"I have a passion for serving the underrepresented. I have worked in and around healthcare for 15 years as a part-time firefighter/paramedic, ER tech, and healthcare consultant. I want to work for you. We need to create more living wage jobs, improve our schools, and make public safety - especially getting guns off the streets, a top priority. I do not want to stand by and watch anymore. I want to stand up and make a change for the unseen and the unheard. Together we can make sure the government works for all of us, not just the few.
