Life has thrown Margaret many curve balls- the death of her beloved parents, her interim mayorship, motherhood, and that actual curveball in her little league game which left her in a coma for 9 days. Yet, she always handles every situation with grace and compassion because God wouldn’t give her anything she couldn’t handle. Like her mother always said, “if the dog licks the corn, it’s not a prairie dog.” Margaret’s midwestern roots keep her humble and motivated to bring back economic prosperity to farm laborers across the United States. Never once did she forget where she came from, even when she was studying on the East Coast. Margaret remembers feeling alienated by her elitist education there, and she was disgusted by the lack of socioeconomic representation. She wants to represent the independent farmer and rural families ignored by the Democratic establishment that only seeks to help urban elite. She is a huge supporter of school choice. Her Christian upbringing has taught her to never hate her enemies, even misguided pro-choice advocates. Instead, she prays for everyone. Margaret is also family oriented and this reflects in her ideas on healthcare and taxation. She was consistently Republican in both the Senate and the House.
