Why I’m Running!

I’m running for office because, as a proud 20 year resident of Blaine, I’ve seen firsthand what hard work and sacrifice look like. I proudly come from a family of Public Servants, Small Business Owners, and Military Personnel. Growing up, my parents worked every day and night to put food on the table and provide for us. Their tireless efforts taught me the value of perseverance and how much stronger our community can be when we look out for one another.

Those early lessons shape the way I approach politics today. I believe in representing not just the people who voted for me, but also those who didn’t. Our job as elected officials isn’t to push our own agendas or simply cater to the majority; it’s to listen, understand, and address the concerns of everyone in the community.

I’m running to change the conversation, to bring people together across divides, and to focus on the needs of all our residents. The hyper-partisanship we see today isn’t solved by division—it’s solved by sitting down, listening, and finding real solutions. That’s why I’m running—to fight for us and to ensure that every voice, whether loud or quiet, is heard and respected in our legislature.

Your support means everything to me. Together, we can build a stronger, more responsive government that truly represents the people of Blaine, Ham Lake, and Columbus.

Thank you for considering me as your next State Representative.
