Thank you.

What a year it’s been.

When I decided to run for public office, a global pandemic that intersected with my day job leading efforts to prevent eviction was about to hit. 

We pivoted and never stopped working. After months of early mornings, late nights, and countless conversations with voters, we won over 61% of a historic number of votes cast in this district!

To my volunteers, donors, supporters, and wonderful family (including my mom/star phone banker): thank you. Thank you for taking this unexpected, challenging, and rewarding journey with me.

Thank you to Senator Maryanne Jordan for encouraging me to run.

And thank you to the voters of District 17 for your faith in me. I hope to make you proud in the Statehouse.

If there is one thing I’ve learned from this year, it’s that many of our neighbors care about each other - people like you, who continued to step up despite all odds. Focus on the bright spots. I for one am ready to advocate for stronger investments in public education and health, addressing growth and our housing crisis, and protecting our public lands and climate. I know it will be a fight, but my sleeves are rolled up.

The work must go on. Stay active and encourage those around you to do the same. It will take all of us in a local, grassroots effort - just like this campaign - to continue to keep Idaho a wonderful place to live and work while it grows.

In the coming two years, I will continue to update you about my efforts as District 17's State Senator-Elect - both in my newsletter and on social media, so stay tuned!
