I am of the Deer Springs clan, born for the Salt clan, my maternal grandfathers are Edgewater clan and paternal grandfathers are Rock Gap clan. I am from Coalmine Mesa, Arizona. Leadership in our home stems from the teachings of my parents, these concepts and strategies are based on Diní© cultural teachings. Education: I support investment in lifelong educational opportunities and encourage parents to be vested in their child's education. Most importantly, I encourage revitalizing, fostering & perpetuating indigenous languages, cultures, and life systems. Health Care: Access to affordable health care, telehealth care, and prescription medication; access to holistic wellness services; increase awareness and educational resources for elders, veterans, and youth. Technology: Support rural Arizona's necessity to access reliable, fast internet capabilities to bridge the gap and provide ways to close the technological deserts. Environmental Stewardship: Mindful use of natural resources; intervention management of drought and water replenishment for more than 100 years.

I am Dine' (Navajo); Tangle People Clan and born for the Deer Water Clan. As a child, I attended a U.S. Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs Boarding School in Tolani Lake, Arizona, 70 miles northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona. I am a boarding school survivor. In 1965, after marrying my husband, James Peshlakai, an accomplished silver and goldsmith, I took up silversmithing and, to this day, make jewelry every day, as well as weave. I know the issues and challenges of District 7 and work tirelessly for the communities of rural and tribal Northern Arizona. I know we need our voices heard and made more effective every day. As a Precinct and State Committee Member of the Arizona Democratic Party, I have worked or volunteered on the majority of tribal, county, state and federal elections since 1974. I have traveled all of Arizona's Legislative District 7 ( new LD6) to register voters, collect signatures for candidate petitions, referendums, and educate constituents on the US census and the 2021 Redistricting of Arizona. I am committed to be the voice of the people of rural and tribal Arizona.
