I think this American form of government is magical. It's a leap of faith to trust our neighbors to be co-creators of a society that works for everyone - Black and white, Native and immigrant, professional and blue collar, infant to elderly. The idea that we all get one and only one vote and that we can all step up to be leaders, it's radical. It's inclusive. It's risky. But it's also incredibly exciting.
Shane and I will celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary in June 2026. He is the Pastor of a church in Montgomery where I have found a second extended family. It's a community that is diverse, which means that Sunday School conversations are lively with disagreement and worship is led by voices of all kinds. I feel intensely lucky to have that kind of community.

In 2017, we adopted an 8 year old boy after fostering him for 2 years. I deeply value his privacy, so you won't hear a lot about him on the campaign. Trust me when I tell you he's a cool kid, and I can't wait to see what's ahead for him. I'm deeply passionate about foster care and adoption, and I continue to volunteer as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), serving families involved in the Child Welfare system in the River Region.
