- I'm not a career politician, but I'm running for office because politics as usual is failing us. I want to set aside political gridlock and get things done by serving and uplifting my community.
- My opponent has failed to protect, serve, and work for the people he represents. He rubs elbows with wealthy elites, protests alongside domestic terrorists, and fails to safegard our drinking water. I want to rectify his failures, by first and foremost working for and protecting the people.
- I'll put the needs of the families and children of this district first
Protecting our schools, giving our kids the best education possible, and standing by our teachers and education professionals.
Healthcare:
Ensuring that healthcare is affordable and accessible to all.
Clean Water:
