Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I'm running because I care about our community. For the past 20 years I have lived, worked and volunteered to bring people together and make our neighborhoods even better.

From my professional and volunteer experience, I have always sought to make a positive impact in the lives of my neighbors. Simply put, I am running for office because I care about my community and I want to make it better for everyone.

Representing an area where dropout rates are among the highest in the state, education will be my top priority in the Utah State Legislature. In particular, my prioritieswill be improving graduation rates and closing the achievement gap. Secondly, I will work to improve the access to quality, affordable health care options for all Utahns. Third, I will focus on issues of the environment. Lastly, as I will represent one of the most diverse districts in Utah, I will advocate for our communities of color, our LGBT community, and our working families.
