Frequently Asked Questions
What do you think about school choice?
The people in the best position to make decisions about a child’s education and health are their parents. We ought to empower parents with information and choices that work for them and their family.
The schools belong to us. As taxpayers and parents, we are paying the ever-rising budgets and seeing lower standards of excellence. Families should have the option to home school or enroll in charter schools without severe restrictions from the state. Let’s get teachers back to teaching and parents back to parenting.
What are your thoughts on taxes and cost of living in Vermont?
The Green Mountain State is well known for its beautiful landscape and impressive mountains. We have recently become better known more for our mountain of taxes, regulations, and red tape than our ski resorts. Our officials are spending money on things that make us feel good but do little to improve the day to day lives of Vermonters.
Big Government is in the way of the average American being able to thrive. Whether you were told your business, the way you put food on the table was not essential, or you must have some new certification or permission to continue working, bureaucrats are picking the winners and losers and using our taxes (labor) to pay for it.
If we are to create good paying jobs in our state, overcome the high cost of living, and end the housing crisis we must cut taxes and stop imposing rules that stifle commerce and industry.
You will never confiscate enough wealth to cover the cost of Vermont or our Nation’s massive debt.
Just like every family in America, our government needs to tighten its belt and look for ways to cut the ample waste in its budget.

Name a Vermonter past or present who inspires you and tell us why.
Calvin Coolidge was the only American President to not increase the national debt. He was a Statesman and truly respected the Federalist system established by our Constitution. Elected officials ought to appreciate the contribution of our labor to coffers by being good stewards of those resources.
What should we do on the federal level to reduce gun violence?
Through gun violence we see the human cost of broken families, childhood trauma, and addiction. We must promote and cultivate mentorship by adults in the community with kids who needs them. This is why my husband and I volunteer for Catalyst Collective and the PurposePro.org.
Do you support the basing of the F-35 fighter jets at Burlington International Airport? If you don’t, what steps would you take to get them moved?
I am a strong supporter of the Armed Forces. I would consider the effort to move them, if someone can demonstrate; How to fund maintenance and upkeep; How to replace the jobs that will be lost; How to address loss of population when Vermont National Guard families are relocated.
Who will your allies in the House be?
My allies will be any House members who support and protect the Constitution. Even Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a Progressive, is in favor of Term Limits for Federal Officials. Something I will support day one in Congress.
In an increasingly polarized Congress, how would you interact with members of the opposing party?
I try to treat every person with dignity and respect. The same way I want to be treated. I will remember that we are all on the same team – Republicans, Progressives, Libertarians and Democrats. We are all Americans and want the best for ourselves and our communities.
