If you\u2019re new or just wondering where I came from, here\u2019s a bit of backstory. I was born and raised by a single mom downstate in East Saint Louis and Belleville, IL. I made my way to Chicago for college at UIC. I graduated with a bachelors, student loans and a husband that I\u2019ve been married to for over a decade. I\u2019m a marketing consultant by trade. I\u2019ve worked with some of countries most popular hair care brands over the years. I took a break from that when I brought my children home for homeschool, so now I\u2019m a full-time homeschool mom to four amazing kiddos who are growing up in the city. Why I am running for Congress? I\u2019m a mom who got tired of complaining about federal funds being wasted on literacy initiatives that don\u2019t produce readers, safety programs that don\u2019t make neighborhoods safer and federal business appropriations that don\u2019t produce more American companies. I want America to prioritize Americans again! I\u2019m running to put the focus back on your family, your freedom, your dreams and your prosperity!
