I grew up in a rural area with access to forests, farmland, and rivers. This inspired a great love of nature in me, which was nurtured by my grandfathers. I always knew politics was a way to make positive change, but I never thought I would be doing this. My focus was on conservation biology; however, after the 2024 election I knew I couldn’t stand by and do nothing. I was just raised to believe that I owe it to the world to make a difference somehow.
Here's how we are going to improve the lives of the citizens of the the 68th:
Sustain the Environment: As a marine biologist my priority will be protecting our beautiful landscapes and waterways for future generations to inherit and enjoy.
Support Local Economy: We must encourage local economic opportunities within the District. Ones that keep the profits within the community while offering a livable wage.
Protect Equal Rights: Virginians have fought for many generations for civil rights and we cannot go backwards. We must continue to make equal rights, women’s rights, and LGBT+ rights a priority.
Promote Education: Our educators and students work so hard and it’s important to provide them the funds and resources they need - including rural high speed internet.
Recent actions taken at the federal level puts all this at risk. The 68th District needs an active voice in Richmond that will stand up for our environment, economy, education, and rights when they are threatened.
