What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
LGBTQIA+ Rights Environment, with focus on the water. Responsible Gun Reform
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
LGBTQIA+ Rights. I am a trans woman and most of my friends are in the lgbt group. I have see too many stories of what hate and ignorance has done to people like me.
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
I look up to quite a few trans women. Because it is amazing to see people who took the chance to be who they are and then go further and succeed. Danica Roem First openly trans state legislature. Natalie Wynn (AKA ContraPoints) Brianne Titone: A fellow first time Trans Candidate running in Colorado
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
Honesty. Self Sacrifice Humility
What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?
I am very empathetic. Even with people who have positions that I disagree with, I can usually see the reason they believe beyond the general political retoric of their ignorant or small minded. I can understand why they disagree and feel why it is important to them.
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
To do the best you can for the place you represent, then to humanity in general.
What legacy would you like to leave?
I would like for trans people to be able to see one of themselves as having done a great job and be an encouragement.

The Challenger Explosion I was 9 years old and saw it live on T.V.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
My first job was working for a carpet installer. I was under the required age and paid less than minimum wage. It lasted for about 2 months until I could get a job that paid and was on the books. It was to raise money for a missionary trip I was going on when I was 15.
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
Christmas. Because it is one of the few days when the world stops, or at least most of it. Most of the stores are closed and people are able to be home with their families.
What is your favorite book? Why?
Alas Babylon Growing up I was at the tail end of the cold war and it was comforting to read a book about a very possible event, the nuclear exchange between the USSR and America, and it not be the end of everything good.
If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?
There are quite a few trans girls in web comics where the main theme is them growing up, surviving high school and college. I wasn't able to come out till a later age and I often like putting myself in their places trying to have that growing up as me experience I couldn't have.
What was the last song that got stuck in your head?
Baby Shark...do do do do do (Sorry if I just got it in your head.)
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
My weight
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
Our water quality and the fight between building homes and business for all the incoming while keeping our nature and beauty that they people come here for.
What process do you favor for redistricting?
A third party, non political, scientific method of drawing boundaries.
