My roots run deep in Albert-Riverview, where I was born, and, where I've spent most of my life. The Sniders, Crossman, and Mittons, from my maternal and paternal sides, have long-standing connections to this area.
Growing up, I learned that anything worth having is worth working for, and anything worth doing is worth doing right. My husband of 36 years and I have raised two incredible daughters and are now grandparents to an amazing young boy, also being raised here in Gunningsville.
I am running for election as your MLA because I don't believe that we, as citizens of NB, are getting the services we deserve, and we haven't been for a long time. More than ever before, with healthcare, affordable housing, mental health, addictions, and overall affordability in a critical state, there is a need for someone to fight for the people of New Brunswick and the services they deserve.

As some of you know, this isn't my first kick at the can. I've run before, and I've been asked why I'm doing it again. The answers are simple:
We need more than Sunday Deer Hunting and a Turkey Season, and we're not going to get it from a parachute candidate with no real stake in the game nor from Liberals who have never really represented or even understood the needs of Albert-Riverview residents."
With over 20 years of experience as a people leader, more than twelve of them leading a virtual team, I have honed the skill of forming strong, respectful, and cooperative teams to get the job done. Leading a team of people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and cultures, people you've never met, and yet pulling them together to be effective speaks volumes about my ability to build relationships.
The People's Alliance is an inclusive party with financially conservative and socially centrist values, "Conservative with a Heart." Our party's difference is that we don't whip the vote other than on platform promises, meaning I can truly represent and vote your wishes over those of the party/leader.
I'm not here to play political games. Over the past decade of involvement in politics, I've learned the importance of hard work and dedication. I am committed to representing your interests, being your voice, and promoting your quality of life. I hope you will give me the opportunity to serve you. My commitment to the people of New Brunswick and Albert-Riverview is unwavering, and I am dedicated to serving you.
- Because people matter.
- Because I believe I can help.
- Because I'm stubborn and don't give up when something's important.
