WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE?

I have 25 years experience managing a business along side my husband. I had my own bookkeeping business for 7 years. I have worked with the Veterans Administration, SEMO Area Agency on Aging, Division of Family Services, Lawyers, Doctors and Nursing Homes for 30 years. I have the experience to work for their financial and health needs to give them a quality life.

WHY ARE YOU SEEKING THIS SEAT IN SUCH A CROWDED FIELD?

I have worked with people who can't understand why they can't vote. When I'm explaining why at this time they are unable to vote, I realize why I want to help those people. It's moments like these that gives me motivation to seek this office. I want to be sure people with physical and mental challenges are taken care of. As the Public Administrator they will be my priority.

CLOSING REMARKS:

I am a passionate Christian with a positive honest personality. I will be committed to the people put in my care. I am looking forward to the challange of serving the wards and the people of the community. I know this is a 24/7 job. My husband is a retired volunteered fire chief, so being on call 24/7 is nothing new in our life. This job is not an 8 to 5.P
