Campaign priorities: “I was born and raised in Nevada and grew up in a Democratic household that shaped my commitment to community and public service. For over 10 years, I have worked alongside students, families, educators, and administrators to support education in our community. That experience has prepared me to fight for working families who often feel unheard. I am committed to bridging the gap between everyday people and the legislative process by ensuring their voices are reflected in the decisions that impact their lives.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) Education: “I’m most passionate about the issues that affect everyday families such as education, affordable housing, economic opportunity, healthcare, and women’s rights. As an educator, improving our school system is deeply personal to me, but I also understand how connected these issues are. When families can’t afford housing or healthcare, it impacts everything, including a child’s ability to succeed in school. That’s why I approach policy with the whole family in mind.”

Campaign priorities: “I am running for Nevada’s Assembly District 2 because I believe that defending liberty and the American way of life is not optional. I will always stand for Nevadans, not special interests or misguided agendas.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Education: “Families supported by strong schools are the foundation for our children’s future. Parents should guide their children’s education. I will fight for school choice, so every family can find the best fit for their child. I will support our classroom teachers and ensure that taxpayer dollars go to learning, not wasteful overhead.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Jobs, wages & cost of living: “Nevadans deserve economic policies that let them control their future. I will fight for family first policies that empower job creation, wage growth, and support the realities of affording life for growing families.”
