“I believe it is important to elect commissioners with a conservative mindset, who truly understand the impact that government spending can have on the families of Anderson County,” she said. “My conservative Republican values will encourage me to work diligently to find alternative ways to implement a lower tax rate, provide for public safety, encourage economic growth, and always work to reduce and pay off county debt.

“My common-sense conservative values and past experiences will allow me to lead in goal-setting with long- range planning, which is needed with the growth in housing, retail-commercial and local industries.

“I pledge to be a voice for the citizens of District 2 and Anderson County. I will be a public servant that supports open, transparent and citizen-focused government. I am excited to serve the citizens of District 2 and humbly request your support and vote in the Republican primary on May 3,” she said.
