I’m running for Congress because I’m exhausted, like many of you. I am exhausted with the state of politics, the broken promises, and the way Nevadans are treated like an afterthought by the very people elected to serve and represent us.

I’ve watched both parties fail to deliver real solutions. I’ve seen our leadership grow more disconnected, watched them more worried about maintaining the status quo and their positions than they are about helping us, about progressing us. Leaving us to carry the weight of decisions made behind closed doors with little to no say. I’ve been ignored by my own representative: a man who refuses to hold town halls or face the people he’s supposed to work for.

Enough is enough.

I didn’t grow up dreaming of politics. For a long time, I believed I’d make change by becoming a rural family doctor, I wanted to heal one person at a time. But the more I learned, the older I got, the more I saw that the system itself is sick and broken. That no amount of good intentions can fix a machine that’s rigged against everyday people.

So I’m made the hard decision to step up and put myself on the line for my state and my community, not because I have all the answers, but because I believe Nevadans deserve better. I’m running to bring accountability, integrity, and backbone back to public service. I’m running to fight for working families, rural communities, and young people who’ve been told to wait their turn while everything around them gets worse, while those in office ignore us.

If no one else will fight for us, I will.
