Education
As a school board member, I’ve worked to protect parents’ voices, ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed and I have strived to be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. I have seen what happens when leaders listen, work collaboratively, and stay grounded in the community they serve. That is the type of leadership I will bring to Congress.
Education
My commitment is simple: to take the same servant-leadership approach to Congress that I brought to our schools — fighting for safe neighborhoods, quality education, and a strong economy that gives every family the chance to build a better future.
Priorities
I am running for Congress because we deserve leaders who put service above politics and solutions above headlines. In a time when Washington is consumed by partisanship and gridlock, I’ve proven that real leadership means listening, working with everyone and getting things done.
Priorities
I know what families in our district are facing: rising costs, public safety concerns, and a government that too often forgets who it works for.
Priorities
I am running because I believe in America and in the potential of this district. We deserve a representative who understands the people they serve, not someone loyal to Washington insiders or extreme partisan agendas.
