Housing & infrastructure: ““I grew up right here on the South Side. This community raised me. I was homeless at 14, and today I help women find stable housing. I’m running for State Assembly to advocate for our community and the families who get left behind when politicians stop paying attention.””
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Campaign priorities & governance: ““This community raised me. I was unhoused at 14, and now I help house people for a living. I’m running to represent us because the South Side deserves steady, focused leadership - someone whose full attention is on delivering results for our community every single day.””
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I have lived the issues I will fight for. I was homeless at 14 and now help women find stable housing for a living. I know what it means to navigate systems that were not built for people like us. That perspective is missing in Madison, and it matters for how you write policy. I am not a career politician. I am a neighbor who understands the daily struggles of working families because I have lived them.”
