Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My experience in advocacy, policy, and activism is about people power, not political power. Politicians exist to serve YOU- I want to help you demand good, hard work from your representatives, from neighborhood associations to the Governor’s mansion. I am policy and solution-oriented, and I will never make a decision without consulting with the people I am voted to represent.

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?

• Equity - Equity improves all policy. The County needs an equitable lens on tax assessment, tax disbursement, and regulations.
• Accountability - There is no accountability without accessibility and transparency. County officials have historically engaged in corruption out of public view.
• Community - Investment in resources reduces crime, promotes economic activity, and builds a sense of community.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I got my political start in LGBTQ+ policy and activism after being the first openly gay NCAA wrestler. In 2020, after serving as UMKC's student body president, I was one of the activists hosting Black Lives Matter protests. That experience taught me that activism means very little without policy change; after that, I became a policy liaison, working with many City Councillors to pass equitable and community-centered policy like recognizing AAPI Heritage Month in KC for the first time, creating a paid Juneteenth holiday for majority-black City staff, and various climate action issues.

Most of all, I am passionate about using policy to address inequities and move towards supporting every single person in Jackson County, including parents, children, houseless people, formerly incarcerated people, tenants, and all people that suffer due to lack of support.
