Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

In my six years working in the state legislature, I have witnessed our representatives make foolish decisions motivated by politics, not people or making sound public policy. I believe it is time to stop playing partisan politics and start seeking sensible solutions to real issues. I will represent the people.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (50 word limit)

I plan to work across party lines to craft sensible legislation that address the issues and my priorities. As a staffer, I studied the issues, learned possible solutions, collaborated with all sides, negotiated legislative language and worked to pass bills. I will continue to build on those successes and experience.
