Why I’M RUNNING

We’re at a crossroads—not just in politics, but in how we treat one another, how we grow our economy, and how we hold power accountable.

All across this state, people are working hard and playing by the rules—and still falling behind. Not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because too often the rules are written by people who are never held accountable. The economy’s being shaped by those at the top, and too many politicians are either protecting the status quo—or pointing fingers to distract from their own failures.

We can’t afford to waste this moment.

Right now, we have a real chance to deliver change that actually matters—for working people, small business owners, parents, teachers, and anyone who just wants a fair shot and a voice in how this state runs. But to do that, we need more than talk—we need transparency. We need leaders who tell the truth, not just what polls well. We need government that works for people, not behind closed doors or for the highest bidder.

That’s the coalition we’re building:
People who are tired of the lies and the backroom deals.
People who want honesty, accountability, and leadership that actually listens.
People who know we can fix this—but only if we do it together.

This isn’t about one party or one campaign. It’s about doing the hard work to rebuild trust in our system and deliver results that people can actually feel. No more excuses. No more hiding the ball. No more pretending everything’s fine when it clearly isn’t.

I’m running because we’ve waited long enough. I’m running because I believe in what we can do together. And because if we don’t act now—boldly, honestly, and collectively—we risk missing our best chance to build a government that actually works for all of us.
