I am proud to be Democratic nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District. At the heart of my campaign are the values that matter most to me: freedom, opportunity, and justice. I’m fighting for women's reproductive rights, workers' rights and collective bargaining, protecting and funding public education, and advocating for meaningful immigration reform.

I’m deeply worried about the state of the education system in my district. It breaks my heart that some students don’t have access to something as basic as a free, warm lunch if they need it. On top of that, student safety is an ongoing concern. Our schools should be safe havens where kids can thrive, not places where their well-being is compromised.

 “I go directly to the people. Our district is geographically the largest in the state. I travel to all 15 1/4 counties to talk to folks about the kitchen-table issues that matter to them. My votes will be based on the will of the people of the district; I will always come back to listen to constituents."

Throughout this journey, I’ve been proud to stand with lower and middle-income workers, which has led to endorsements from incredible organizations like the UMWA, AFGE, OAPSE AFSCME Local 4, AFSCME Council 8, Ohio AFL-CIO, Cincinnati Labor Council (CLC-AFL-CIO), IBEW 575, 317, 972 & 212, the Greater Cincinnati UAW CAP Council, USW 1, OPCMIA 132, Ohio Federation of Teachers, & Cincinnati Federation of Teachers. 

“I believe well-paying jobs must be brought back to our communities. Economic stability and growth will help diminish poverty, assist in ending the crippling opioid epidemic that affected so many rural areas, and provide our seniors with the opportunity to retire with dignity and security. With the relevant education and experience in rural outreach, relationship building, and rural advocacy, I am ready and qualified to initiate a rural revival in Congress. I can’t wait to start.”

My background is diverse—I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services (Ohio Christian University), and I’ve worked as a Membership Manager for the Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland, Medical Billing Supervisor, EMT-I, AmeriCorps Member, and Volunteer End-of-Life Companion. Now, I’m fully focused on this campaign, dedicating everything I have to representing the people of my district.

I will always fight for policies that support and uplift rural America.
