I’m passionate about public education because of the value it has in teaching and molding our next generation and how the progress of our society depends on how we teach those that come after us.
My top priority for 2027 is the correction of our tax system to create a better balanced system that maintains services while easing burdens on our citizens. My first step to addressing this is to propose a graduated form of tax for businesses to protect small businesses while making sure the largest are paying into our state’s revenue.

Economics for citizens and lowering taxes, excellent health care and civil rights for all citizens no matter what gender, race or ethnicity.
Women's rights not being taken away from them, LGBT rights, lowering taxes, improving quality of life by guiding policies that make all these things possible. I will create recommendations and find ways to support the above with colleagues of the same aspirations as me.
