Get StartedI support legislation that makes teaching degrees more affordable, accessible, and desirable to attract educators from underrepresented backgrounds to consider teaching as a career - particularly in math and science. Learn more

Fully fund our public schools to provide a world-class education for our kids. Learn more
Since 2025, we have seen the results of what our current representatives have voted for: tax incentives for data centers. I will legislate by listening to the people of my district before passing legislation that would significantly impact their daily lives. We must protect our community and environment from the pitfalls of large-scale data centers with legislation that prioritizes our people and natural resources first. Learn more
We must reduce premium costs and protect funding for rural hospitals across Kentucky. Medicaid budgeting must be protected. I would investigate opportunities for medical debt relief so that patients do not accrue overwhelming debt from a medical issue. I will support legislation to ensure that all Kentuckians can afford and have close proximity to preventive screening tests such as mammograms and other cancer screenings. Learn more
