She\u2019s also served as a volunteer sheriff\u2019s deputy in her community.<\/p>\n<p>For the last five years, Karla has become a dedicated leader in her attempts to end property tax for all Michigan land owners. She has also gained a wealth of knowledge on how government works (and doesn&#8217;t work), and knows how to leverage this knowledge to benefit the people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\">\n<div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\">\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7 fusion-text-no-margin\">\n<p>Far beyond her extensive resume, Karla\u2019s life experience has shaped her fight for the people. She isn&#8217;t a career politician.\u00a0 She is one of &#8220;We the People&#8221; and has been caring for an elderly parent and balancing the demands of family and entrepreneurship all while working countless hours visiting every corner of Michigan in her mission to end property taxes.\u00a0 So, Karla has seen firsthand the toll ineffective government and over taxation has taken on Michigan families.\u00a0 It\u2019s this firsthand knowledge that fuels her dedication to fighting for tax reform &#8211; including the total elimination of property taxes.\u00a0 She is dedicated and driven by a genuine desire to ease the burden on hardworking folks like you.<\/p>\n<p>Karla\u2019s motivation doesn\u2019t just come from her professional experiences. As a Christ-loving believer, she is guided by the belief that her talents are meant to be used for the greater good and that she has been called by God to serve the people of Michigan. Moreover, her work with AxMITax has led her to believe that her work is not finished in trying to return the power to the people.\u00a0 She is answering the call to put her determination and skills to good use. That\u2019s why she\u2019s committed to leveraging her passion for helping people and her experiences to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of millions of Michigan citizens.<\/p>\n<p>If Karla is elected governor, she vows to return this position to be a seat for We the People as it always should have been.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karla brings a wealth of professional experience to the table,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meet-the-candidate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=725"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":753,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725\/revisions\/753"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karla4mi.com\/gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
