I’m running because working families in Eastern Washington deserve honest representation – not a legislature full of people who’ve never had to choose between groceries and a doctor’s visit. I’m a Certified Peer Support Specialist, trauma recovery coach, mother of six, and grandmother. I have lupus. I raised neurodivergent children largely alone. I’ve navigated every system I’m running to fix. My priorities: paycheck protection, rural healthcare access, and closing the revolving door between lobbyists and our legislature. No corporate PAC money. No lobbyist donations. My vote belongs to LD-9.
