Economy, jobs & cost of living: “Personally, social service is an area I am passionate about. I would like to see homeless rates decline. More aging and disability services to help the elderly and ID/IDD and autistic communities. LGBTQ equality is important to me. Affordable housing has become hard to obtain in this area, a solution is necessary. I am passionate about the environment and energy. I would like to see clean energy sources increase throughout the state and my district. Biodegradable plastics become more widespread, if the use of plastic has to exist.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
Energy, environment & water: “I am a single mother of 2 adult children. I have a passion for the Human Services, specifically ID/IDD and Autism. I love nature and support finding cleaner sustainable resources for energy.” (Campaign website (via Ballotpedia))
