Accessible

My goals every day are to be open-minded and accessible and to find common ground. I've built relationships with community and state leaders and other lawmakers to forge solutions on a range of issues.

Communication with constituents is very important to me. Along with my seatmates, we've held dozens of public forums in the district and sent out weekly email newsletters during each session.

If you want to discuss an issue, let's connect!
