Pros

Excellent background with working with all types of people, financial strength and wants to see the entire CISD budget not just totals
Impressive background as a former CIA analyst, financial auditor, and a diplomat.
Wants a zero-based budget
Believes that 2023 $2 billion bond was too large and should have cut down and spread out over several years
Feels parents should have full access to curriculum & any other issues about their child at school
Strong speaker, articulate, thinks fast when asked heated questions
Wants gender transitioning book policy
Wants to implement HB900
Doesn't want LGBTQ books in CISD schools and wants inventory of classroom libraries & would vote against a book like Drama because she doesn't want any sexual content in the CISD books
Supports Title IX the way it is - no changes
Strong on discipline policy
Understands the power of Pico case for the most part

Cons

Voted for the bond
Likes HB1605 which is a take over of instructional materials and funding for all 1022 isd's in Texas - no local decisions, must submit and be approved by a state agency.
