I'll be on the ballot for Idaho House DistricT 16B on May 21st.

My goal is straightforward:

to work towards an Idaho that benefits everyone, not just a select few.

My role as an elected official will always be rooted in community. I often say I'm not running to be a politician. I'm running to be a representative. I am here to listen and serve as a voice for every constituent.

The hurdles Idaho faces are collective. They affect every one of us in some way—be it through housing, education, healthcare, or the economic landscape. With a focus on creating opportunities for all, I am committed to solutions that create progress and possibility.

Key Issues

The issues I tackle are informed by our collective concerns and ideas, with an unwavering commitment to human rights.

Through this lens, I will focus on economic security, public education, bodily autonomy, and issues that impact our youth.

Economic Security

I will work to remove financial obstacles for Idahoans, enabling them to achieve stability, pursue opportunities, and plan for their future. Everyone should have the chance to succeed.

Initiatives:

  • Fair & affordable housing to ease financial stress

  • Post-secondary options that lead to better pay & minimal-to-no debt

  • Equitable and accessible healthcare options

Public Education

I will focus on championing public education to build a strong foundation for Idaho's future. It's essential that we invest in education to provide every child with the opportunity to succeed.

Initiatives:

  • Fully funding our public schools, keeping our schools safe & functional

  • Improve teacher salaries & training to attract and retain the best educators

  • Mental health services in schools to support students and teachers

Bodily Autonomy

Abortion is healthcare. Gender-affirming care is well-researched, medically necessary, life-affirming care. Healthcare is a human right, and related decisions should be between Idahoans and their providers.

Initiatives:

  • Repeal current abortion ban laws and act against any new attacks

  • Add gender identity & sexual orientation to Idaho Human Rights Act

  • Advocate for inclusive policies that reflect the diversity of our community

Civic
youth

I will actively involve young people in the legislative process. I will advocate for climate action, robust voting rights, and sensible gun legislation, giving them a role in shaping the world they will inherit.

Initiatives:

  • Climate action to safeguard our planet for coming generations

  • Ensure legislation strengthens young people's voting access and rights

  • Organize forums where young people can discuss and influence policy
