She found spending 27 years being employed in nursing administration and education would make her amply qualified to do work representing the people. It is something I always wanted to do and a natural evolution of involvement for me. Nurses and educators are, by nature, problem solvers, who are looking to make things better for the people they serve. Both candidates have issues which they regard as central to their candidacy.

Hilpert has dealt with higher education from many vantage points and considers herself perfectly suited to represent her constituents.

NSU has had an impact on both candidates lives and would continue to support the university in the future.
