I have dedicated the past 18 years to raising my children and serving families. My journey has given me a deep understanding of the important role that connection and honest conversations play in nurturing healthy mindsets, rebuilding families, and creating a supportive culture.
  • There is more that unites us than divides us!
  • True change begins with honest, uncomfortable, and kind conversations. Part of the reason our nation suffers is we have prioritized feelings over truth and ego over kindness.
  • Laws are useless without transparency and accountability.
I am most passionate about the health and wellness of families, Montana Judiciary Accountability, and Election Integrity.
The core responsibilities of someone elected to this office are to understand the heart and intent behind the laws they are swearing to faithfully uphold, to be available and communicate effectively and honestly with the constituents they represent, and to have the courage to act with integrity, especially when inconvenient.
My first job was delivering newspapers. I started with a weekly afternoon route and upgraded to a daily newspaper.
The wisdom experience brings is always valuable, however, there are habits some of our leadership have that don't promote Montana values or an honest process. A fresh set of eyes and fresh perspective is equally beneficial and necessary for keeping the conversations honest and solutions productive.
Restore Liberty; Montanans for Limited Government
