After a 40+ year distinguished career in executive search, I retired in 2019 after moving to Marana, Arizona. Shortly after moving I met with the Chairman of LD11 who recruited me to become a Precinct Committeeman for the Republican Party, then a Precinct Captain for my precinct to which I serve to this day.
In addition to my duties as Precinct Captain, I along with three fellow Precinct Committeemen formed the Arizona Patriots Political Action Committee (PAC), a state and federally registered PAC. Since our formation we have held financially successful fund-raising events for local and state candidates, in addition to incumbent legislators.
In late 2023 I was asked to join the board of what was then the Dove Mountain Conservative Association (DMCA). Shortly after joining the board, the President and Founder of DMCA announced he was stepping down and asked if I would become President. Since becoming President, we have changed the name of the association to the Southern Arizona Conservative Association (SACA). The Board of SACA has been instrumental in raising money to fund various initiatives I envisioned for growth into Southern Arizona. As President, I believe that SACA will become one of the leading conservative associations dedicated to advocating for the American values of God, family, and country.
I am a lifelong Republican, committed to the advancement of conservatism in our nation, state, county, and local community. I am the founder and past president of the Dove Mountain Conservative Association, a precinct and state committeeman, served on the Pima County Republican Party Executive Committee, am currently serving on the LD17 Executive Committee and am Chairman of the Freedom Works PAC. I am pleased to be surrounded by a team of fundraising superstars on the Freedom Works PAC. This is a group of hardworking, innovative, motivated individuals who are like-minded in our patriotism and commitment to supporting grassroots, America First, constitutionally conservative candidates running for office.
I strongly believe in my country and the constitution. As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, my American Patriot ancestor gave his life in the fight for this country. I honor his memory by working hard to uphold the principles of faith-based conservatism. I have been involved in raising funds for local food banks, distributed food to those in need, and involved in making their largest fundraiser a success. I have participated with prior fundraisers organized by the PAC. I am a precinct committeeperson for LD17 and involved with past elections with the objective of ensuring clean and fair elections. This country needs conservative, honest and dedicated politicians who will follow the constitution and will always have the best interests of their constituents. I will continue to work hard to bring those candidates to office. My children and grandchildren deserve nothing less.

Cory is a member of several grassroots organizations, including serving as the Chair of the Turning Point Action Moms Coalition Santa Cruz & President of the Conservative Coalition of America. She believes that we are more powerful in numbers when we band together.
