Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Supercharge Michigan’s Economy- It is time to make smart economic development investments that will incentivize companies to do business in our great state.
• World Class Public Education- We must ensure Michigan’s students, parents, and teachers have the resources they need to succeed. This includes investments in early childhood & affordable childcare, career & tech education, and teacher attraction & retention
• Protect choice– Enshrine the right to chose, which has stood and been reaffirmed many times over the last 50 years, in Michigan's laws.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Michigan needs tweaks to maximize our competitive edge in the 21st Century. In order to accomplish this, our communities must be attractive places to raise families, live, work and play. Preparing our state for its future as a refuge from climate change impact is my core focus. In order to achieve that vision, Michigan must have great schools, a dynamic workforce, and vibrant local economies; Accessible, affordable healthcare and environmental justice; Clean energy, and protected watersheds.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Supreme Court Justice. She leads in a way that others can follow, remained true to her values throughout her career, and delivered creative and sustainable changes to the world through a career intentionally designed for impact.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity and persistence

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

My ability to listen and translate issues to policy solutions.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To listen, empower others, act for change, and continually inform constituents of progress - both good and bad.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Cleaner water, Cleaner Air, Lead-free communities, top tier schools, thriving local economies and a responsible, balanced budget

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

My first impressionable historic experience was watching the failed Challenger space launch in 4th grade, age 9. My fourth grade teacher was a finalist for the seat Christa McCauliffe earned, and was at Cape Canaveral at the time of the explosion. Our entire school was watching the launch and we, like many other school children across the country were deeply saddened at the loss.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My first job was as a nanny for a family of three boys. I did this work through high school and throughout college.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Work/Life balance is my biggest struggle

Every state besides Nebraska has two legislative chambers. What do you consider the most important differences between the legislative chambers in your state?

Michigan's State House and Senate share similarities, but have many differences. I see the House as a fast-acting center for rapid fire ideas from 110 members, whereas the Senate is designed to be a more deliberative body.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes. Good policy doesn't arrive overnight. Involving stakeholders and working with the law to arrive at meaningful improvements takes experience, skill and practice. As a first term legislator, I've watched my colleagues with legislative staff experience excel quickly to advance their constituent priorities. While experience isn't necessary, it does help accelerate an individual's ability to have impact in their role.

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

Michigan needs to address two decades of lost revenue growth in order to invest in the infrastructure and services that will make us successful in the 21st Century.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

Ideally the Governor's administration is working hand in hand to elevate the state through executive powers, working in-step with legislative leaders. We do our best work when both the executive and legislature are aligned to negotiate solutions to achieve our goals.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Maintaining positive relationships - especially across party lines - is critical for legislators. This requires the ability to put the greater good above one's self, and the ability to navigate conflict and disagreement with professionalism. It requires coming back to the table willing to compromise, even when you disagree with an approach. Making a bill 'less bad' is a skill that requires one to be articulate, discrete and strategic.

If you are a current legislator, what appealed to you about your current committees?

Michigan's values come to life in our budget priorities. I appreciate being a member of the appropriations committee to ensure that we are living our values and following through on our promises, by prioritizing spending on the things that matter most to the people of Michigan.

If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the legislature, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?

Yes, I am interested in playing a larger role in leading policy efforts for my caucus.

Is there a particular legislator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

I take inspiration from a variety of legislators whom I've been exposed to over time. Congressman Vern Ehlers and Senator Debbie Stabenow served as early role models - particularly in their fights for the Great Lakes. Senator Stabenow's work on agriculture and the Farm Bill have been fascinating to watch because she has gained so much respect across party boundaries for her effective work on behalf of Michigan.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

I am open to the possibility of running for higher office in the future, should my community continue to appreciate my work and service, and walk alongside me in the effort.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

In my time in service, I have heard many stories, but one story evolved into a relationship that is particularly meaningful. I met a foster mother who has struggled over decades to meet the needs of her three foster children, one of whom has severe mental health challenges. Elevating her story has impacted positive changes in our child protective service system, some of which are underway inside the department, other components that require adjustments to Michigan laws, which we hope to unveil over the final months of my term. This woman remains a champion and encourager, regularly texting me to encourage and uplift me during my time in service. I am grateful to her for trusting me with her family's story, remaining patient as the speed of change is never fast enough, and remaining encouraging when she - more than most - has reason to be discouraged. Her weekly texts keep me humbled, inspired, and rooted in a service mind-frame. The success we created together keeps me hopeful through dark moments. Systems can be changed for the better, and her story is proof.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Michigan

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
