“Working and middle-class families in this district are carrying too much, and property taxes are a big part of it. I'll fight for real relief by finding ways to lower property taxes, remove barriers to homeownership, and make sure seniors can afford to stay in the homes they've built their lives in.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “No family should have to choose between their health and their bills. I'll protect access to affordable, quality healthcare for every family in this district, and I'll stand up to the insurance and pharmaceutical companies that keep driving up costs.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “I've spent my career fighting for kids and families, and I know strong schools make strong communities. I'll push for more investment in things like mental health services, special education, and financial literacy, and I'll work to ease the burden of school funding on local property taxes without raising taxes on working families.”
