Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I've spent my entire working career in retail, serving and working directly with people in our community. That experience taught me that leadership starts with listening and that real solutions come from understanding the everyday challenges people face.

I'm running for House District 30A to focus on three priorities: accountability, affordability, and accessibility. We need transparent leadership that answers to the people, practical steps to lower costs for working families, and a government that is accessible and responsive to everyone.

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?

I'm not running to play partisan politics; I'm running to serve. If you're ready for common-sense leadership that puts our community first, I'm asking for your support. Let's build a more accountable, affordable, and accessible Minnesota together.I'm running because I believe our country is heading in the wrong direction, and I want to be part of the solution. I attended my first caucus, and it inspired me to take action. Not only that, but I know many people share my views and concerns; together, we can make an impact and help drive the change we need.Our democracy is at its most vulnerable when we let extreme people set the policies. We are all neighbors, and we need to work together to find a compromise that works for all of us, rather than letting divisive politics dictate what our state is about.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Economic Policy, Public Health Policy, and Education Policy.
