“I'm running to represent District 9 in the State House, because I believe strong schools and strong families are what make a Strong Springdale. Our community deserves a representative who is focused on us, not extreme policies that hurt our schools, businesses, and families.”
(Campaign website) “I'm the granddaughter of immigrants. My father was an English learner who served in the US Navy, and my mother grew up harvesting fruits and vegetables and became a housekeeping supervisor at our local hospital. Springdale is my home, and I have deep roots here.”
