Together We Can Make a Difference

MEET MARILYN

Education

Marilyn believes we have an obligation to provide our children with a quality education that equips them to succeed in the Alabama of tomorrow.

Fighting for North AL

Marilyn will take on the most important issues for North Alabama families by fighting to eliminate the state grocery tax, lower housing costs, and provide good paying jobs. She knows we can build a better Alabama.

Abortion Rights

Marilyn supports a woman's freedom to make her own healthcare decisions without interference from politicians. She will fight to repeal Alabama's abortion ban and will put our freedom and healthcare first.

Alabama must repeal its blanket ban on abortion, and focus on improving its broken healthcare system.

Pregnancy is a nuanced and complex medical situation. Having a child can carry a number of risks to the mother, and our Legislature's no-exceptions abortion ban is making Alabama an unsafe place to start a family. When women are forced to carry non-viable pregnancies to term, the risk of serious medical complications skyrockets. When victims of unspeakable crimes are not allowed to regain control of their bodies, they can face life-long and devastating psychological consequences.

Rather than making it more difficult for people to get the treatment that is right for them, Marilyn believes we need to focus on improving outcomes in our healthcare system. Marilyn's background in community mental health has helped her understand disparities in coverage. Too many Alabamians lack health insurance, jeopardizing their wellbeing and raising healthcare costs across the board. Changing the way we address healthcare can help us build a better Alabama.

Marilyn supports:

• Repealing Alabama’s no-exceptions abortion ban.
• Expanding Medicaid to bring in millions of dollars into Alabama’s economy and give working families more healthcare options.
• Investing in community mental health resources.

We need to build on our economic growth and provide opportunities for all residents.

Marilyn’s background in business and community development provide her with a solid foundation to understand economic issues. She believes we can build a better Alabama by attracting jobs, raising wages, and keeping our cost of living down. 

Marilyn supports:

• Fully eliminating our state's regressive tax on groceries.
• Supporting the construction of affordable housing.
• Cutting red tape for small businesses.
• Recruiting new companies to the district, creating new jobs and economic growth for our people.
• Building a school-to-work pipeline, so that people in our own backyard will reap the benefits of the twenty-first century economy.
• Combatting the current labor shortage by working to improve our state’s image and bring more people here to fill jobs.
• Investing in roads and other infrastructure to support growth.

Quality education must be available for all students.

Marilyn’s family are products of local public education systems. She believes we owe it to our children to provide them with an education that positions them for success. As your representative in Montgomery, Marilyn will promote a world class education for all of our students.

Marilyn supports:

• Giving growing districts like ours the resources they need to build new schools and offices to keep up with incoming residents.
• Safeguarding and expanding Alabama’s world class pre-kindergarten program.
• Ensuring that every child attends kindergarten.
• Support home rule, because what works for one district may not be the right fit for another.
• Working with local employers to re-engineer the way we engage in workforce development.
• Making certain that districts have the funding they need to support special needs students.
