Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"The truth is I didn't plan to run for office this year.
I wanted to enjoy the early stages of motherhood with my first baby. However, the news coming from Washington continues to get worse with President Trump feeling emboldened in his corrupt and authoritarian behavior. With the complicit behavior of Republicans in Congress, there is real concern about the future of our democracy and our country.
I want my child and his generation to have the same opportunities and feelings of hope for a bright future that I did.
I am running to fight for their bright future."
