified within the Florida prison system. Introduce better vocational programs to help reduce the rate of recidivism; after these offenders are released.
- Encourage more solar energy so that individuals can sell it to their neighbors or back to energy companies.
