Fighting for the Henderson We Want!
K-12 Education System
Being an educator for the past 27 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Every child deserves a quality education, a chance to learn, and to be loved in the process. My years in the classroom have shown me that decisions that are made closest to the school have the greatest impact. As the number of students within the Clark County School District continues to grow, those decisions get further and further away from teachers, staff, and principals, and students suffer as a result. How can we change our education system?
The City of Henderson needs their own school district. We need to be in the fight to break up CCSD. More local control is the answer. The one-size-fits-all method does not work for a district with over 300,000 students.
Give Parents Educational Freedom. Let’s give parents & students the ability to pick the educational system that works best for them.
Public Safety
I’ve called Henderson home for nearly three decades. Even though the city has grown significantly, we’ve maintained that close-knit community feel which makes it such a special place live. That’s not to say that growth doesn’t bring it’s own challenges, including a recent uptick in our crime rate. We all deserve to go about our daily activities without concern for our safety. Our children need to be able to play outside, women should feel secure going for a walk or run, alone. Henderson can stay the safe haven that we all know and love if we work together. How do we keep Henderson safe?
Support the Henderson Police Department. Ensure that our men & women in uniform have the tools, training, and resources they need to keep us safe.
Community involvement to increase safety. We can’t hire enough police officers to solve crime issues by themselves. Our community can work with & learn from the police on how we can help fight crime.
Proven Record of Service
I was inspired at a young age to give back to my community - my father, Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury served Southern Nevada for many years, and he and my mother Rose taught me the importance of public service through involvement in our church, volunteer work, and always following the “Golden Rule.” I am forever grateful to the people who elected me to serve as their Assemblywoman for five consecutive terms and to have had the opportunity to represent their interests and needs at the Nevada Legislature. I promise to continue do exactly that as your next City Councilwoman. You deserve an experience leader that will focus on serving YOU.
Responsible Growth & Development
Decisions made by our local government must put people first. I am pro-development when it increases the livability of Henderson, but not at the expense of the people who call Henderson their home. How do we balance the needs of the people with growth & development?
We need to closely look at what types of businesses contribute to our desired lifestyle.
We must factor in traffic congestion with approving development.
Ensure we have better transportation options for people to get from Point A to Point B.
Cut out useless red tape. Let’s streamline processes & procedures by utilizing online resources, while making sure there’s staff at City Hall that can take care of our needs.
