State House floor vote on Insulin Copay Bill
I’m running because I believe our community deserves strong schools, affordable healthcare, and honest, transparent government that works for everyday people — not the rich and powerful. As a public school teacher, I see every day how decisions made in Frankfort affect real families, and I want to make sure those decisions work for the people who live here.
As a teacher, I know strong schools depend on proper funding, support for educators, and services for students with disabilities. I will advocate for policies that support teachers, strengthen special education, and make sure schools have the resources they need to help every student succeed.
Access to healthcare is critical in rural communities. I support strengthening rural clinics, protecting local hospitals, and ensuring healthcare providers have the resources they need to serve patients close to home. I’ve worked to lower healthcare costs, including supporting the insulin copay cap, and I will continue to advocate for policies that keep rural clinics open, expand access to care, and make healthcare more affordable for families.
A strong local economy starts with working families and small businesses. I support policies that create good jobs, keep money in our local communities, and help small businesses grow without unnecessary red tape. I believe in investing in education and workforce training, supporting local employers, and making sure the economy works for everyday people — not just the wealthy or well-connected.
Tariffs can raise prices for Kentucky families, farmers, and small businesses. When costs go up, local people feel it first. I believe trade policies should protect Kentucky jobs without making everyday life more expensive for the people who live and work here.
Before running for State Representative, I worked directly with state legislators and understand how laws are written, debated, and passed in Frankfort. I know how committees work, how bills move, and how to advocate effectively for our district — not just talk about it.
That experience matters. It means I can get to work on day one, focus on real solutions, and make sure our community has a voice at the table.
I’m not running to learn on the job.
