I want to see Texas change for the better in the future. I was a HS science teacher and learned in public schools, but I have been homeschooling my two children since 2020. I've been a Type 1 Diabetic since childhood and have witnessed the cost of chronic, "pre-existing" conditions. I worked in environmental consulting and have a scientific background. I’ve volunteered as a precinct chair and talked to local voters about what they think is important. I have been a member of Moms Demand Action since the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde and have worked to make Texas safer from gun violence since then. I’ve volunteered as editor for our local neighborhood magazine. I have experience being a part of our community.I’m a wife and a mom to two daughters who’s lived in our district for over a decade. During that time, I’ve experienced hurricanes and severe local flooding, power grid failures, our public school system unable to fully support its teachers and students, my healthcare choices be limited, my husband’s career go on a roller coaster ride, and future opportunities for my children disappear. I’m mad that our current rep didn’t stand up for public schools last session the way he promised to, and I'm here to give people a choice when it comes to their representation since the Harless family has held this seat almost uninterrupted since 2007.I’m ready to fight and be the change for our district, and to make Texas a safer, smarter, stronger home for all of us!

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’ll pass laws about flooding in Texas: not building homes or other structures in floodplains; about the time between a warning from the NWS to when it’s communicated to people in flood-prone areas; require appointed people along the river who’ll be awake during a flood warning and respond appropriately. Second, every child in Texas deserves a free, fully funded public education. Teachers and staff shouldn’t buy their own basic supplies, and shouldn’t need a second job to stay afloat. We don’t need more guns in schools either—we need students’ basic needs met: with food, professional counseling services, and a safe and welcoming learning environment for every student, no matter their race, sexual orientation, learning style or ability.
