28 years teaching history and government, how democracy rises, falls, and how people make the difference.
Now it’s time to use my teacher voice in the halls of Congress.
History is watching and silence won’t do

Built my campaign website this weekend. Trial and error, late nights, and a few lost pages along the way. It isn’t perfect, but it’s real. I’ll keep improving it, hoping people see my heart and desire to serve. Like democracy, it can be messy but worth the fight.

🚨Republicans and Democrats have come together with a plan to extend the ACA Tax Credit and keep health care costs from skyrocketing.
Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

This made my day! No Kings Rally in Carson City. Thank you guys for the support. Together we're building a movement that says we want representation that shows up and stands up the people of Nevada. Shout out to Mark Proffitt for showing up!

We saw Wells, Elko and Winnemucca today, before arriving in Carson City. We saw where railroad workers connected our country, ranchers kept us fed and miners grew our nation’s treasury. Rural towns aren’t just pitstops along the highway, they’re the heartbeat of our economy.

Recording this episode with Mary Beth Tinker and Elizabeth Evans was a DREAM! We discuss teaching and protecting free speech in the classroom. Give it a listen!

Thank you, Carson City Dems, for a great evening of conversation and community. It was an honor to speak with you, and just as important, to listen, learn, and hear what matters most to you.

First stop on the Home Means Nevada tour is Wells, Nevada.
A town that knows how to survive. Fire once tried to destroy this small ranching and railroad town. The people rebuilt.
That resilience still defines Wells today.They preserve their history while building a future rooted in strong work ethic

Every student deserves a safe and welcoming classroom to learn and grow. But if the heat doesn't work in the winter, or the roof is leaking in math class, it's tough to focus on learning. Investing in infrastructure is essential. @AFTCT.bsky.social www.courant.com/2025/12/10/c...

Some great words of wisdom today. Democracy demands accountability. It requires not just voter engagement but voter education! It was a great honor and privilege to listen to these two brothers and then get to talk with Prof. Hasan Jeffries

Busy, productive day in DC today, meeting, listening, learning. One day, I plan to walk into this building not as a visitor but as the voice for Nevada’s 2nd District. Our kids, our families, our rural communities deserve someone who shows up, listens, and works for them.

I realize my posts here are not-so-much about #Genealogy.
But this is a CRISIS in our beloved country and world.
Honoring my ancestors and family history by staying informed and involved is the right and most important thing to do, given this situation.

Winnemucca, thank you for the conversation and for welcoming me into your community. From seniors in high school to seniors in the community, you brought honest questions and real concerns about the economy, access to affordable health care, protecting Social Security, and more.

Thank you, North Washoe Dems, for the job interview. I appreciate the chance to introduce myself and share why I’m running to represent this district. I loved hearing your stories, answering your questions and feeling that sense of community in the room. I’m looking forward to doing it again soon.

Time to get big money out of politics. People shouldn’t need a bag of cash just to be able to compete for a job and they certainly shouldn’t be expected to “pay dues” once they get the job
I’ll work for the people not the machine!
