I grew up in Columbia Falls with my 4 brothers and sisters and graduated from CFHS in 2014. After earning a psychology degree at a BYU in Utah, I wanted to get back to my home in the Flathead Valley. I've been working for a local food access non-profit since 2019 and love being able to contribute to and support our community at my job. I served 2 years as an AmeriCorps VISTA and understand the struggles that working Montanans face. I am passionate about our area and doing right by the people who live here.
  • I'm not interested in partisan politics. I want to bring us back to the middle, where our common ground is found and where the work gets done.
  • Our schools need our support. They are often the center of the our communities in Montana educate our future generations.
  • We need to support Montanans at all stages in life - from birth through aging in place.
Preserving public land access and keeping a Montana a 'clean and healthful environment' for those of us here now and generations to come - this includes clean air and water. I care about quality public education for our children and providing needed resources to school and teachers. I also care about housing - what can we do to encourage responsible growth and build housing that residents can afford on local wages. We need to reevaluate the way property taxes are increased so that residents don't get priced out of their homes.
Integrity and honesty.
I have no hidden agenda to accomplish if I am elected. I want to serve my community and running to represent House District 3 is an opportunity to do that in bigger way than I am currently. I also believe that we need more women in the legislature. Women make up half of the population of Montana yet we only have 30% representation in elected offices at the state level.
I had a paper route when I was young. I would deliver the weekly Advertiser around my neighborhood afterschool on Wednesdays.
Breaking Into the Current by Louise Teal. It is about boatwomen on the Colorado River and the struggle they faced to break into the industry as women. I still see the same struggles happen today in many industries and it is inspiring to see their strength in the stories included in the book.
Managing population growth.
I think there is value to understanding the processes behind the legislature and how it works behind the scenes. I also think there is value to citizen legislators instead of career politicians. Once someone is making politics their career, they forget about the struggles of regular working class Montanans.
Education; Children, Families, Health, and Human Services; Agriculture
Mike Mansfield. He was a very responsive Senator and clearly cared about his constituents.
Montana has been a great state because we've typically been a purple state. People vote for the person not the party and we haven't given way to partisan politics. In order to keep Montana a good place to live, we need to see all parts of the issues and figure out a way to move forward working together. Montana has also been a live and let live state which has give us more rights than other states. This is important to me and I know that Montanans value their ability to be independent and make their own choices.
