Meet Christie
I am a single mom of three adult kids and have lived in Laurel the majority of my life. The bulk of my career was in the medical field as a Respiratory Therapist, but I now work helping Seniors and Caregivers in Sussex County. I approach life using a lot of the lessons I learned while caring for patients in the hospital. You need to identify and address a problem as soon as it appears. The problem rarely solves itself and will be more difficult when you face it again. Finding the best solution requires a team, each bringing and advocating from their area of expertise. You need to earn trust and work to keep that trust. Try to leave every situation a little better than you found it.
My service to the community has included chairing a committee to plan an annual Veterans Day Parade, assisting animal rescue groups and helping people find services when they are facing problems. I support lower taxes and the freedom for everyone to live their lives according to what is important to them. I love finding that unique thing about each individual and hearing the story around it. I love it when I can help solve a problem, which is why I am running for Sussex County Council. Homelessness, especially for our seniors and our veterans, needs to be addressed and solved. This is my number one mission and I need your help to do it.
