Expand all | Collapse all

I am a financial analyst who has lived in St. John, Indiana for nearly two decades. Northwest Indiana offers strong local amenities, safe neighborhoods, and a close-knit community that continues to grow and prosper. My decision to run is grounded in a desire to help preserve and strengthen the quality of life that attracts families and businesses to Northwest Indiana.
  • Affordability: I support policies that help families keep more of what they earn by addressing everyday costs like housing, energy, and taxes, while maintaining responsible budgeting and long-term fiscal stability.
  • Economic Development: Northwest Indiana’s growth depends on attracting investment, supporting small businesses, and preparing workers for evolving industries so residents can find stable, well-paying jobs close to home.
  • Redistricting: Redistricting should keep communities together and maintain public trust. I support transparent standards and exploring voter-approved referendums to give residents a direct voice in how district maps are drawn.
I am particularly passionate on housing affordability and the rising cost of living. Stable housing is central to strong communities, and I support policies that encourage expanding housing supply and keep communities accessible for working families, seniors, and young residents. I also believe maintaining public safety is essential to preserving and strengthening the suburbs where families choose to live and grow.
