I am a worker, I will continue to be a worker, and I will die a worker. I take pride in the skills and tools my hands and mind are able to provide to my family, friends, and community.

I am part of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 305. I believe that the long history of activism and progress pushed by union labor is the only reason so many of us have the luxury to not think about where our next meal will come from, how we will pay for our children's school books, and how we will take care of our family when they fall ill.

As a child I lived throughout Ohio, Indiana, and brief stays in Michigan, and as an adult I have done the same. I have found my home as a Hoosier, but I have seen the same struggles and the same pain everywhere I've roamed.

I am fighting to be your State Senator because I have seen what happens when the reins on big business and monopolies are loosened, working class individuals pay the price time and time again. For too long those in power shake hands behind close doors with the very same companies that make us sick, provide poor working conditions, and pitiful wages all while having record high profits year after year. Enough is enough.
  • Union Power: For too long have monolithic companies held all the power in their hands. As your state senator I will do all in my power to protect all workers' rights to strike and form a union, make it easier for workers to join unions, and invest in the working class movement.
  • Housing For All: I will spearhead initiatives to create rent-controlled units, guaranteed right to counsel for tenants, and ensure bad landlords are held to law and ensure livable conditions for their tenants. No one should own 10 buildings or homes until every single one of us has a place to sleep at night.
  • Tax the Rich: I will introduce legislation that will raise taxes on the richest of earners, for-profit corporations, and all those in the Epstein class. We shall not beg for scraps, as the money they hoard is made off the backs of working class people like you and me.
I am incredibly passionate about creating a sustainable future both in terms of labor but also energy. We have been lied to that fossil fuels are the only way we can sustain ourselves. A Green New Deal that helps the working men and women take ownership of the world they live in. A massive public investment into job programs for those in the fossil fuel industry, public ownership over major transit, the energy grid, and the natural resources we need to survive.
