We’re All in this Together
Our lives aren’t centered on what political party we belong to. We’re focused on our families and our jobs, and having a community that’s a safe and enjoyable place to live. And that’s been my focus in the Senate.

More Than Just My Vote
Informative, Transparent, and Accessible
As a State Senator, I believe I should be more than just my vote:
Thank you for allowing me to represent you as your State Senator. Thank you for sending me back to the Senate for a second term to further these efforts. In return, I renew my commitments to you. I’ll continue to listen and respond to you, my constituents. I’ll continue to work with legislators on both sides of the aisle and with people who have all points of view. And I’ll do my best to continue representing you well as your state senator.

Informative, Transparent, and Accessible
As a State Senator, I believe I should be more than just my vote:
- I’ve kept a promise to help inform my constituents with full transparency with regular and special nonpartisan town halls in our district. Every month, there are several opportunities for people to come to my town halls and listen to updates on specific bills and the legislative process.
- We’ve conducted several jobs and business start-up workshops to help job seekers and budding entrepreneurs wanting to start their own businesses.
- For small businesses, I coordinated with my Human Resources colleagues to present workshops for employers on how to legally hire, promote, and terminate employees.
- This year, we held a Safety Fair and a Seniors and Veterans town hall where people were able to learn about the free resources in our community and state.
- And all four years, I’ve offered and brought in many constituents to the Senate Chamber to see the process first-hand. After all, it is the people’s building and the people’s process.
