Here We Come!

Updated: Aug 7




Hello! This is the first post of our campaign in Florida's District 85, St. Lucie/Martin Counties! I am so excted to be running against extreme MAGA Toby Overdorf! Everywhere I go in my district, I hear that people are tired of a state representative that does nothing for Floridians! Housing insurance prices, sky high rental prices, auto insurance prices, all have become too expensive in Florida! Add to that the explosive growth in our cities! More people, more housing developments and more traffic without regard to parks and natural areas being preserved, with pollution running through our waterways from the large corporations, and citizens' voices being unheard at town meetings.


With Toby's lack of care for us, it is no surprise that citizens' must fight to be heard! I will be that voice for the people! No more of Overdorf's selfish greed! He has only served the developers' special interests! This is not smart growth! We want safe, liveable environments with the quality of life for which we grew up here or moved here! We also want civility, respect, acceptance, books in schools, women's rights, trans rights and everyone' rights! Let's end the divisive and hateful name calling that the MAGA extremists create! Instead of exclusion, we want inclusion! As a teacher, I know how to create community and include everyone!


Toby also has been taking contributions from the big, dirty corporations such as Mosaic Company! Our beautiful St. Lucie River has been filled with its discharges for too long! The fragile habitats of manatees, fish and other marine life must not be damaged by harmful algal blooms nor red tide from "nutrients"! We have all witnessed the death! Further, this is our recreational area where we fish and swim! I am for The Florida Right to Clean Water! I am assisting with petitions and spreading the word! Now is the time for Mosaic, Big Sugar and other industries to clean up their toxic chemicals onsite!


State representatives are given the job of serving the contituents! This is why I never accept contributions from large corporations and developers! It sets up a conflict of interest. How can Overdorf serve Floridians while taking money from large corporations? He does not. I will listen to your voices and promote and create desirable communities in which we live. A vote for me is a vote for Florida's bright and healthy future!


My campaign is now ready for volunteers to help get the word out. Please write a message on the Contact Us page to get involved in writing postcards, texting, phone calling, putting signs out, knocking on doors and funding my campaign. We have beautiful signs to put in your yards and businesses. To pay for them, we welcome all contributions to our grassroots effort. Thank you! Let's work to elect myself, along with Kamala Harris for President to improve our government for you!
