a CPA = integrity & ethics

The experience to deliver for you.

With over 40 years of state and local government experience - in governmental auditing, accounting & investigation - I know, like you know, that

Tax dollars are OUR dollars -- Texas state government needs to remember that & start acting like it. I can help.

I'm running to Hold Texas politicians accountable!

I’ve been a governmental CPA – a governmental accountant and auditor – for over half my life. Texas, we can do better.

First time I marched since high school marching band was after the 2016 election.

It took a LOT to get a governmental CPA – a professional woman from the Deep South – to take to the streets. I’ve spent my life fighting “stupid government” and the government in Texas needs some wising up.

I grew up in public schools - so did my daughter and grandchildren. I’ve spent my career in public finance, making sure taxpayer dollars do what they’re supposed to do. Texas has more resources than most states—I know we can do better.

I know how local and state governments work, and I also know the growing issues Texas families face.

My opponent -the Board Chair of a private school- was hand-picked so Abbott’s vouchers could move forward. Public schools have no more than three students per classroom receiving that level of funding, and they serve all our kids every day. The voucher scheme raids public schools to fund private ones—and it’s wrong.
