I have spent my working career in jobs that are front line customer service, which is key to being a receptive and responsive representative. I have spent the last few years organizing, connecting with voters, and building up other young voices, even before i decided to run for this office. I have been an advocate, a listener, and a doer.
I think the biggest thing at the moment is overall affordability. I think Indiana republicans have prioritized the wrong things, things that do nothing to help hoosiers be able to save, or have a moment to catch up. I will advocate for district 75 to have more affordability which can allow them to navigate a complex and rarely affordable or fair housing market. I think key will be providing grants for communities to help fund affordable housing and down payment assistance as a start.
Absolutely, the voucher program is only doing damage to our school systems, our educators and staff, and our students. Now, can we fight to end this voucher system, yes, but how quickly can we make that happen. I will fight for legislation to hold these schools accountable because they arent producing sufficient student graduation rates and score rates as our public schools, but they are taking more and more every year and it doesnt add up, and its not fair.
We need to cap utility hikes and remove the sales tax on utilites immediately. We need to utilize our budget surplus to make sure low income families, disabled hoosiers, and school age kids are at minimum, being put in dangerous scenarios of turning off their electric and heat, especially in our peak heat and our peak winter temps.
absolutely not. I agree we often have to pay on defense as democrats, but this is an issue that we need to just make sure we have fair maps, and stop gerrymandering.
No, i dont believe district 75 should be a test subject to see how a data center would effect a rural county like warrick, pike, or gibson. In a perfect world, if it was absolutely positive that it would create jobs, not have negative impacts on our environment and not have noise polution or hike our electric bills, then maybe it could be good for us. But the things i mention, cant be guaranteed right now, so between my thoughts, and what i hear from voters, no, there should be no data center here in district 75.

I bring more than 35 years of experience in business ownership and management, including both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. I have received paychecks, written paychecks, managed budgets, supervised employees, and experienced firsthand the challenges of running a small business. As a nurse practitioner and educator, I have learned to listen, evaluate evidence, solve problems, and make thoughtful decisions. My legislative experience has strengthened my understanding of state government and public policy. I bring a strong work ethic, common sense, independence, and a commitment to doing my homework, working with others, and putting people ahead of politics.
The Legislature can help address affordable housing by removing unnecessary barriers while encouraging responsible development and private investment. We should look at policies that increase the supply of starter homes, support rehabilitation of existing housing, and give communities flexibility to meet their own needs. We also need to consider the impact that property taxes, regulations, infrastructure costs, and rising construction costs have on both homeowners and builders. Government cannot simply mandate housing to be affordable. Our role should be to create an environment where communities, nonprofits, and the private sector can build and maintain housing that working Hoosiers can realistically afford.
I support accountability and transparency, but I think it is important to describe the program accurately. Choice Scholarship dollars follow the student, allowing parents, who pay these tax dollars, to choose the school they believe best meets their child's needs. Participating private and religious schools are not without oversight. Indiana requires these schools to be accredited, administer statewide assessments, report student performance data, and follow applicable state laws and regulations. I support reasonable accountability for taxpayer-supported programs while also protecting parental choice and recognizing that private schools should maintain the independence that makes educational choice meaningful.
The 2026 session made progress, but there is more work to do. I will continue advocating for reforms that better protect ratepayers, examine how financial risk and utility profits are structured, and pursue greater consumer choice. I have also spent considerable time educating the public about how Indiana's utility system works because informed citizens are empowered citizens. I believe meaningful change will require more than legislation being filed it will require people organizing and making their voices heard, much like Hoosiers did during the 2007 property tax movement. Lasting reform happens when informed citizens show up, speak up, and demand change.
I do not personally favor mid-cycle redistricting. I believe redistricting is best handled through the regular process following the census, providing consistency and predictability for voters. However, as a State Representative, I also have a responsibility to listen to the people I was elected to represent. When this issue came before us, I heard overwhelmingly from constituents in House District 75 who supported redistricting. While my personal position mattered, I ultimately believed my responsibility was to represent the clearly expressed wishes of my district. I was elected to give the people of my district a voice at the Statehouse, and on this issue, I honored that responsibility.
Data center development is primarily a local issue, and my role has been to educate and empower citizens so they can advocate for their community. If a data center comes, we need strong, enforceable protections to ensure it does not strain water or other resources, shift electric costs onto residents, create excessive noise, or leave an abandoned eyesore. There can also be benefits, including significant new assessed value and revenue that communities could use to benefit taxpayers. My goal is not to tell a community yes or no, but to make sure citizens understand what is at stake, speak up, and demand protections before agreements are made.
