“I'm a third-generation South Dakotan, born and raised in Rapid City. Before serving in the Legislature, I spent more than a decade as an educator. I went from the classroom to the Capitol because I saw firsthand how decisions made in Pierre affect our schools, families, and communities. I bring that same teacher mindset to the Legislature: listen, ask questions, do my homework, work with people who may not always agree with me, and stay focused on practical solutions. I'm continuing to fight for stronger schools, affordable child care, lower costs for working families, and clean water and a protected Black Hills.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “Before serving in the Legislature, I spent more than a decade teaching middle and high school biology and computer science. I bring that teacher mindset with me to Pierre: listen, ask questions, do my homework, and work with people who may not always agree with me. I believe good government should be practical, transparent, and focused on solving problems. I'm proud to bring my experience as an educator to the Capitol and to be someone District 32 can count on to show up, listen, and work hard on their behalf.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “In the legislature, as an educator and former teacher, I'll engage with local leaders, teachers, and youth servicers to make sure they're equipped for developing the next generation of individuals who power our business community.”

“Rapid City families are working harder and keeping less. Groceries, rent, and gas climbed while paychecks stayed flat. I will fight to lower the cost of living, not the standard of living. That means backing the small businesses on Main Street that hire our neighbors, cutting the red tape that slows them down, and keeping South Dakota a place where a young family can afford to put down roots. A strong economy is not a talking point. It is whether you can cover the month and still save for your kids. That is the test I bring to every vote in Pierre.”
