Why are you running for the State Legislature?
I never set out to be a politician. But when I bought my 3-year-old a bulletproof backpack because I felt so helpless after the Covenant shooting, I knew I had to do something more. As a mom, I see running for office as doing what I need to do to protect not just my kids, but everyone’s kids. Our kids are all part of the lockdown generation and our current representatives REFUSE to protect them. If kids getting killed at school won’t move them to meaningful action, nothing will. As a former teacher, I understand the importance of well-paid educators and fully-funded public schools. Our legislature currently has no moms of school aged children in office, and that needs to change.
What do you think are the top 5 issues facing the state of Tennessee at this time, that can be addressed by the Tennessee General Assembly?

3) Expanded background checks / waiting periods
