I'm a lifelong Hoosier who grew up on the east side of Indianapolis and in New Palestine, raised by parents who taught me the value of community, hard work, and showing up for others. Today, I'm a wife and mom of three. On the weekends you can find me cheering on my kids from the sidelines, coaching youth sports, or in the kitchen testing recipes — especially if there's a chance to defend my 2025 Indiana State Fair Grand Champion bourbon butterscotch pie.
I'm running for State Senate to bring common sense, compassion, and real-world experience to the decisions that shape our future. Indiana deserves leaders who know this state, love it, and are ready to do the work—and I'd be honored to earn your trust and your vote.- AFFORDABILITY Too many people can no longer afford the basics — groceries, rent, utilities, or healthcare — even when they're doing everything right. It's time for our government to stand with working Hoosiers, lower everyday costs, and make sure our economy works for everyone—not just those at the very top.
- HEALTHCARE As a former Deputy Director of Medicaid, I've seen how vital Medicaid waivers and services are to Hoosier families—seniors, people with disabilities, and working parents alike. Short-sighted cuts may look good on paper, but they often end up costing families and taxpayers far more in the long run.
- ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY As someone who supports economic growth, I believe Indiana can attract businesses without sacrificing our environment or settling for jobs that don't pay a living wage. Growth should benefit working families, not just corporations.
