Let’s show up and stand together

I’ve spent the last 25 years working and volunteering as an advocate, community leader, and state legislator. I am passionate about building community, connections, and civic engagement in every aspect of my work. I’m proud to have fought for

  • Strong public schools
  • Reproductive freedom and maternal health care
  • Affordable and accessible childcare
  • Attainable homeownership and rent stabilization 
  • Economic development that priorities small businesses, entrepreneurship, good wages,, retirement security, and quality of life in every community across Iowa

I’ve always believed that good ideas can come from anywhere if you are willing to listen to understand, not simply to respond. Now, more than ever, Iowans deserve an honest conversation about the challenges and opportunities we face as a state. I am running for re-election because Ankeny residents deserve a representative who has shown up and built trusted partnerships here in our community and at the Capitol. I believe that our success as individuals is tied to our success as a state and to each other. 

So, let’s talk! Please reach out with questions and concerns. I’d be honored to earn your support and your vote for another term in the Iowa House.
