Why should voters elect you?
"Knocking on doors, I've listened to our community's hopes. I'll fight for our shared values: better schools, reduced congestion and the right to choose."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"Education is the top issue in our community, and it's my top priority. As a Montgomery County native and lifelong resident, I know that a top-notch education is a right, not a privilege. I will fight to reduce class sizes, increase teacher pay and eliminate portable classrooms. I'm humbled to have earned the endorsement of Montgomery County's teachers and honored to appear on the Apple Ballot on Nov. 7. I've listened to parents, teachers and other progressive lawmakers. Fighting together, we can give our children the education they deserve."
