I believe the role of public office is to use power carefully, transparently, and with restraint; guided by evidence, accountability, and respect for the people it serves.

When I was 2 years old my parents moved with me and my sister to Merrimack, and for almost 20 years it was where I called home. I grew up in our town experiencing the charm of Kids Cove, spending winters sledding down the hill at Wasserman Park, and attending High School at the Academy for Science and Design when Merrimack still played host to it. I made the decision to attend college at the University of North Dakota, earning a Bachelors of Science in Aeronautics, where I got experience flying Cloud Seeding missions. Once I graduated I went on to work as a Certificated Flight Instructor in Grand Forks, ND before returning to New Hampshire where I instructed out of Nashua Airport while living in Milford and then Nashua. I began my airline career in 2019 flying for Republic Airways where I still am today, flying out of Boston Logan and in 2023 I chose to return back home to Merrimack.

Growing up in New Hampshire instilled in me a deep sense of pride in how we choose how to govern. From our Live Free or Die motto guiding my belief in personal liberty to our citizen legislature impressing upon me the importance of local, accountable representation I believe how we do things in New Hampshire is how we should do things throughout the Country. Unaccountable power, career politicians, and distant institutions lead to a disinterested populace and a weakening of democratic legitimacy. 

After seeing the direction of the country these past several years it became apparent just how broken we are, from our institutions to our discourse. But I do not believe that these cracks are indicative of institutional disrepair. We can not ignore these cracks, nor can we pretend they do not exist, and we can not go back to a time when these cracks did not exist. I believe what we can do, however, is allow the light in, and turn these cracks into something strong and beautiful. We can make our Republic stronger. This is why I chose to run. 

As Representative I will make sure to advocate for the best interests of the people of Merrimack. I will devote myself to the preservation of our institutions, ensure meaningful accountability and oversight, lead based on data, and refute bad logic, regardless of source.
