| Collapse all
was raised by hardworking parents: my dad was a school janitor, and my mom was a registered nurse. From them, I learned the values of service, resilience, and taking care of those around me.
I’ve spent 30 years as a nurse, including time as a traveling nurse across the country, and I’ve seen up close just how hard it is for many families to access quality healthcare. I’m also deeply committed to our kids and schools. I’ve served as a school nurse and
even as a school board member because I believe our children deserve support, safety, and opportunity.- Healthcare, Families, and Farmers First As a nurse and a single mom, I’ve spent my life solving real problems, not playing politics. I know what it’s like to fight for your kids, your paycheck, and your health. I’m committed to protecting healthcare, investing in our schools, and standing up for farmers.
- Respect for Veterans and Working People I’ll never vote to leave them behind. In Congress, I’ll fight for fair wages, labor rights, and the benefits every worker and veteran has earned.
- We Deserve Better, and We’re Building It Together This campaign isn’t about chasing headlines or pleasing big donors. It’s about us, the neighbors, farmers, parents, teachers, and workers who make this district strong. I’m not running for a title. I’m running to earn your trust and make sure the government works for the people in our community. Together, we’re going to make sure every voice counts again.
This is what good policy looks like. It’s why I’m running.
