“Healthcare: Ensuring that all Kansans, especially those in rural areas, have access to quality, affordable healthcare is a top priority for me. I will advocate for expanding healthcare services in underserved areas, supporting mental health initiatives, and addressing the rising cost of care. Education and Youth Development: As a 4-H leader and someone who deeply values education, I am passionate about ensuring our schools are well-funded and that our teachers are supported.” (Ballotpedia)
“The first historical event I remember vividly was 9/11. I was 18 at the time, in my first year of college in Westchester County, just outside New York City. Many of my classmates had family in the city, including my own dad, and I remember the intense anxiety we all felt as communication shut down - no internet, no phones. In those first days, we were left wondering if our loved ones were safe. In the aftermath, my college quickly mobilized to help.” (Ballotpedia)
“I believe that a state ballot initiative process would be good for Kansas. This process empowers voters by giving them a direct say in important issues that affect their lives. It allows citizens to bring forward policies that might not be addressed by the legislature, ensuring that grassroots concerns are heard.” (Ballotpedia)
