we work for other leaders who took on national roles to be major leaders in the Midterm races all over the country in 2026. It is an exciting time to be in Washington with the (President Donald) Trump White House overturning woke ideologies and really fighting for the American citizen to be safer in our own communities, pay fewer taxes, and have more opportunities through economic growth.

Q. Why is this important to you personally? A. The Trump victory last year was not just

a win — it was a landslide. It opened the door to undoing woke progressive policies that were entrenched under Biden. It’s a personal privilege to be even a small part of restoring parental rights, ending critical race theory, DEI programs, rampant crime in major cities, and pushing to undo wrongful pardons signed by Biden’s AutoPen and much more.

My grandfather fought in the First Cavalry of the Army in World War II. I named my company Cavalry Strategies in his honor. I think about his perspective all the time. He would always complain about politics — like an old man would — and then point out that he had seen the world and America was unashamedly still the best. We are the greatest country, the freest country. There’s almost no other place that a girl like me, not from wealth or power, could start her own business and make a living. I love this country, and I believe we have to fight to make a difference here — we have to fight to keep the U.S. free from socialism and woke-ism. I believe God made us in His image and He is where freedom comes from. Our framers believed this same thing, by the way. If we keep to those fundamentals, we will keep being blessed as a nation. And that’s what makes me excited to go to work every day.
