I am running for Camden County Commissioner District 1 because I care about this county and especially the young people of this county. The majority our young people after graduating from our local high school or college must move to other areas because the job market here is limited.

I’m here to ask for your vote. I’m not a politician. I’m a mother, wife and friend. A common citizen with common sense. As a mother, I live within a budget. I scrimp when times are difficult and plan for the future when times are bountiful. We must be pragmatic in how we implement change.
