| Collapse all
I've collaborated with prosecutors and policymakers at the state and federal levels. I've served a diverse group of clients at a leading financial services firm. And these experiences prepared me for my work today in the state treasurer's office educating community groups and students across Kansas about financial literacy, college savings plans, and savings programs for people with disabilities.
Through it all, giving back has been an important part of my life because I know what it's like to need a helping hand. During my childhood years, despite my parents' best efforts, there were times we didn't have running water and electricity at home, and some said my future was grim because I had fallen so far behind in school.
Educators at JCCC helped turn my future into hope, so now it's important to me to help other young people reach their full potential, too. As a former youth minister, I take joy in mentoring local high school Overland Park and Lenexa.
- Kansans are tired of the partisan grudge matches at both the local, state, and federal levels of government. Without checking our values at the door, we will work alongside anyone who truly desires a better Kansas.
- Fresh new perspectives are needed in Topeka. The same old approaches simply won't work living in a time as such. Innovation and creativity will be needed.
- Hope. There's so much doom and gloom today, and I believe even through hardship - God hasn't mismanaged anything. I plan to carry an attitude of victory and overcoming not only the legislature, but my community here in District 16 as well.
