I am running as a voice for the people of my district. I grew up on a farm so learned the value of hard work and the importance of agriculture at an early age.
  • My first area I want to take is mental health care. We need more beds and more counselors. I will use my skills to help give a voice to those clients in Des Moines.
  • My second area is education. As a teacher I see the need to develop relationships between students, parents, educators and businesses. I would encourage trade school programs and apprenticeships.
  • My third area is criminal justice. I would like to keep the highways safe from sex trafficking. This means more training for officers and more public awareness.
Right now I currently look up to Joni Ernst and Governor Kim Reynolds They are strong women in leadership positions and do a great job standing their ground
I like to be known for helping others to be successful and live a better life
My first job was working in a restaurant I did this all the way through high school I thoroughly enjoyed talking to people
I collect Nancy Drew books
Any detective really I love detective stories maybe Agatha Christie or Hercule Peroit
Sound of silence by Disturbed 9/11 Tribute it's an amazing video
No I believe life experience in certain areas can be very valuable on whatever committees they serve on
Mental health care

Continued job growth

Current one is getting through the COVID19 crisis
That the governor is aware of how each chamber operates and works together with the senate and House to pass appropriate legislation
Yes I think it is good to have friends in both house and senate so the two can work together to get things passed and so they know what is being worked on
