I am running for a seat in the Rhode Island House of Representatives to represent District 66 Riverside and Barrington.
I am ready to pivot from nearly 10 years of advocacy to public service. After seeing years of hard work pay off in June 2022 when Governor McKee signed three substantial gun safety bills into law, I decided to shift to a new role to better impact the priorities I have championed for the past decade: fighting for better gun laws and protecting women’s reproductive rights.
I was raised in upstate New York, went to school in Pennsylvania and St. Louis, and spent a decade living and working in Washington, DC before moving north to Boston. After getting married, my husband and I decided that we didn’t want to raise a family in the city, and we moved to Barrington in 2005. We have two boys–one is a 19-yr-old college student, and the other attends middle school.
I love Rhode Island, and I want to improve the lives of everyone in our community. I pledge to make decisions based on what is best for our citizens, to find common ground when conflicts arise, and to continually listen and learn.
