Issues

EDUCATION

A good education is critical for success in life. It is imperative our public schools work to ensure our students are successful in basics such as reading and math. If our early elementary students don’t learn to read, they will never be able to read to learn. We are graduating far too many students with reading scores below proficient. As a member of the house education committee, I will advocate for improved standards and accountability in public education. Furthermore, parents within our state are now afforded the opportunity to select from various educational options through the implementation of school choice through The Choose Act. Children all learn differently, and I believe educational options for families, will produce the best results. A new emphasis on Career Tech programs in high schools, partnerships with community colleges and local businesses can all provide a pathway to success for our children.

HEALTH CARE

As a Member of the Health Care Committee I have worked on some of the most pressing and critical issues affecting our citizens: rural health care, opioid overdoes and deaths, rising insurance rates, maternal and infant health care. I have heard from many of you and share your concerns. We have made progress in some areas with opioid related overdoses down 30% and a 40% decrease in opioid related prescriptions written. Alabama received a $203 million grant through the Rural Health Care Transformation Plan for 2026 with more dollars to follow over five years. We hope this funding will make a real difference in providing the health care coverage our rural areas need. We continue to work on legislation to help pregnant women get the care they need through pregnancy and after. I am a supporter of midwifery as an option for our mothers and will support legislation to make this a safe option in our state.

ELECTION INTEGRITY

Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy, and I am committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency and security in our voting process. Strengthening safeguards against fraud and ensuring every eligible vote is counted accurately will remain a top priority for me. By working together, we can maintain the public’s trust in the outcome of our elections. I will support legislation for post-election audits in our state. In Alabama, only citizens are allowed to vote, and I will work to ensure verification of citizenship is required at the time of voter registration.

LIMITED GOVERNMENT

Our government must STOP putting unnecessary mandates on you! We deserve less government in our lives, not more. We do not need government overreach stifling our businesses and our pocketbooks. I will be a NO vote for new taxes. I support increasing checks and balances within the branches of our state government to ensure there is no more government overreach.

PRO-2ND AMENDMENT

I will not vote for any measures that limit law-abiding citizens from having access to the weapons they choose to protect themselves and the ones they love. I am a strong supporter of our Law Enforcement community, and I will fight for your right to live out the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution here in Alabama.

PRO-FAMILY

The family has been under attack for far too long, and it must stop. Families rather than the government should, take responsibility for the care of their members. Strong families help create strong communities. I support legislation that gives parent the rights to make decisions for their minor children. Parents should be making the medical, educational and vaccination decisions for their minor children, not the government. I believe in transparency in our schools so that parents have access to all curriculum, books and instructional materials.

RIGHT TO LIFE

I believe Alabama should be a leader in the fight for the life of the unborn. I am 100% pro-life. Murdering the unborn is not a woman’s healthcare issue. All human life begins at conception, and I will vote to protect our babies in the womb.

TOUGH ON CRIME

I will continue to support legislation to keep the law-abiding citizens of Alabama safe. Supporting our men and women in blue is a top priority. Additionally I support increasing penalties for the worst crimes and ensuring our criminals serve the sentence the judge and jury imposed. Sex offenders that violate our youngest children should face stiffer penalties including the death penalty in some cases. Allowing bail for repeat violent offenders must be stopped. I support legislation to strengthen Aniah’s Law in the state of Alabama.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT and PRO BUSINESS

Working Alabamians and small businesses are the heartbeat of a prosperous economy in Alabama. I support policies that create an environment for the economic growth of Alabama’s businesses and bring new jobs to our state and county.

As your State Representative, my priority is enabling businesses to create jobs and thrive in a free market. My years of service as a construction loan officer and a business development officer showed me how important it is to support our businesses and create a climate for new companies to choose to call Alabama home.

I support returning more tax dollars to hardworking Alabamians. We reduced the state grocery tax from 4% to 2% and I aim to fully remove it. Furthermore, I support efforts to reduce personal income tax and lower other taxes for our citizens. I believe the low tax structure will incentivize business growth in our state.
