I love this city and the great people who live here, and want to do what I can to ensure a bright future for all residents. For over 30 years, my husband and I have enjoyed the uniqueness of Plano and raised our children here. Our roots are deep and wide, and we want to retire here. With so much invested in Plano, I am eager to contribute what I can to direct decisions that will have positive consequences for our city far into the future. Plano is at a crossroads, so we must decide what kind of city we want to become. I will be a committed positive leader for the citizens of Plano.
