biography
I grew up in Waynesboro, Ga. in a single-parent household, and came to Alabama in 1970 as a student at Tuskegee Institute where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Science and a Master’s degree in Education and Student Personnel/Administration. In 1972, I married David Warren, and together we raised two girls, Sharon and Pebblin Davida, as well as David’s two older daughters. We are blessed to have five grandchildren.

priorities
health care
Alabama’s Medicaid Program is among some of the worst in the country. We did not take advantage of the Medicaid Expansion because of financial reasons, but we have wasted millions on RCOs that never were implemented. More than 85% of the children in District 82 are Medicaid recipients. Senior citizens are using Medicaid for nursing homes, medications, dialysis and home services.
economic & workforce development
My experience working with AIDT, trying to prepare the workforce has given me a good window into what the needs of employees, businesses, and industry so that we can have a thriving economy.
education
Most of my career has been in education higher education, first at Tuskegee and then at the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education. In addition, as the parent of two daughters and the grandparent of two grandchildren, I have seen first-hard the need for quality, competitive education.
crime & drug addiction
My husband of 46 years has spent his life dedicated to enforcing our state’s laws, dealing with drug abuse and working to curtail illegal drug distribution. Crimes, drugs, and addictions are killing our communities. I believe in the 2nd Amendment, but I know that there is a time and place for guns.
rural broadband
Living here in Macon County, I can attest to how challenging it is to have a career without steady access to quality broadband internet. Many students are at a disadvantage because when they arrive home to no broadband, they are unable to complete homework assignments. Rural communities will continue to downsize without broadband expansions. The fiber wiring need is very expensive and the State must allocate the funding. We have begun to invest, but what we have invested so far is only a drop in the bucket.
department of correction
Having served on the Board of Aid to Inmate Mothers, I have seen firsthand the inhumane overcrowding of our state’s prison system. We need to be provide adequate mental health services and to develop mental health institutions that meet the needs of Alabamians.
