Overview

Where I stand

Healthcare costs strain families, farms, and small businesses. People deserve clearer prices, practical options, and care close to home whenever possible.

Prevention matters. Nutrition, local food, fresh produce, movement, and early care can reduce the burden of chronic disease over time. Policy should make the healthy choice easier—not lecture neighbors.

Mental health care and services for veterans and seniors are part of a whole community. Rural hospitals and clinics are anchors; when they struggle, whole counties feel it.

FAQ

Common questions

Will you wade into contested medical mandates?

This page focuses on affordability, access, transparency, prevention, mental health, and veterans’ care. Personal medical decisions belong between patients and their clinicians.

What does healthy living have to do with the Legislature?

State policy touches food access, schools, recreation, and how care is paid for. Supporting local food, prevention, and clear information helps families without overpromising cures.
