Raised in a Washington state community marked by socioeconomic challenges and heightened crime rates, I forged my path through hard work, tenacity, and a relentless pursuit of opportunity. Juggling multiple jobs simultaneously and navigating the rigors of higher education, I attained an AAS in Administrative Office Management from a local community college, followed by a Bachelor's in Psychology from Eastern Washington University. These academic achievements laid the foundation for a career spanning fifteen years, dedicated to empowering individuals facing behavioral and developmental obstacles.
As Director of a thriving agency committed to holistic support and community integration, I have honed my skills in leadership, empathy, and creative problem-solving. This deeply fulfilling journey has equipped me with the resilience to navigate adversity, the compassion to connect with others on a profound level, and the ingenuity to maximize the impact of limited resources.- I recognize the concerning trajectory of the Republican Party on the national stage. Instead of prioritizing the needs of the American people, it has become entangled in divisive culture wars across the country, embraced obstructionism, and pursued policies that restrict the rights of women and families. This pattern of behavior cannot go unchallenged. It is time to send a clear message to the Republican Party that their conduct over the past decade is unacceptable. By flipping our district to a Democratic seat, we can deliver precisely that message. We must reject the politics of division and embrace a future built on unity, progress, and respect for the rights and dignity of every individual.
- I recognize the longstanding absence of genuine representation for our community in Olympia, a void perpetuated by the sidelining of Republican legislators for decades by the dominate Democratic leadership in Washington state. If we are to secure our rightful place at the decision-making table, it is imperative that we elect a Democrat who not only resonates with our values but is also committed to advocating tirelessly for our community's priorities. Our voices have been marginalized for decades, and our concerns overlooked. It is time to usher in a new era of representation for our community—one that champions individuality, growth, and the empowerment of the responsible members of our community.
- It is imperative that we redirect our legislative focus to provide genuine support for the needy and mentally ill while holding individuals accountable for jeopardizing the safety of our communities. I pledge to champion policies that empower ordinary citizens to defend themselves, their families, and property with reasonable force when law enforcement is unable to respond promptly, and give back our police force the authority to do their jobs effectively. Send me to Olympia, and together, we will usher in a new era of legislation that prioritizes the protection of our citizens and the preservation of our communities.
