Candidate Q&A

Why are you running?

I’m running because residents in Franklin and Perry Townships have been grossly misrepresented and underrepresented by State Representative Andrew Ireland. Hoosiers are enduring an affordability crisis compounded by low wages and need an advocate at the Statehouse who understands their issues and will work to improve their quality of life.

If elected, what would be your top priorities for your constituents?

My top priorities would be to improve our roads and infrastructure, strengthen public schools, and support Hoosier families.

What areas of public policy are you passionate about?

In addition to other areas — I am passionate about economic, healthcare, and education policy. These areas directly affect Hoosiers and can be addressed in ways that positively benefit and improve their lives.

In what areas do you see opportunities for bipartisanship in the 2027 legislative session?

I see an opportunity for bipartisanship on all areas of public policy. Working to find common ground is an essential component of the legislative process. If Statehouse leaders are going to deliver real solutions for the problems many Hoosiers are facing — both sides must be willing to listen to and respect one another.

The Indiana Senate voted against redistricting during the 2026 legislative session. What is your position on redistricting?

I strongly oppose redistricting. Democrats hold only two of the nine congressional seats in Indiana and represent the largest population of black Americans in Indianapolis and Northwest Indiana. Redistricting is a blatant attempt to silence the voices of black and other minority communities in Indiana.
