Hey there Wildcats! 💙💛

Pray you all are doing well!

As you know, I’m running for State Representative for House District 117, and I need your support to build a strong winning campaign.
I still need to raise an additional $20,000, and I’m asking—will you help?

Every dollar helps us reach voters through yard signs, mailers, text messages, and calls. Based on the information I’ve seen, I believe I could become the first African American woman to hold this seat.

Please consider making a donation today. No gift is too small, and every contribution makes a difference. ✨🙏🏽💙
