WHY I’M RUNNING

I’m running because the North State deserves a leader who fights for all of us—not just the wealthy and well-connected.

I’ve called Redding home for more than a decade and I’ve seen how hardworking families struggle to afford and access healthcare, how students and workers are burdened by rising costs and stagnant wages, how wildfire threats are an ever increasing reality, and how intolerance is on the rise. And while we face these challenges, Congressman Doug LaMalfa has consistently voted against solutions that would make life better for everyday people.

Enough is enough.

America’s promise has always been one of opportunity—but right now, that promise is more like a pipe dream. It’s time to rebuild an economy that works for families, not just corporations. It’s time to ensure healthcare is a right, not a privilege. And it’s time that policies passed in Congress puts all of us first, not oligarchs.

The Constitution’s preamble calls on our government to "promote the general Welfare." That’s exactly what I’ll do.  I’m running an anti-poverty, pro-family campaign that’s focused on bread-and-butter issues and seeks to create a community of care that unites us across differences.

This race isn’t about left vs. right—it’s about right vs. wrong. Together, we can build a North State where everyone has a fair shot, where families thrive, and where our leaders finally put people first.

That’s the future I’m fighting for—and with your support, we’ll make it happen.
