Biographical Info:

Although I am not a native, I have called Arizona my home for over 30 years. I am a pro-life constitutional conservative, a happily married rancher’s wife, bonus mom and Nana, a cowgirl, and a registered nurse. I answered the call to public service in 2022 because I knew we needed change at the state level and we needed elected officials with backbone to safeguard and, in many cases, restore our liberties. My degrees include a B.S. in Molecular Biosciences & Biotechnology cum laude from Arizona State University and a B.S. in Nursing magna cum laude from Grand Canyon University (where I graduated second in my class!).

Statement:

Election Integrity, Medical Freedom, Border Security, Agriculture Industry support, Water, Parental Authority via School Choice, and ensuring the protection of our God given Constitutional Rights are at the top of my list of current issues. I’m working every day with Representative Steve Montenegro to protect our kids, our families, and our liberties. We have an open seat and need you to Write-In James Taylor on your ballot for the second House seat. Be sure to vote for Montenegro AND write-in James Taylor so we can keep that second seat in conservative hands. Thank you!
