Why I'm Running

I’m running to give back to the COMMUNITY that shaped me. I was raised in Weber County by a single mother who taught in our public schools, and today my husband and I are raising a blended family of five young adults. I know the challenges families are facing — rising costs, stretched schools, and growing pressure on our air, water, and the Great Salt Lake. Too often, people feel unheard.

I’m running to put our COMMUNITY first.
