Those are not abstract policy areas to me - they are deeply personal, and they shape how I understand the responsibility of government to serve people with dignity, fairness, and competence. I'm also passionate about building a future worthy of the generations living here now and those yet to come.”
(Ballotpedia) “I look up to Walt Disney and Abraham Lincoln because both understood that leadership requires hope, vision, and the courage to build toward something better. Walt Disney was an innovator, an imagineer, and a coalition builder who believed in the possibility of a great big beautiful tomorrow. What I admire most about him was not just his creativity, but his ability to imagine a better future, inspire others to believe in it, and bring people together to make it real.”
(Ballotpedia) “The most important qualities in an elected official are accessibility, accountability, integrity, and a real commitment to service.

That means being accessible to constituents, listening seriously to their concerns, and being accountable for the decisions they make in office. I also believe integrity matters above all.”
