Now, I’m stepping up to run for State Representative in District 9 , and I’m asking for your support.”

Economy, jobs & cost of living: “It's not just WHERE you go to school, it's HOW and WHEN! Learn from those who have life experience. Not all of us are college material, we all have special sills and strengths. Do your research. There are plenty of people in the TRADES that may want to share their talents with you. Automobile technicians are in great need and you can even start your own business with the skills you can develop. Trade schools are a lot cheaper than college and you can get high paying jobs in the trades.”
(Campaign website) Abortion & reproductive rights: “With recent events in the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, I want to make it clear that abortion should remain safe and legal. I do believe that more efforts should go into preventing these situations such as better access to contraceptives.”
(Campaign website) Education & schools: “There I am below standing by the man in the cowboy hat! What a beautiful group of people. It's early spring in the Puritan-7 Mile area and we have all volunteered to help prepare and plant a community garden! Young and old, all ethnicities, rich, poor, educated and still learning! We are people. We didn't know each other but we became friends.”
