WHY I DECIDED TO RUN
This has always been a passion and lifetime dream, since I began my career as a teacher and coach. Even twenty two years ago, when I taught my first k-3 students, coaching gymnastics and wrestling, I would always tell them…... “when you grow up, remember to vote for me when I run for office one day!” Just today, one of my past Kindergarten students, who is a senior, smiled and told her friends she remembered me always saying that in class. They all smiled and said, “that's so cool”. My goal was to wait until my late 50’s to run for office, but once Michael Rogers announced he is not seeking another term, I felt drawn to look further into my dream. This might be the perfect time in my life to step forward and use my experience in the classroom to help Oklahoma become the Great State we all know it is and can be. I want Oklahoma to lead the Nation in every aspect of life. It is time for this Educator to step up and represent Broken Arrow with every ounce of tenacity and achieve this goal. |
