I'm a mom who decided to stop waiting. Stop waiting for someone to care. Stop waiting for someone to listen. Stop waiting for someone to run. I decided to take action. I ran for assembly in 2024, became co-chair of our county party and co-chair of the DPW Disability Caucus.  I canvassed listened to the stories of my neighbors, of struggling farmers and families. I talked with daycare owners and adults caring for their aging parents. I Went to budget and listening sessions and met with our state and federal legislators. I can tell you, we shouldn't have to fight for common sense things like quality public schools, clean water and good healthcare. Our tax dollars pay reps and elected officials who refuse to represent us, putting corporations before families, farms and small businesses. That's just not right. I am running for state assembly because it's time to get back to us. Good jobs, safe schools, quality healthcare, affordable childcare and a thriving economy. All within our reach once we decide enough is enough and put people in office that know how to get things done and care about us.
