Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I'm running to represent the people of District 14 because I believe it's time to drive positive change in Pierre. For more than a decade, we have witnessed the Legislature become bogged down in contentious issues that only fuel the partisan divide and don't solve the state's real problems. We need to pursue policies with purpose and address the issues that really matter, such as education, healthcare, and the economy. As a legislator, I will listen to my constituents and focus on the bi-partisan issues they care about, the ones that will truly make their lives better.
