Why are you running for office?
I am running for office to ensure that all voices in the community are represented, not just a select few. As a mom, a homeowner, a public school parent, a public health scientist I believe I can represent our community and advocate for what we need.

How do we fix the partisan divide in our country and start working together again?
Stop gerrymandering.

Home Improvement. Tool-belt diva type of home improvement. I have laid tiles and built a pergola.

Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol. Yes this is what I read in my free time.

I am the proud mom of one daughter, who is a recent law school graduate and I have two rescue dogs. Unfortunately no talking houseplants. Would love to know where to get one.
