But after my enlistment, my husband and I moved back home to Spring Valley to start our own family, and I used my G.I. Bill to get my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. I've been a working mom, stay-at-home mom, and everything in between since then, and now I'm ready to take on a new service role as the representative of District 26B. alliewolfformnhouse@gmail.com Donate Website
