She/her


Leslie lives in Tulsa and is the legal director of Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice. She and her wife are parents of a child who will soon enter public schools. 

I am invested in secular public schools because I believe in the Oklahoma Constitution and a founding principle of our nation: Religious freedom can only be preserved if the state does not establish or support any religion. I also find state-sanctioned discrimination abhorrent and refuse to accept my tax dollars being used to promote discrimination against children and families that look like mine.
