| Collapse all
I am your everyday person. I like to go to the orchard and farmers markets to get fresh fruit. I emotion spending time playing with my kids.
- I want to be the voice for the everyday people. The ones who aren't being heard currently.
- I stand with my LGBTQIA+ family and want to make sure they ALL have equal rights to straight, cisgendered people
- I am very pro choice and feel NO ONE has the right to tell someone what to do with their bodies. That includes vaccines.
Universal Healthcare! I feel like Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Housing the homeless is another huge thing for me.
Who do I look up to? My mom. She's strong and kind and took care of us kids and is absolutely my hero.
Being the voice for their constituents
Desert storm. I was 6. My uncle was in the military and I remember him leaving for war.
I worked at Schnucks in the floral department for 3 years
Living paycheck to paycheck. Choosing between a prescription and paying a bill. That's why I want to be the voice for the lower and middle class constituents.
The house of Representatives was originally meant to be made up of everyday people. We need to get the life long politicians out of congress
The division caused by right wing propaganda
I would personally prefer 3 years.
I encourage term limits for house, senate, and scotus
I'm my own person and no one has ever spoke for the lower and middle class people. I want to be that voice. I also will never let my vote be bought.
You have to be able to communicate and compromise across the aisle to get anything done
