​

I have spent much of my adult life working as a public employee for the University of Montana, as well as working as a community advocate. I have worked to help university programs integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion practices into their faculty requirements, and I have worked with the city of Missoula, Montana to draft human rights legislation tailored towards making justice more accessible to people who have been discriminated against.

​

As your representative, I will fight for human rights—from voting rights to trans rights to working towards dismantling the cruelties of the prison-industrial complex. I will also work to address what I see as four of the big, interconnected areas where Montana is failing to adequately help its residents: housing inequality, health care, infrastructure, and climate change.
