“I’ve had many personal struggles and tragedies. Those moments changed me. They made me tougher, more grounded, and a lot more aware of what people carry that you can’t always see.

“The first major historical event I remember is the Oklahoma City bombing. I was at in gym class. It was a defining moment for our state and showed both the deep tragedy our community experienced and the incredible strength and resilience that followed.

It shaped my belief that even in the hardest moments, strong communities and compassionate leadership matter most.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
