About Me
My husband John and I are lifelong residents of Campbell County. We’ve been married for 47 years, raised three children here, and are now proud grandparents to nine. This community isn’t just where we live—it’s home.
I’ve spent my life serving others. After raising our family, I returned to school to become a nurse, graduating from Gillette College. As a nurse, I’ve had the privilege of caring for families across our community—often during their most challenging moments—and seeing firsthand the issues they face.
While raising our children, I also worked at Wright Junior-Senior High School as an At-Risk Coordinator, supporting students who needed a steady hand and guidance.
My husband John and I have spent decades building and operating small businesses in ranching, mining reclamation, and home healthcare. For more than 18 years, I have owned and operated TenderCare, providing in-home care for individuals and families across Northeast Wyoming. That experience has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to meet a payroll, navigate rising costs and regulations, and serve people with dignity.
I believe in pragmatic, conservative solutions that keep Wyoming strong. That’s why I’m running—to serve, to listen, and to represent the people of House District 52.
Where I Stand
I believe in the conservative Wyoming values that have shaped our community and way of life. These principles guide how I approach every decision and every vote.
Protecting Our Second Amendment Rights
I strongly support the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms. These freedoms are part of our Wyoming heritage and must be protected.
Respect for Life
I am pro-life and believe in protecting the most vulnerable. I will support policies that reflect the value of life and strengthen families.
Limited Government & Personal Responsibility
I believe government works best when it is limited, efficient, and focused on its core responsibilities. I will work to reduce unnecessary regulations and protect the freedoms of individuals, families, and businesses.
Defending Property Rights
Property rights are fundamental in Wyoming. I will work to ensure landowners have a strong voice and are protected from overreach.
Service and Experience
A Lifetime of Service
Our family has always lived by a simple belief: leave things better than you found them. It’s a value we’ve passed down to our children and grandchildren—and one that continues to guide my life.
My commitment to service began at age 13 as a Candy Striper at the hospital, and it has continued ever since. While the roles have changed over the years, my heart for serving this community never has.
