My story isn’t like most other members of Congress.
I am the girl who went to Head Start and fell in love with learning; who wants every child to have access to early childhood education and public schools that inspire them to achieve their potential.
I am the pre-teen who flipped burgers at her uncle's rodeo and wants our ranchers and farmers to stay on their land and help build a green rural economy.
I am the mother of three amazing children who wants our country to build a dynamic and innovative economy that creates fulfilling, good-paying jobs for all our kids.
I am the cancer survivor whose health coverage could be denied for pre-existing conditions who wants every person to have affordable and accessible health care.
I am the advocate who helped build health clinics, businesses and infrastructure who wants our country to invest in 21st-century infrastructure so our communities and businesses can thrive.
I am running for re-election to continue delivering on the issues that matter most so that our communities can not just survive - but thrive. But my re-election campaign won't be easy.
