As a nonprofit director and advocate for children, I am proud to have won expanded access to pre-k, quality childcare, and evidence-based home visiting programs for new parents. Over four state budget cycles with Republican majorities in both legislative chambers, I successfully advocated for $100 million in new state funding. This required building relationships with dozens of legislators in our region, including those ideologically different than me. However, where we could find areas of agreement, I was always willing and eager to work together for the benefit of children and families.
