I am running to ensure every voice is heard, every family has opportunity, and government works for people. Change starts locally.
I'm not a fan of PAC's but if they are going to be around, might as well fight fire with fire.

Tariffs cost the average household an additional $1,000 last year, and it’s expected to go up this year. Tariffs are taxes on Americans.

Change starts locally, and every voter deserves a real choice.

Indiana has seen a generation of one party control, and we are still fighting for strong schools, affordable healthcare, and financial transparency. That is why I am running.

It is time to listen to people, not party platforms.

Lawmakers are proposing to remove the Natural Resources Commission, a long-standing body that allows public input on natural resources decisions. This is another statehouse development we need to keep an eye on in this session.

Good news. Lawmakers say the provision in HB 1333 allowing large developments on certain farmland without rezoning or public input will not move forward. Local voices made a difference, and I’ll keep watching how this affects our district.

Data centers bring opportunity and real infrastructure costs. Water, power, roads, and public safety all matter. Local governments need clear rules upfront so growth pays its own way and communities have a voice. This is a practical local issue.

Thank you for the messages, encouragement, and thoughtful notes after my announcement this week. I’m grateful for the support, and even more grateful for the conversations already starting. I’m listening.

The Indiana House recently passed a bill allowing large projects like data centers and solar farms to move forward on farmland even if the soil is considered poor and without public hearings or community input.

Big changes are coming to how local income taxes are set in Indiana. Starting in 2027, rates will be reestablished and the decisions will affect what people pay in 2028. These choices won’t impact every community the same. Process matters.
