“At the end of the day, I believe most people want the same things: to be safe, to be prosperous, and to be left alone to live their lives. My approach has always been simple: listen carefully, ask the right questions, and reserve judgment until all the facts are known.”

“I'm a third-generation Bismarck resident, born and raised in the community I'm honored to represent. I was inspired to run for office in part by my grandma Audrey, who also served in the legislature and showed me the difference public service can make in people's lives. My faith and my family are foundational to who I am and guide much of my decision-making. I believe state government should work for everyday people, reflect their values, and focus on results. I try to bring that approach to the legislature by listening to people, solving problems, and finding common-sense solutions. It has been an honor to serve our community in this way.”
