"While spending the last 20 years primarily raising children I've had a continuing interest in politics, as well as a strong track record of grassroots involvement in our schools and community. These experiences have allowed me to work closely with a variety of people throughout District 20. I've learned that our communities are more than a collection of people living together in a common location. We are young, we are old, we are married, we are single, we are diverse.....and yet we share one vision and one expectation: to put the ideas of democracy, "of the people, by the people, for the people," into action in our district. We are fortunate to have a district full of educated, involved, and interested voters. You are among those voters and your voice is important. Rise up. Speak out. Let's join together to build a bright future for Utah's children and families."
