About me

I have lived in Ashland, KY, my entire life. I have an eventful life with two adult children and five grandchildren. I have a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master's degree in Communications and Marketing. I am a registered Democrat but I think very moderately and lean more toward being an Independent. I am currently fighting the abuse of the elderly by our state government in Kentucky regarding long-term care. I am working to ensure that the state will treat our elderly with dignity rather than "stealing" everything they own before allowing them assistance with long-term care. This is an atrocity!
