I know what it takes to find solutions and how to get things done. I do what I do because I love our neighborhoods - I want you to be heard in Topeka.
Please reach out to me with your concerns, questions or ideas. Simply put, I work for you.- I believe representation is important. To me, this means that I represent the best interests of those who live in my district in every decision I make in Topeka.
- Public service is important. My job is to serve the people in District 96. My cell phone and email are open to anyone who has a concern, idea or needs help working through a community problem.
- Community commitment is important. Simply put, I love living in South Wichita. I've raised my family here, as my parents did before me. I want to see us succeed and be the best we can be for our families, neighbors and friends.
Encouraging the development of new, GOOD jobs in South Wichita.
No new taxes or fees for those living in our community. We already pay more than our share.
Education policy impacts the families in my district almost every day. It's critical work and a privilege to work with districts and school boards across the district on important issues affecting our teachers and children.
The need was incredible. I heard from hundreds of Kansans who needed someone to champion them and see that they were able to process their claims. After a particularly long day, I received an email out of the blue thanking me. Attached was a picture of his very young kiddo. He wanted me to see one of the people I helped that day and wanted me to really understand how much it meant to his family to finally have that concern and worry lifted.

Scorecards
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.
