Bring commonsense to problem-solving and focus on results and accountability.

Supporting strong public schools, investing in infrastructure, planning responsibly for growth
I’ve knocked on tens of thousands of doors the past few years and I have heard over and over again about the affordability challenges families face. While this grew out of inflationary spending and has been compounded by conflict in the Middle East, I have focused on what we can do at the state level to give families relief. We have passed 7 bipartisan tax cuts, including the first property tax relief in 2 decades. We have passed bipartisan, historic funding for our schools. We have delivered critical dollars back to our communities. Both help local governments stave off property tax increases thanks to increased local investment. But we need to do more – a gas tax holiday, an income tax cut, and more to put more money in families pockets.Most Pressing Issue(s)
Facing Your District
The most pressing issues facing our residents is rising taxes, growing cost of living, and the need for safe communities. I strongly support public education and we must find a more sustainable and equitable funding model that reduces the burden on local taxpayers while still ensuring our schools have the resources they need to succeed. Affordability is another critical issue for all generations. Residents are struggling with everyday expenses. I will work to support policies that promote economic growth, strengthen small businesses, and provide tax relief where possible. Public safety, infrastructure, and environmental protections are also top priorities, ensuring future generations can enjoy the same quality of life we value today.
