About Me

Growing up in the age of social media, I was able to get into the political process from a young age. I am not the definition of a politician, perhaps the furthest from it. I work a normal working class job and I am not somebody who makes his living campaigning. I live in a modest 1bd1bth apartment in Mounds View with my significant other, and a cat I adopted with her named Lunita. My only political connections have been made through volunteering, and even then, my intention was only to make friends and meet like-minded people, not to climb the political ladder.

When Jenny Liang, the former endorsed Republican candidate in our district, was unable to continue running after being accepted into Vanderbilt Law, she approached me and floated the idea of taking her place. I was shocked and honored, but also worried. I knew that stepping into the ring was a tremendous responsibility, and I wouldn't do it unless I was prepared to give it my all. For several nights I slept on it, but ultimately, the only thing that crossed my mind was: Would I rather tell my future children and grandchildren that my whole life I sat around doomscrolling the news, whining and complaining? Or that I stepped up to bat and stood for what was right?

And now, here I am! This campaign, I want to represent all of us proudly: Myself and my family, my neighbors, whether they are Republicans, Democrats, or otherwise, and the State of Minnesota which I am so blessed to call my home. 

My best trait as a representative would be my will to fight. I have no intention of pleasing donors, lobbyists, or politicians but to speak the truth and fight hard, tooth and nail, for policies I believe in.
