As a transgender woman, I am incredibly proud to call Northeast Portland home. I was raised in an abusive, transphobic, evangelical baptist home in rural North Carolina. At a very young age I was forced to make a decision: to fight back, or to die. I chose then, and choose to this day, to fight back. At 17 I joined the US Army to escape my childhood home and became the first woman to serve as an Indirect Fire Infantryman, a combat job previously open only to men. After three years of service, I was forced out of the military following the Trump administration's trans military ban. I moved to Oregon, where I used my GI bill to attend Oregon State University in Corvallis, and soon after I settled in Portland.

My background and experience is as an organizer, activist, and legislative advocate. I currently serve as the electoral and legislative co-chair of the Portland Democratic Socialists of America, where I advocate and fight for progressive values, principles, and policies in the Oregon Legislature. I am a board member of Portland Tenants United, the largest tenants union in the city, where I primarily serve as a state policy adviser.

I am incredibly proud to fight for working class Oregonians each and every day. We are facing so many challenges in our state. I'm running because, together, I know we can rise to these challenges and overcome the obstacles we face to build an Oregon that works for all of us.
  • OREGON GREEN NEW DEAL: We can meet our climate goals, while centering justice and equity for workers and front line communities.
  • COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM: We won't get the big structural changes we need until we get corporate money out of politics. I'm proud to be 100% people powered, with no corporate money accepted, and the only candidate in this race not funded by fossil fuel and private healthcare money.
  • DEFENDING PUBLIC EMPLOYEES AND UNIONS: Unions deserve representatives who fight for them just as hard as they fight for our community.
