Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a fifth-generation Kansan, business owner, advocate, and Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. I am running because I believe hardworking Kansans deserve a proven leader who shows up, listens, and works for them.

Throughout my career, I have focused on strengthening Kansas communities and growing the state’s economy. As Kansas Director for the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development, I oversaw major investments in businesses, infrastructure, housing, and healthcare projects across the state while also leading a nationwide effort to cut red tape and make federal programs work better for the people they serve. Through my work in both the public and private sectors, she has helped generate billions of dollars of economic impact in Kansas.

I believe Kansans are uniquely equipped to tackle tough challenges because they do not quit. As a fifth-generation Kansan, wife, and mom, I carry a deep sense of responsibility to the generations who built the state and to the families who will inherit it. My campaign for the Senate is rooted in that belief: that Kansas deserves leadership grounded in service, accountability, and the promise of a government that truly works for the people.
