Experience: Front office receptionist at elementary school in Williamsburg for five years, billing, insurance, and scheduling experience for seven years at dentist office.

Reason for Running: “I have seen and experienced firsthand the challenges facing low-income members of our community who struggle to put food on the table. I want all families to have the same opportunity to thrive as I have, and serving as a delegate would give me the ability to pass state-level legislation that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”

Why People Should Vote for You: “I am a lifelong Virginian who has lived in the 71st District for the past 21 years. I have raised my family in both New Kent and James City County, and as an outspoken public school advocate, I’m passionate about improving my community and ensuring that the 71st District remains the best place to live, work, and raise a family.
