Priority Issues:
We need to make housing affordable for young professionals and families and also for those working in low-wage jobs who need to live in the communities where they work. Our communities are aging more quickly than any other region in the state. We must support our younger adults and families so that they can help us sustain a vibrant and successful economy.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
My breadth of experience, and that which I gained while working in the state legislature, will serve me well should you decide to return me to Concord as your Representative from Carroll County District 7.
