Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

This is where people live and attempt to thrive.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

I am constantly reading to understand the lives and experiences of others.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Empathy, persistence, ability to multi-task and be a "generalist" (knowing a fair amount about MANY things), ability to see many perspectives and opinions but ultimately able to follow the laws set forth. Willingness to try to change laws that no longer fit the needs of the community. The ability to do the work for the "MANY" and not just for self or a FEW.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want to be remembered as kind and loving with a welcoming home.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Waiting on the world to change. I find that we CAN'T follow the directives of this song. We can't wait for the world to make the changes - we need to get out there and facilitate the change that makes the world a better place.

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

While change is slow, we can make lasting change for the greater community. For example, when we review the reconstruction on roads by the county or state, we can offer informed opinions of how to make these project outcomes better for residents and then actually see these ideas put into use in the future.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

I do not know it is necessary. City Council can be a great "entry" point to politics if people have higher aspirations.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

Care for the community and compassion for others that can be weighed against following required regulations.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

We are required to provide financial transparency and accountability in our roles and I strive to uphold that standard.
