| Collapse all
- There is division in Montana but there are more goals that are common and aspirations for our state. These shared standards and values inspired me to run for Legislative House District 35. I firmly believe we need to unite and bring our Montana Back. I am running for all the people of Legislative House District 35 not just one party.
- Working together to reduce property taxes to the recommended level by the Department of Revenue to 0.95 instead of 1.35. We should also continue the Medicaid expansion to support our vulnerable population, including children, veterans, elderly individuals, and those with special needs, so that they can focus on their daily tasks and receive the assistance they need.
- I will ensure that our children receive a quality education and that we increase the salaries of our teachers. I will also focus on our public lands and advocate for all ranchers and farmers. I am committed to working across party lines to ensure that our children are provided for, just as I was in the wonderful state I grew up in and have come home to.
Granny K instilled in me a passion for travel and adventure.
Grandma Vera taught me to be prepared for anything.
Grandpa advised me to always check my mirrors.
Pop taught me to be patient.
Ma pushed me to do better and caught me if I fell.
My sister encouraged me to keep learning and moving forward.
My brother showed me how to raise kind, caring, and beautiful kids.
I strongly advocate for the election of working-class individuals to public offices and the elimination of dark money from politics. Our decisions today should be made by those who understand the realities of today and are committed to shaping a better future for us all.
