Reason for Seeking Public Office:

"I am running for state representative because I care about Clark County communities, families, and our children's future. I am running because I believe that future is compromised by partisanship, division, and blame. The conversations I hear about government right now have devolved into side issues that have very little to do with our everyday lives."
