I grew up on a buffalo ranch outside Lyons, Colorado, a place my family built from the ground up. When the 2008 financial crisis hit, feed prices soared while buffalo prices collapsed. Banks and wealthy investors were protected by the government, leaving families like mine behind.

That experience taught me early on that the system often favors the powerful over the people who actually make our communities thrive. I carried that lesson through St. Vrain Valley schools, Stanford University, and my work as vice chair of the Boulder County Democratic Party. I have seen how leadership, vision, and community engagement can create real change.

I am running for Colorado House District 19 to lower costs, strengthen public schools, and expand healthcare and childcare access. I do not take corporate or establishment PAC money. My campaign is focused entirely on delivering results for the people who live here.

Donald Trump and his allies are attacking our democracy, civil rights, and communities. I will fight to protect Colorado from federal overreach, defend every Coloradan’s rights, and stand up to political attacks on our families and values.

I am ready to be a voice for our future, a legislator who listens, acts, and fights for a Colorado where everyone a real chance to thrive.
