I just wrapped up two days at the Northwest Indiana REALTORS® Association’s (NIRA) Strategic Planning Meeting, where I serve as a peer elected director.
Most people don’t see what goes into this work. We spend hours planning for the future of our association, strengthening professional standards, protecting consumers, improving education for REALTORS®, and making sure our members are held to a strong Code of Ethics.
Why does that matter?
Because buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions a family will ever make. Strong professional standards don’t just benefit REALTORS®. They help protect the people we serve.
Buying a home isn’t just a transaction to me. It’s where public policy meets real life.
My experience in real estate has given me a front-row seat to the challenges Hoosier families face every day. Rising property taxes, higher utility bills, insurance costs, and a housing market that’s becoming harder to navigate all affect whether someone can afford to buy a home, keep the home they have, or build a better future for their family.
Housing isn’t just one issue. It touches almost every part of our lives.
That’s why I’m running for the Indiana State Senate.
District 6 deserves someone who already understands these challenges and has experience serving in an elected leadership role, building consensus, and making thoughtful decisions. I’ll bring that same practical, data-driven approach to Indianapolis as we work to lower costs, expand housing opportunities, and strengthen consumer protections.
There has never been a more important election in Indiana, and I’m ready to get to work on day one.
A Roof. A Table. A Future. 🩷🦉
Midwest Mom. Practical Solutions.

This campaign has never been backed by special interests. It’s powered by neighbors, volunteers, and people who believe District 6 deserves practical leadership that puts families first.
