Priorities
As a nurse, educator and community advocate, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when families are left behind and political insiders put themselves first. I’m running for State Representative to make sure people are at the center of every decision, and to deliver practical solutions that help our community thrive.
From lowering household costs and strengthening our public schools, to making healthcare accessible and fair, protecting everyone’s rights and voices, and building honest, accountable government, these are the priorities that matter most to our community.

How Can This Be Done?
Big goals need real solutions. Here’s how we can make these priorities a reality:
​
-
Change the tax system to work for people, not just corporations: I will work to close loopholes and end special tax breaks for big corporations and the ultra‑wealthy, so we can invest in schools, healthcare, and lowering costs for families, without raising taxes on everyday people.
-
Crack down on price gouging and corporate greed: By advancing strong laws against unfair price hikes on essentials like groceries, gas and prescription drugs, I will work to provide real relief to families and hold powerful interests accountable.
-
Ensure transparency and accountability in government: I support public reporting of all campaign donations and state spending, so taxpayers know exactly where their money is going and leaders answer directly to voters.
-
Put people first in every decision: Whether it’s education, healthcare, or public safety, I will make policy by listening to the community, not lobbyists or special interests.
