You have my pledge that efficient and effective county government will be a priority.

My belief is we must expend taxpayer dollars for the delivery of services to our residents, now and in the future, with care and thoughtful consultations.

Our citizens need options to develop the skills necessary to be hired for good-paying jobs in Cerro Gordo County.

I am a strong advocate for expanding job training programs and apprenticeship opportunities.

I will promote efforts to retain good paying jobs and recruit new prospects.

The availability of first-rate healthcare options for our citizens is very important to our area.

My pledge is to secure the healthcare needs of senior citizens and people with disabilities, especially by supporting programs for individuals with mental health and substance use challenges in our county.

A variety of healthcare resources is vital to our communities, especially as people get older.

Access to a quality education is essential to personal success in our community.

I began my higher education at NIACC, which was a launching pad for my working career. I know personally the vital role they play in educating our citizens and providing local businesses with the highly skilled workforce they need to grow.

I recommend and support community college educational opportunities.

In addition to improving our human infrastructure through better health and improved educational opportunities, we must also have plans prioritizing care of county roads and bridges.

​

Maintaining our infrastructure is important now and for our future, supporting our current residents and attracting new employers and workforce.

Supporting those who have served will always be my priority.

Throughout my life I have known many of our local heroes who served their country.

From my uncle who died in World War II to my husband who had a military career, I have always believed we should strongly support those who pledged their lives for our freedoms.

During my time in the Iowa Senate, I was an active member of the Veterans Committee.

The Cerro Gordo County Veterans Affairs Office has always had my total and complete support, and always will.
