(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities & governance: “In response to this crisis, I feel called to do my part as an American citizen and work to ensure my daughters grow up with the same rights and opportunities I did. Political engagement for me will be running for public office and along the way I hope to encourage and inspire others to find their own form of citizen engagement.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Healthcare & reproductive rights: “I take great pride in my role as the provider for my family and I understand the urgent drive of a parent to ensure a good life for their children. I also know what it’s like to work for tips. I’ve experienced the stress and anxiety of daily life without any health insurance. I know firsthand the soul-crushing indignity of filing for unemployment.”
