Priority Issues:
"I believe that ensuring a dignified and stable standard of living and care for all is our baseline obligation to our fellow Montanans. Fully funding mental health services and quality education is a critical start, but we must also find creative ways to go beyond the bare minimum. As a legislator, I will work toward policies that honor our collective obligation to our children, families and elders like:
expanded health and mental health care, universal preschool, quality daycare for every Montana child, truly affordable higher education, protecting our public lands."
