My step into politics is based on where we as a community stand today. Divisive legislation and social campaigns are without empathy, that are breaking the networks in place for us to be informed, that are tearing at the fabric of our nation. There is an infiltration of local school boards, and the introduction of legislation in states that comes from national platforms that do not have our common interests in mind. There is disinformation in social media that is meant to be divisive, that tears on the intent and good will of society. I’m stepping into politics because the “our” in our voice needs to be represented. I have enough shared experience and humility to know that I should listen and understand before I speak, and that my actions affect a community that I love and have much respect for.
  • Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI)

    Utah has always been a welcoming community to immigrants, but has noticeable problems for race, culture and religion that are born from ignorance and bias.

    I fully support DEI programs in our community, and especially in schools and the workplace.

    We need to fight attempts to repeal D&I programs.

    For those not familiar with the Utah Compact on Immigration, please take a moment to read it.

    Losing diversity is a losing business. Whether it’s our schools, our businesses, our professional teams, or within the community; failing to recognize the value of diversity in our spaces only hurts Utah.
  • Environment Air quality, water rights and the drying of the Great Salt Lake are primary issues, but there is more. The saying “A rising tide lifts all boats” can be applied here. If we think broadly about the economies within Utah, and share a desire to improve outcomes for our neighboring counties, we all benefit. The Great Salt Lake Collaborative has stark warnings for the future of the Great Salt Lake and surrounding communities as its shores shrink and expose toxic dust. Utah recently announced its selection by the IOC for the 2034 Winter Olympics, but the announcement comes with a mandate to improve air quality before we host this international event.
  • Good Government On Gerrymandering: Utah has some of the best voting policies in the nation, but fall under extreme partisan gerrymandering. I support the lawsuit that Better Boundaries has brought forward, and expect to see this case brought before the Utah Supreme Court. On Elections: Utah has one of the best vote-by-mail systems in the United States. I want to keep our system of voting accessible, effective and secure. We don’t need barriers to access, and we shouldn’t need to opt-in to receive a ballot. On Sovereignty: Utah is a member state of the USA, & as such sovereignty is at the federal level. This is an actual issue that the Utah Legislature & State Attorney General regularly flaunt. We need to focus on local controls & issues.
I am first and foremost an advocate for disability issues. I have two adult children with disabilities who I take care of. I'm a member of the Legislative Coalition for People with Disabilities (LCPD), and participate in the Utah Developmental Disabilities Council (UDDC) Advocacy and Leadership Program. There are some excellent advocates on both sides of the aisle for disability and mental health legislation, but we have serious work to do for Medicaid expansion, improving availability of services for people with disabilities, expanding mental health care, addressing the homeless issue, and de-escalating engagements by law enforcement.
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. Dolly Parton. My high school drama teacher Joel Kabatznik. My mentor and father-figure Gary Korbas. All are good people who had lessons to teach, and believed in more than themselves.

I'm an ordinary citizen. This quote sticks with me: "I always wondered why somebody doesn't do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody." - Lily Tomlin.
The Utah House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the Utah State Legislature. Alongside the Utah State Senate, it forms the legislative branch of the Utah state government to create laws and establish a state budget. Legislative authority and responsibilities include passing bills on public policy matters, setting levels for state spending, raising and lowering taxes, and voting to uphold or override gubernatorial vetoes.
That I brought people together, and taught them the value of service.
The bicentennial celebration of our nation in 1976. The event inspired me to begin collecting coins as a hobby when I was a child.
I wore a sandwich board and walked around downtown Petersburg, Alaska to advertise an antiques roadshow. I was approximately 10 years old.
