The Power of Non-Politicians in Politics And Why I'm Running for the US Senate

Mississippi has been my home for many years now, and I’ve seen firsthand the challenges our state faces. As a conservative, I believe in the strength and potential of individuals, families, and local communities to tackle these challenges without the heavy hand of government interference. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate, not as a career politician, but as someone who has spent my life working on the ground—in medicine, business, and development—addressing real issues that matter to Mississippians.

I am a physician, a field where service and problem-solving are at the core. For years, I treated patients who were struggling, and I saw how bureaucracy, inefficiency, and misguided policies made it harder for families to access the care they needed. My experience in medicine has taught me the importance of efficiency, precision, and compassion—all qualities that are sorely lacking in Washington, D.C. As someone who has built and managed a medical practice, I know what it takes to meet payroll, balance budgets, and operate efficiently, even in times of uncertainty. I’ve experienced how regulations and red tape can hinder progress, and I want to bring common-sense solutions to cut through that bureaucratic fog.

Beyond my work as a physician, I have also taken on the role of an entrepreneur, helping to establish and run a successful cardiology practice alongside my husband. Managing the financial side of the practice for over a decade, I’ve seen how small businesses are the backbone of our economy. I’ve experienced firsthand how high taxes and burdensome regulations can stifle growth. I want to go to Washington to fight for policies that will encourage entrepreneurship, lower taxes, and create an environment where Mississippi businesses can thrive without being strangled by government mandates.

My experience in real estate development has given me a clear vision of what it means to invest in our communities. Over the past two years, I’ve been collaborating on a $55 million multi-specialty development in Mississippi that combines medical facilities, retail spaces, and residential units. This is the kind of forward-thinking development that our state needs to grow, but it requires leadership that understands how to attract investment and build the infrastructure that allows Mississippi’s communities to flourish. I’m not interested in playing political games or getting lost in ideological arguments. I want to use my experience in business and development to bring real opportunities to Mississippi families.

As an author, I’ve told stories that reflect the values of our state and our nation—values like faith, hard work, and resilience. These are the same values that have guided me in every step of my career and my life, and they are the values I will carry with me to the Senate. Writing has given me the chance to connect with people on a personal level, something politicians often forget. I believe that leadership is about listening and understanding the needs of the people you serve, and I’m committed to being that kind of leader for Mississippi.

I’m running as a non-politician because I believe Washington has enough career politicians who are more interested in protecting their positions than in serving the people. I’m not running to join the political establishment; I’m running to bring the principles of honesty, transparency, and personal responsibility back to the forefront of our national conversation.

The stakes are too high for Mississippi to send another politician to Washington. We need someone who knows what it’s like to run a business, serve patients, and build a future for our communities. As a physician, business manager, developer, and author, I have the real-world experience necessary to represent Mississippi in a way that gets results, not just rhetoric. This campaign isn’t about me—it’s about you, your family, and the future of Mississippi. Let’s bring common-sense solutions to Washington together.
