I was born in Portland, Oregon and will be 42 on Election Day. I am running to represent Senate District 41 in Helena, where I live with my husband, extended family, and our two kids who attend Jefferson Elementary School. I was the first in my family to go to college and found a home in Carroll College. It was in this community that I found the support and opportunity to become an attorney and build a career in public service. I have served in many professional roles and worked on a broad range of issues, including conservation, rural development, and legal services. I am working to earn your vote because I know this community, share its challenges, and I bring the experience, knowledge, and working relationships to get results for SD 41.
I expect affordability to be a major focus of the 2027 Legislature, along with protecting the basic systems families rely on, including public education, housing, and clean water. Our priorities are set in Montana’s Constitution, and we have to deliver on them. Good policy starts with a balanced budget that reflects Montana values, because the budget determines whether we invest in schools, keep communities healthy and safe, and stop shifting costs onto working families. As a working mom, attorney, and advocate, I am used to balancing multiple priorities, identifying risks early, and communicating the real value of public investments so we govern for future opportunity, not scarcity.
I am facing many of the same economic pressures as the voters I talk to. Our insurance premiums went up 23% in 2025, and I hear every day from families worried about school quality, housing costs, rent, and whether their jobs will still support a stable life. Addressing this starts with a tax system that keeps more money in the pockets of working families, not one that keeps rewarding those at the top while starving community needs. On healthcare, we need to reduce bureaucracy that pushes eligible people off Medicaid, strengthen consumer protections against unfair medical bills, and push for stronger oversight and negotiation to lower costs wherever the state has leverage.
Montana should keep elections secure and make voting easier for eligible voters. That means strong voter education, accessible vote-by-mail, and rules that facilitate rather than impair access. We already have strong systems in place, and we need to protect them. If Montanans pass stronger transparency measures to reduce the influence of corporate and dark money, the Legislature should respect that decision and defend the integrity of the process. I’m running a grassroots campaign because disinterest and apathy are among the greatest threats to democracy. We need to rebuild local organizing infrastructure and earn voters’ trust through direct contact and real accountability.
