I share my story not because I seek praise, attention, or some spotlight — far from it. I’ve had enough of politicians who make public service about themselves, their ambitions, or their next headline. That’s not who I am, and that’s not what this is about. I open up about my own journey because I believe leadership begins with listening, with honesty, and with connection. I want to know your story — your struggles, your hopes, the conversations that happen around your kitchen table every night. I want to be present in your lives, not just during campaign season, but as a constant advocate, neighbor, and friend. I’m committed to being a voice for the voiceless, a defender of our shared values, and a fighter for the issues that matter most to working families, small business owners, and the backbone of our communities. This isn’t about me — it’s about us, and what we can accomplish together when we put people first.
