I'm running for State Representative because the people of our district deserve good public schools, lands for hunting, farming and public use that are free of pollution, healthcare that is affordable and accessible, digital privacy, and equal civil rights and liberties for all. We deserve a representative in Columbus who will be a vocal advocate fighting to make our lives better, both in the present and for our future generations.
I grew up in rural New York, the daughter of two public school teachers from a strong union family. Public service and advocacy for others has always been important to me: from writing to the governor in the fourth grade, to tutoring in after-school programs throughout college, and now as the president of the Cleveland Stonewall Democrats. As the mother of a small child, I've found myself called to step up and do even more to make the world better so all of our children have a better world to grow up in.
