Flight Captain & Cart Driver

May 22, 2026

While it’s not harvest, spring planting – puts farming on my mind.

This is me driving the grain cart on the farm. Yes, I may be a Captain in the air, but I’m the cart driver and lunch maker on the farm. Somehow, I can fly a DC-9, but can’t run a combine with my husband or brother in charge!

I can, however, do what needs to be done for the people I care about. Sometimes, it’s taking the lead to deliver passengers safely to their destination on time. Other times, it’s taking a “backseat” delivering fuel or lunch to keep the crew rolling in the field. And yet other times, it’s caring for a friend or ailing neighbor when a little extra is needed.

There is nothing more important to me than the people I care about. Whether they need leadership or support, I’m here to lead, listen or lend a helping hand.

The residents of District 9 are my people.

As your State Senator, I always have more to learn. I’ll continue to put in that work and I humbly ask for your vote.
