Reason for Seeking Public Office:

As a lifelong resident of West Michigan, my inspiration to run for office originated from a strong desire to give back to my community.

The residents of Ionia and Barry Counties are hard-working people who deserve a hard-working representative. We're blessed with problem solvers who are undaunted by challenges.

We live with a true sense of collaboration, valuing personal responsibility and knowing that we can rely on our friends and neighbors. These qualities need to be transferred to the state level, and I would be honored to serve as the voice of the 87th District in Lansing.
