About Me

On March 7th I declared my candidacy for the Georgia Senate from District 50 in North Georgia. I will be on the ballot for the General Election on November 5th.  After a career as a registered nurse, health care advocate, and active supporter of human rights causes, I am moved to give back to my colleagues, friends, and neighbors in return for all that I learned from them. I am anxious to get to work on improving healthcare, education, protecting the environment, and the arts. My priorities also include expanding tourism, guaranteeing equal rights — including women’s reproductive rights, and common sense criminal justice reform.

My background and accomplishments qualify me to accomplish these legislative goals.  I have served as President of the 9th District Democratic Women and I am currently the Chair of the 9th Congressional District for the Democratic Party of Georgia and President of the Georgia Federation of Democratic Women.  My experiences in healthcare, as a small business owner, and as a consultant to many people in community care have allowed me to learn the skills of executive management. Those skills include clear communication, information transfer, team-building, cooperation, and negotiation that underlie the processes of developing and passing legislation.

I ask that you vote for me and support my campaign for the Georgia Senate.  If you are able to contribute to my campaign, visit the donate page or click the donate button.   If you are willing to work on the campaign or want to contact me. I look forward to serving as your Representative!
