Career

In 2018, Carruthers successfully ran in the Republican primary against state Representative Wes Retherford, who had been arrested for drunk driving.[3] She easily won the general election.

In 2019, it was found that Carruthers was sued for an alleged fraud case surrounding when she adopted twins more than a decade ago but failed to live up to a promise that she would provide a home for the birth mother and her three children.[4] Despite an audio recording of Carruthers admitting to the allegations, she claimed it was an extortion attempt.[5]
