Priority Issues:

Legalize and decriminalize marijuana, adopt a person-centered addiction recovery model for substance use disorders. Improve Common-sense gun regulation. Fair and inclusive state policies. Equitable education and economic stability for all. Environmental & climate justice to build a livable planet.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I have been working and serving in my communities and with families for over a decade. I can no longer watch Hoosiers struggle against an inequitable education system, a biased justice system, and a lack of safe and effective resources, and do nothing. I am committed to putting people over politics. I will represent and serve my communities with a bold and inclusive vision to bring about positive change and progress for the people of District 32 and for all Hoosiers.
