I bring more than 16 years of experience working on political campaigns and advocating for issues that directly affect families. Through my work in community advocacy, I have championed better public transit, affordable housing, reproductive freedom, and voting rights. In addition, my background includes a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and a Master of Public Administration, providing me with both practical political experience and a strong understanding of public policy. I am committed to listening to constituents, building coalitions, and working toward solutions that improve the lives of everyday Kansans.
Public Education: Kansas students deserve fully funded public schools. I support restoring full funding for special education and ensuring schools have the resources they need to educate every student. We should be investing in our schools, teachers, and students rather than shifting additional costs onto already-stretched districts.
Affordability: Too many Kansans are struggling with rising costs for healthcare, transportation, housing, and everyday necessities. I support expanding Medicaid to reduce healthcare costs, exploring ways to ease the burden on working families.
Voting Rights: A strong democracy depends on accessible elections. I oppose efforts that make it harder for eligible Kansans to vote.
Government works best when people can easily understand what their elected officials are doing. I support expanding access to bill information through plain-language summaries. As a legislator, I would also use my website and constituent newsletter to highlight important legislation and provide links to publicly available bill trackers and legislative resources so constituents can stay informed and engaged.
I believe the "gut and go" process should be subject to greater transparency. Any bill that is substantially rewritten should clearly identify what has changed, provide side-by-side comparisons of the original and amended language, and be subject to a meaningful public review period before final passage.
I support restoring the three- day grace period for mail ballots and ballot boxes. These measures work against people who live in rural areas and make it less convenient overall for people to vote.
