My goal is to empower parents with choices and to provide students with diverse educational opportunities. I am dedicated to an education system that caters to the needs of every child, ensuring that our students have the necessary resources and support to thrive. I have and will always support raising our hard working teachers' pay. They need us to have their back and I am proud to have theirs.

Ensuring the safety and security of our citizens while upholding our constitutional rights remains a top priority in my legislative efforts.
Expanding Access to Quality Healthcare
Ensuring access to affordable, quality healthcare is a cornerstone of my policy efforts. I proudly supported the repeal of the Certificate of Need law, which has been a significant step in reducing healthcare costs and eliminating unnecessary barriers to care. My dedication to healthcare does not end here; I am committed to advocating for policies and initiatives that further enhance healthcare accessibility for all my constituents.
Supporting Our Heroes
Our veterans and first responders have made immense sacrifices for our freedom and safety. I have always recognized the importance of honoring their service by securing funding for healthcare improvements and facilities.
