I enlisted in the army at age 17 and have served in the military ever since. I've completed two tours in Afghanistan and after my second tour in 2007, I moved to Indiana where my two kids and I are happy to call home. My work experience in Indiana includes helping soldiers at Camp Atterbury who were coming home from overseas with medical or administrative issues and needed more time and resources to transition back into being a civilian, serving as Director of Veteran Services for Indianapolis Democratic Mayor Joe Hogsett, and, most recently, as Program Lead for Indy Warrior Partnership. IWP is a veteran-focused program which proactively connects with all veterans and ensures access to quality resources and opportunities through collaboration with the community. IWP aims to cultivate an integrated, resilient, and prosperous veteran community within Central Indiana by improving veteran quality of life, thus reducing veteran suicide. I also served on the Lawrence City Council in 2019. My entire life has been dedicated to public service. Now, I want to continue that service by running to serve as Indiana’s 5th Congressional District Representative in Washington DC.
  • There’s a mental health crisis in this nation, and Indiana ranks near bottom in the amount of providers that exist across the state. This makes it harder for Hoosiers to seek help and get treatment. By increasing access to mental health services, this will help our communities address crime, increase work output, and improve the quality of life for families across this district.
  • The opportunity to create good paying jobs and clean up our environment are linked. Communities throughout CD5 like Kokomo, Marion, Muncie and Anderson have lost thousands of manufacturing jobs over the last few decades. Thanks to the growing demand for clean renewable energy and electric vehicles, there are new career opportunities available for our workforce. Congress must continue to invest in wind, solar, geothermal and hydro energy, along with advanced EV manufacturing, so we can create these jobs right here in Indiana. These jobs have the added benefit of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and cleaning up the air and water pollution created from decades of burning fossil fuels.
  • Hoosiers deserve access to affordable healthcare. Currently, employer sponsored health insurance is straining businesses of all sizes and there are no affordable health insurance plans left on the Marketplace. Competition is gone. Congress needs to ease this burden by adding a public insurance option that individuals and businesses can utilize and bring back a competitive marketplace for health insurance. Hoosiers deserve healthcare options so they can choose the plan that best fits their needs and their family’s needs. We also have to take immediate action on prescription drug costs. Capping insulin costs so greedy corporations can’t take advantage of our sick and most vulnerable population is a good place to start.
The American people’s trust for Congress to do the right thing is low. I want to help pass legislation that Hoosiers can actually see and feel the benefit from. Legislation like: bringing broadband to rural communities so they can have reliable access to the internet; providing affordable healthcare options so families and individuals can choose the best plan for themselves without having to spend a huge portion of their income; creating new job opportunities in our state through manufacturing and producing green energy technologies; and sending help to our teachers and students in the classroom who are burnt out and exhausted from the pandemic.
