Former ​Field Engineer.  Lakewood Mom. Councilwoman.

 I’m running for re-election to ensure that everyone in Lakewood has the opportunity to succeed and earn a good life. 

Three generations of my family live in Lakewood. My kids learned to walk, bike, and swim in Lakewood parks. My parents are retiring here. We love the location, Jeffco schools, and quality of life here in Lakewood. Still, my family is facing the same challenges and concerns as families all across Lakewood- the cost of childcare, healthcare, student loans, housing, safety, and keeping our air and water clean.

Everyone in Lakewood deserves to feel safe in our community, at school and at home. It’s our responsibility to  preserve what makes Lakewood so special: our parks and open space, our clean air and clean water. That’s why I will do everything I can to keep our community safe, preserve our parks and open spaces, and protect our Colorado Way of Life. 

We face challenges, but I know we can address them together.  I was a field engineer at age 22. I wore a hard hat and steel toe boots, regularly working 24 hour shifts that often meant sleeping in a pickup truck on the job site. I learned that to get results, you work hard, you work as a team, and you don’t give up until the job is done.

With that same persistence and hard work, I went to work for our values and our families.  I ran for City Council and became the youngest woman on council and the only one with kids under 18.  More importantly, that same persistence and hard work is how we’ve worked together to get results for families all across Lakewood.

Together we protected over 60 new acres of open space, expanded our police force, invested in traffic mitigation, passed legislation to prevent youth vaping, passed legislation to meet clean air and water goals, and more- all without raising taxes!

With your support, I’ll continue to stand up for our values, and make decisions for you and your family the same way I’d make decisions for my own.  This includes supporting our public safety and first responders. Together we can ensure Lakewood remains a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and earn a good life.

I'd love to earn your support, and your vote in November.  We know this election will be competitive, please sign up to volunteer or donate today!
