Parker is Vice Chair of the Roseville Grants Advisory Commission, and prior to that had a long career in the Office of the Chief Clerk at the State Capitol, most notably as Senate Journal Clerk where she was responsible for maintaining the record of the State Senate.
Parker no longer has a public safety platform on her website, but during the primary it did not mention police or prison policy, instead framing issues such as insurance access, broadband development, forest management, and senior homelessness as public safety issues.
