Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm was raised in the rural Yuba County Foothills and heavily involved in forestry and natural resources during my education and since then.

I believe that the issues of the Sierra Nevadas and the foothills should be represented in Washington. Fires are raging, towns getting wiped off the map, water quality deteriorating in the rural areas, and not enough water is being stored.

As the Representative for the Sierra Nevada region, I intend to cut through the noise of partisan Washington DC and from those running for this position from the Sacramento Suburbs.

There are pressing matters in this region and I intend to speak into them, fight for them, and pragmatically work on solutions with my colleagues from California and Nevada, intentionally seeking out bi-partisan solutions.

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?

This district stretches from Lake Almanor to Death Valley and covers hundreds of miles of forest land

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

I think that compromise is an essential component of American Democracy. We've entered this era of partisanship where one party forces their agenda with no support from the other 50% of the country and it weakens the quality of legislation thats' passed.
