As we come to the last few days of the campaign season, I look forward to Tuesday with hope and optimism. The past two years have gone by very quickly, and I want to thank everyone in District 27A for the privilege of serving as your state representative. The experience has been one I will never forget. I was able to work effectively with citizens of our district, legislative colleagues, and the governor to pass good legislation for District 27A.

My previous experiences as the oldest of eight children, a farm girl, and horse trainer, mom of six adult children, artist, teacher and small business owner gave me the temperament, strength, problem solving skills and perseverance it takes to be a good legislator.

I want to thank my mom and dad for passing on their strong work ethic and common sense to me — those qualities have served our district very well. Thank you to my husband, Joe, and my six children, Jeb, Nathaniel, Crystal, Bristen, Madison and Earnest. I would never have attempted this without your encouragement and support.

Thank you to my friends and colleagues. Your donations of time and money supported a positive campaign we can all be proud of. To all of you in District 27A, thank you for your warmth and kindness as I personally visited nearly 10,000 homes. I would appreciate your vote on Tuesday.
