Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a mother, a spouse, and a proud blue-collar worker. I’m also a community advocate—and above all, an everyday West Virginian. I’m running for House of Delegates in District 44 to represent all West Virginians, not just the well-connected few. I know what it’s like to work hard, stretch a paycheck, and worry about making ends meet—because I’ve lived it. I have a long record of standing up for what’s right: defending civil rights, demanding transparency in government, fighting utility rate increases, and pushing back against systems that leave working families behind. These aren’t just issues to me—they’re realities that impact our daily lives.
