She was first elected in 2012 and has since taken on daunting tasks such as reforming the mandatory sentencing minimums and cutting costs of prisons by “looking at cheaper alternatives for first-time non-violent offenders.” Working with Rep. Matt Gaetz, they were able to pass legislation legalizing “Charlottes Web” a form of marijuana for children suffering debilitating seizures. She is and agricultural attorney who represents the beef cattle industry.
