PRIORITIES
Your Story Matters.
The voices I hear in our community are not being heard at the State Capitol. That's why I'm running.

I grew up right here — an Edmond Memorial graduate who built her life, her family, and her career in this community. I've sat across the table from families navigating impossible decisions. I've seen what happens when the people making policy in Oklahoma City have never had to live with the consequences of those decisions.
This campaign isn't about my agenda. It's about yours.
When I knock on doors in HD 81, I hear the same things over and over: everyday is like a battle. Parents are worried about their kids' classrooms, small business owners struggling with rising costs, families stretched thin trying to care for aging parents. These aren't partisan issues — they're Edmond issues. They're Oklahoma issues. And you deserve a representative who will show up, listen, and advocate for change..
I know decisions made at the Capitol don't just shape policy — they shape our daily lives, our opportunities, and our future right here in Edmond. I'm running because working families deserve a seat at that table, and I intend to earn it.
Your Pay Should Go Further.
Oklahoma families are working harder than ever — and still falling behind.

One in five Oklahomans skip medical care because they can't afford it. That's not a statistic. That's your neighbor putting off a prescription. That's a parent deciding whether a fever is bad enough to justify a co-pay. No family should have to make that call.
Oklahoma is one of a shrinking number of states that has still not fully expanded Medicaid coverage to working adults — people who work full-time jobs but don't qualify for traditional Medicaid and can't afford private insurance. As the gap widens, lives are at risk and it costs our local economy. When people can't access preventive care, they end up in emergency rooms — the most expensive care possible — and those costs get passed on to all of us.
I'll fight to lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs, protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, and push Oklahoma toward a healthcare system that treats working families the same way it treats wealthy ones: like they matter.
Your Schools Need Support.
Oklahoma consistently ranks near the bottom nationally in per-pupil education funding.

Our teachers are some of the most dedicated people I know — and they are being asked to do more with less, every single year.
As a PTO parent and Girl Scout troop leader, I see this up close. I see teachers spending their own money on classroom supplies. I see school counselors stretched across caseloads that would be unmanageable anywhere else. I see kids who are falling through the cracks not because anyone failed them, but because the system doesn't have the resources to catch them.
Fully funding our public schools isn't a political talking point — it's an economic investment. States that invest in education have stronger workforces, lower poverty rates, and more competitive economies. Oklahoma can compete. But we have to choose to make the investment.
I'll push for teacher pay that reflects the value of what educators actually do, for support staff and mental health resources in every school, and for a funding formula that stops treating Edmond's classrooms like an afterthought. Our kids get one shot at a childhood education. Let's make it count.
Everyone Deserves Dignity.
People over 65 are the fastest-growing segment of our population — and our systems are not keeping pace.

I see this firsthand every day through LiveBetter at Home, the senior home care agency my husband Jeremy and I built from the ground up. We started LiveBetter at Home because we wanted to help seniors age in place. In our line of work we watch families navigate a patchwork of care — home health, home care,long-term care facilities, insurance denials, waitlists — with little guidance and even less support. It is exhausting. It is expensive. And too often, it falls entirely on the shoulders of adult children who are also working full-time and raising kids of their own.
Oklahoma ranks among the worst states for senior care access and affordability. Long-term care costs are rising faster than Social Security benefits. Medicaid reimbursement rates for the limited number of qualified agencies are so low that quality providers can barely stay afloat. And the result is that families who want to keep their loved ones home — safe, comfortable, and dignified — often can't.
I'll advocate for expanded home and community-based care options, fair reimbursement rates that keep quality providers in business, and stronger protections for seniors against predatory billing and care gaps. Because how we treat our oldest Oklahomans says everything about our values — and right now, we can do better.
