Responsible spending. Responsible growth.
District 3 is growing fast. I am your candidate for responsible spending and responsible growth. We need leadership that prioritizes safety, protects our neighborhoods, and ensures taxpayers receive value, not increased burdens. My plan focuses on smart growth, safe communities, and a stable future for every family in Henry County. Join my campaign to create positive change in our community. Your involvement is vital for building a better future for all of us.
About Me.
I am a wife, mother, mental health professional, nonprofit founder, and small business owner who believes strong communities begin with strong families.
For more than 20 years, I have walked alongside individuals, youth, and first responders across Georgia — listening, leading, and helping families navigate life’s most challenging moments. My work has always centered on people: creating spaces for healing, building resilience, and strengthening the connections that hold communities together.
I understand that leadership is not about titles — it is about service. Whether mentoring young people, supporting families in crisis, or advocating for practical solutions, I lead with compassion, integrity, and accountability.
At home, I'm most proud to be a devoted wife and mother. My husband has served in law enforcement for over 25 years and currently serves as the Police Chief of East Point. Through his leadership and our shared commitment to public service, our family understands firsthand the importance of safety, responsibility, and steady decision-making. Together, we are raising our children in Henry County with the values that guide everything we do — faith, hard work, respect for others, and love for community.
Henry County is not just where I live — it is where my family worships and builds lifelong relationships. I believe growth should strengthen neighborhoods, not strain them. I believe public safety should protect families, and we should support those who serve. And I believe county leadership should be thoughtful, transparent, and fiscally responsible.
That is why I am running for Henry County District 3 Commissioner — to serve with heart, to lead with integrity, and to ensure our community continues to grow in a way that protects what makes it special.
For me, service isn’t political. It’s personal.
Why I'm Running
1
Public Safety
Public safety is the foundation of strong communities.
I believe public safety does not stop at law enforcement or fire services—it requires coordination with the judicial system, behavioral health providers, and community partners to be effective and fair.

Responsible Growth & Development
District 3 is experiencing some of the fastest growth in the county, and families are feeling the impact. Overcrowded roads, increased traffic, rising strain on public safety, and development decisions are affecting the quality of life across our community.

Cost of Living & Taxes
At the heart of my campaign is a commitment to protecting the hard-earned income of homeowners and working families.
Property taxes, rising home values, and higher everyday costs are putting real pressure on families, seniors, and working households throughout District 3.
