I'm a lifelong Iowan, attorney, small business owner, mother, and advocate who got tired of saying, "Someone should do something," and decided to step up and be that someone. For too long, politicians have focused on pet projects while everyday Iowans face real challenges. I'm ready to put PEOPLE first! Aren't you ready for that, too?
The decisions made in Des Moines affect every aspect of our daily lives, from the quality of our schools and healthcare to the strength of our local economy.
I'm running because I believe government should focus on solving problems, not creating them.
I'm running because I believe elected officials should do what they say and say what they do.
I'm running because I know that when we put people first, we can create a better future for Southeast Iowa.
Iowa was once recognized as one of the nation's leaders in education. Strong public schools helped build strong communities and created opportunities for generations of Iowans.
It's time to invest in our students, support our teachers, and restore Iowa's tradition of educational excellence.
Every Iowan deserves access to quality healthcare close to home.
From provider shortages to rising cancer rates, we face serious challenges that require thoughtful solutions, research, and leadership focused on improving the health of our communities.
Too many young people are leaving Iowa in search of opportunity elsewhere.
We need to support small businesses, attract new investments, strengthen rural communities, and make Iowa a place where families and professionals want to build their futures.
Iowa's greatest strength has always been its people.
Everyone deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to contribute to their community. We move forward when we focus on bringing people together rather than dividing them.
The future of Iowa won't be shaped by politicians alone.
It will be shaped by people who care about their communities, who believe in public service, and who are willing to work together to solve problems.
I believe in Iowa.
I believe in Southeast Iowa.
And I believe our best days are still ahead.
I would be honored to earn your support and your vote.
