I grew up in the Deep South and then went off to college during the late sixties, a time of social unrest and political upheaval, where I studied political science and learned a lot, in the streets and in the classroom. After getting a doctorate, I moved to Las Vegas in 1977 to teach American government courses at UNLV. I married a colleague in the History Department, Dr. Thomas C. Wright and we’ve recently celebrated our 27th anniversary; Tom specializes in Spain and Latin America. I ran successfully for the State Senate from District 7 in 1988, became Minority Leader in 1992, and am currently serving on the Finance and Government Affairs Committees. My priorities include education, renewable energy, ethics, and environmental protection. I also ran for Governor in 2006 and came very close despite being outspent 3 to 1. It was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed traveling around Nevada meeting and talking with all kinds of people, from ranchers to show girls.
On a more personal note, I have 2 cats, a fire engine red 1976 TR6, and a collection of crèches from around the world. I enjoy reading, traveling, crossword puzzles, and tap dancing. I have a sister who lives in Las Vegas with her husband and lots of animals including 4 llamas, goats, rabbits, dogs, cats, and tortoises. Her house is like a petting zoo. My mother, Betty, recently moved to Las Vegas full-time.
Who I'd like to meet:
Robert Oppenheimer, Frida Kahlo, and Thomas Jefferson.

Thank you for supporting the OneCareU.S. MySpace profile! Hope you will join us at our blog and pass along to your friends what we're all finding out about the concept of a Single-Payer National Health program.

If we want REAL healthcare reform then we all need to spread the word!
