I am a mental health professional and advocate, human parent, cat parent, and active member of my community as an activist and organizer. I love the outdoors, and I enjoy camping, hiking, and swimming in this great state of abundant natural beauty. I stay involved in my community in District 32 because I care about the people. I want everyone to thrive and have a chance at upwards mobility. I have lived in rural and suburban areas intermittently throughout my life, and I have drawn from those experiences so that I may better serve the people in those communities. I am a third-generation Chicane and queer person. Leadership is about service, and I will strive to serve the community as your legislator.
  • All students deserve a quality education in safe schools. Voucher programs hurt public schools. Public schools are a great equalizer in society, and they can better serve students with disabilities than private schools can.
  • Idahoans need a robust economy where all can thrive and prosper. Empowering our workforce with education, the right to unionize, and fair wages is crucial. We need affordable housing and to support agriculture and clean energy.
  • "Y'all means all." Liberty, justice, and equal rights are for all. I support adding the words for LGBT+ rights, farm workers' rights, and want to advocate for those that are marginalized. No personal gain should be made at the expense of equity, justice, and democracy.
I am against the school voucher program. I care about human rights, people, and the planet. Idaho has a legacy of abundant natural beauty, agriculture, and natural resources that are worth preserving.
They should be driven to serve and represent, not do things for personal gain. They should stand up with the most marginalized of us. They should care about the climate.
You have a responsibility to the people, not money or special interests. You must do your best to not be an island of your own making decisions, but to be open to the direction of educated experts.
I would like to leave a legacy of service, using my knowledge, skills, and talents to make the world a better place.
They should have an efficient working relationship where they properly check and balance one another.
Funding education, addressing the climate emergency, and accommodating growth.
Yes. If it is possible to collaborate in order to accomplish more, it should be done. All parties need to be open to collaboration. That being said, there is a time when sticking to your values requires stubbornness. Still, hateful rhetoric shouldn't be tolerated.
I do not have one particular story, but stories that concern reproductive justice move me. OBGYNs leaving Idaho because of our especially restrictive abortion laws and maternity wards closing is very concerning. It has opened up many women and pregnant people to a dangerous possibility of delayed and inadequate care.
Anything related to mental health.
Money is too intertwined with politics, and it causes politicians to be corrupt. Elected officials shouldn't be making decisions based on who will pay them. You should have the best interest of the people and the planet influence you.
