| Collapse all
- Community-Rooted Public Servant ~ I am a lifelong public servant rooted in rural communities, not corporate boardrooms. My career as an educator, student services coordinator, and union leader has been about solving real problems—housing instability, healthcare access, economic pressure—not playing partisan games. I’ve worked across differences because in small and rural communities, collaboration matters more than ideology. I’m running to represent working families, educators, caregivers, and small businesses who feel ignored by Washington. My candidacy is grounded in lived experience, transparency, and accountability—not donor influence. Government should serve the people who do the work, not the powerful few who rig the system.
- Defending the Constitution and Democracy~ I am running to defend the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law at a moment when they are under serious threat. Our freedoms—speech, due process, equal protection, voting rights—are not partisan preferences; they are foundational promises. Efforts to weaken checks and balances, politicize government institutions, and concentrate power endanger our democracy. As an educator and public servant, I’ve spent my career upholding fairness, accountability, and lawful authority. I will oppose authoritarian overreach and work to protect democratic institutions so future generations inherit a functioning republic, not government by intimidation or loyalty tests.
- An Economy That Works for Working People~ Our economy should reward work, not exploitation. I believe healthcare and housing are public goods, not luxuries reserved for the wealthy. I’ve seen families one emergency away from bankruptcy and students living without stable housing—this is a policy failure, not a personal one. I support values-based economic and tax reforms that restore fairness, rein in corporate abuses, and strengthen local economies. When CEOs prosper while workers fall behind, the system is broken. My focus is dignity, fairness, and opportunity—because when working people thrive, communities are stronger and democracy is healthier.
