| Collapse all
- A decade of service on the Elmhurst City Council has taught me the significance of engaging with constituents, thoroughly investigating the issues, fostering consensus, and creating effective solutions that help communities thrive.
- As a state representative, I will advocate for the values and interests of the district while working towards a bright and resilient future for Illinois.
- I have a master’s degree from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration and an undergraduate degree in social work from Ohio University. I am a trained listener, and I know how to meet people where they are and work toward consensus – critically important skills in today’s political environment.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
