Dear Friends,

I was born in Nebraska and have lived in District 21 for most of my life. And, just like my neighbors, I value the quality of life we’ve come to appreciate in our state. 

I grew up understanding the importance of public service. My father is a US Air Force Veteran and a retired postal worker, and my mother retired after 34 years of teaching in Lincoln public schools. Throughout my life, I’ve demonstrated my commitment to service as a member of the Nebraska Air National Guard, as a health and human services professional, and as an active community volunteer. 

I’ve dedicated my personal and professional life to standing up for what I believe in and using my voice to advocate for others.  As your Legislator, I will work to ensure that everyday, hard-working Nebraskans continue to be represented in the decisions made by our state. I will listen, learn and make objective decisions.  I will work for compromise when it’s appropriate, and I will stand and fight when it’s not. I will put people before politics.

I thank you for your interest in my campaign, and I would appreciate your vote in May 2008.
