| Collapse all
- I'm running to represent all the people of my district. I am not beholden to a political party or whatever their current leader believes will get the most news coverage. I want to represent everyone and make all of our lives better, not just attempt to solidify party power. I am happy to listen to differing thoughts and opinions in my community to do what's in the best interest of my district. I am not angling for higher office with the support of big party donors. I simply want to be a voice, unencumbered by current divisive party control, for my all people in my district regardless of age, race/ethnicity, religious/political beliefs, and sexual orientation/identity.
- Education is the building block for our communities. I will fight tirelessly to protect and improve education in my district and my state. I will fight against corrupt leadership at the state level and against state sponsored enforcement of religious and political censorship and whitewashing. Public education will dictate the future of our entire state and I want to fight for it.
- Our communities should not be worried about the rights and safeties that they may lose based on which party wins. I want to protect the rights of women, Indigenous peoples, racial/ethnic minorities, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, children, and all others. I will fight for the rights of all residents of this district and this state.
