I have spent my life turning setbacks into set-ups. Iowa can do the same.

I am running for Congress because I know that Iowa can be better — more about people and less about politics. I value hard work, respect, community resilience, and joy — and that’s what I'll bring to Congress.

As the parent of three school-aged children, I want to safeguard our state and our country’s future for future generations. In that spirit of caring for our communities, I will always support investments that strengthen our national security, improve public safety, and keep us safe. 
​
As a community activist engaged in healthcare advocacy, I know what it takes to work across the aisle to fight for the common good. I am the parent of a child with a disability, and after seeing inequities present to kids like him, I worked with partners across the political spectrum to raise over $1 million to build an accessible park in Cedar Falls so that every child can feel included. 
 
And I'm not just working at the local level. This campaign is already moving the needle in Washington. For years Ashley Hinson turned down my advocacy for vital breast cancer legislation. But the day we launched my campaign, Ashley Hinson changed course and co-sponsored the bill I fought for because she knows this is going to be a close race.
​
This campaign is about you. It's about your health, your families, and your communities. I know what it's like to have to fight systems that don't work for everyday Iowans, and that's why I'm running for Congress. With everyday community members writing the laws in Washington, we can build a government that truly works for us.
