Families & communities

Families & communities

The current representative, Jay Obernolte, is out of touch with the needs of the 23rd District. His focus on partisan politics is a disservice to the hardworking families in our community. I’m running to be a voice for my community, to ensure that every person, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.
