If you’re anything like me, you’re still feeling the weight of the last election. For many of us here in Virginia, it was a season that brought out some hard truths about what’s happening in our communities. In 2023, I ran for a seat in a rural district and came just 183 votes short. Along the way, I sat with thousands of people on their front porches and in their kitchens, listening to their stories. It was through those conversations that I learned just how much people are struggling—and why I’m stepping up for the 41st House district with a fierce commitment to real change.
​
What I saw was more than frustration; it was a need for leaders who address everyday challenges—affordable homeownership and fair rental options, meaningful tax relief, accessible childcare, protecting reproductive freedom, and quality education. These are not just political talking points; they’re urgent needs that can’t be put off. I know these issues because I face many of them, too. Struggling has become a norm that none of us should have to accept. This journey has shown me that a future where we all thrive isn’t just a distant hope but a promise worth fighting for. So today, I’m inviting you to join me in creating a Virginia where every family, every community, and every individual has the chance to succeed.
Let’s build this future together.
