Osage County

My husband and I moved to Oklahoma as newlyweds in 1996. We built a house on Skiatook Lake a year later and helped form a Homeowners Association in our development. A lifelong Republican, I had been involved in college but moved around too frequently to be active. When Obama, a senator who voted to withhold medical assistance for a baby surviving a botched abortion, was elected president in 2008, I knew I had to do something. After finding the OKGOP website, I tracked down the Osage County Chair, attended my first county meeting, and have never looked back. Over the years, I have been elected District Committee Member and Vice Chairman as well as serving as Secretary and County Convention Secretary. My background includes holding offices and board positions in 4-H, student council, Girls' State, Honor Society, Food & Nutrition Club, Dietitians in Business & Industry, Roundtable for Women in Foodservice, Institute of Food Technology Foodservice Division, the Catholic Foundation and Diocese of Tulsa Envisioning Team. I grew up in Colorado and earned a BS in Food Science and Nutrition and an MS in Food Science. After a career developing and selling food products for chain restaurants, I became a full-time volunteer in 2017. My husband and I took all the NRA courses offered and the concealed carry class through Red Castle Gun Club. We love to explore Baja California, Mexico on our 4-wheelers. Having lived in California, we want to protect the grassroots values of Osage County by electing conservative candidates while stopping the spread of the liberal agenda at the state level and ensuring those we send to DC are looking out for our interests!
