Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a working mother, a union member, and someone who believes regular people deserve a seat at the table. I've spent my life standing up for my neighbors, coworkers, and my community because that's who I am. I'm running for the Missouri House because too many politicians have forgotten who this state belongs to. Missouri is built by working people, and it's time we had someone in Jefferson City who never forgets that.

I'm done with the political games and culture wars. This isn't a game to me—it's my life, my family, and my community. My kids are growing up here, and I care too much to sit on the sidelines.

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?

Working people deserve someone who has actually lived our lives. I know what it's like to work hard, worry about paying the bills, and fight for better because I've done it myself. I won't back down from powerful interests, and I won't forget who sent me to Jefferson City. I'll fight every day for workers, unions, and families who keep Missouri running.I'm tired of watching politicians ignore the people they were elected to serve. We vote. We speak up. We change our Constitution. They ignore us anyway. That billionaire agenda ends if I am elected.Great public schools. Being able to take your family to the doctor. Safe roads. Clean air, and water. A sky that isn't on fire. We don't just deserve those things—we've earned them.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Our campaign is focused on protecting workers, strengthening public education, supporting healthcare access for all, and making Missouri a place where families can afford to live, work, and thrive. I am running to bring practical leadership, honesty, and accountability to Jefferson City while ensuring every voice in District 8 is heard.
