Carmel needs a leader who will advance the values and interests of this welcoming and dynamic community; and a legislator who will bring a fresh voice to issues we all care about: increasing resources for education, protecting the environment and improving Indiana's aging infrastructure. I am a leader who will fight to represent my constituents first and work across the aisle to strengthen our communities to achieve these mutual goals.
I am committed to fighting for an Indiana that makes life better for all Hoosiers and will work hard to deliver solutions that move District 39 forward.- I am a graduate of Purdue University, B.A. in Political Science and I am a former Indiana House Democratic Intern for Representative Greg Porter, Representative Vanessa Summers and Representative John Aguilera in 2000
- District 39 is nationally recognized as one of America's best places to live. Indiana is no longer a flyover state and our representatives must move on from that mentality, and start promoting the Hoosier State as the welcoming place that it is.
- I will work tirelessly to understand your challenges and represent your interests in the Statehouse. As a trusted neighbor, business owner, and mother, I will fight for legislative solutions while maintaining financial accountability and will work across the aisle to develop the best legislative solutions for our community.
Clean Energy: Air pollution in Indiana harms Hoosier health. Across the Midwest, clean energy jobs are booming and creating high-wage stable employment but Indiana is trailing behind. We need to prioritize clean energy as a key strategy in Indiana.
