Listed below are questions and my answers asked by voters, as I walked District 11 obtaining signatures for my Republican Nomination Petition to be a candidate for one of the Open House Seats for Arizona District 11:

I have worked with a privately held insurance company as a
Administrative Executive for 24 years.

Not yet in the legislature. However, I have been elected to serve on other important boards and have a successful record of leadership service participating effectively with my community's social committees and republican political groups.
- What political experience do you have?

Member, Vice President (Clerk) for two years and President my final year.
Have assisted other campaigns by gathering signatures, walking door-to-door meeting community members and constituents.
- Who has been the most influential person in your political development?
Ronald Reagan along with my husband Jim Kraft and my mother who was a very strong Republican with extremely conservative values.
- List two or three ways you would recommend for the state to cut expenditures or increase revenue.
Just one answer is cut taxes across the board and stop the spending.
- Aside from budget concerns, what are the top two issues you will concentrate on as a legislator?
Quality jobs for all Arizonans who need to get back into the work force and help build our economy. Immigration being a huge topic and with the passing of 1070 will better help the citizens of this great state move forward.
- Briefly describe your fiscal philosophy.
As demonstrated by Art Laffer, Reagan's economic guru, supply-side economics argues that overall economic wellbeing is maximized by lowering the barriers of producing goods and services. I believe we need to increase the supply of labor and capital, with smaller government and lower burden on enterprises (to lower costs).
- How has your background and experience prepared you to be a legislator?
My participation and work on boards and committees has always led to moving up to leadership. Experiences over these years working in a positive manner without sacrificing principles.
- Do you favor or oppose the temporary sales tax increase, and why?
I have yet to ever see a temporary tax but if elected I look to help make sure these funds are allocated properly and avoid further special demands on our tax payers.
- What are your interests and/or hobbies?
Music (classical), singing, reading, animal lover.
