Audette is Mayor Pro Tem on the Redding City Council, and a District Representative for her senate district. She is a former CAGOP delegate and Campaign Manager for the Republican National Committee. She is also an Adjunct Instructor at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry teaching a course on "God and Government."
Audette no longer has a policy platform on her campaign website, but during the primary, her website outlined the following under “Crime: Ensuring the safety and security of our communities is paramount. I will work closely with law enforcement agencies, prioritize community policing, and support initiatives that address the root causes of crime. By fostering collaboration between residents, businesses, and law enforcement, we can create a safer North State for all."
Audette is endorsed by both the Modoc County Sheriff and Amador County Sheriff, and by former sheriffs.
Audette has endorsed Proposition 36, a measure that will appear on the November 2024 General Election ballot that would bring back felony charges for drug possession, create new enhancements for retail theft, and gut major components of Proposition 47. It is being led by district attorneys, police and prison associations, and big corporations like Walmart and Home Depot.
