We need a representative who answers to the people — not the system.

I had a 15-year journalism career highlighted by exposing corrupt government officials and the wasteful systems they oversee, writing stories that lead to meaningful change for Kansans. 

That experience showed me not just what’s broken, but how to fix it. 

And I am accountable to our community, where I show up daily as a volunteer with several nonprofits, including working with teens through different youth ministries.

It's because of my heart to serve, experience exposing corruption and answers to fix our broken system that I am the only candidate endorsed by community leaders, including several Newton pastors. 

My heart is to serve; my desire is to right the wrongs. 

I recently ended my six-year stint at The Wichita Eagle and took a job I felt called to do, working with youth in our community. 

I’m running because career politicians won’t fix the problems they created.  It's up to us --- public servants and not self-serving politicians --- to fix things. 

Send me to Topeka, and I’ll go to work for you — not special interests. And I’ll serve with integrity, including a self-imposed term limit, because public office should be about service, not a career.

Thank you for considering me to be your representative,
