I'm a proud, longtime Gary homeowner, Indiana public schools graduate, lawyer, doggy rescue mom and your candidate for Congress. I'm not a politician. And that should excite you. In 2018, 70% of the newly elected Democratic members of Congress never held a political office before. It's time for a new voice! As our next member of Congress I'll fight hard every day for Northwest Indiana. My NWI:Off the Grid renewable energy plan has bi-partisan support and will bring 40,000 new jobs to our region. I will fight for access to quality, affordable healthcare, and education reform so that our children have a great future.
- My " NWI:Off the Grid" renewable energy plan has bi-partisan support and will bring 40,000 new jobs to our region. It's good for the planet and our economy!
- I will fight for education reform. I believe that the gap can be closed by identifying trauma in the home within the school system and helping kids from these backgrounds.
- I am a supporter of Medicare for All and believe that affordable healthcare is a human right.
I'm extremely passionate about diverting federal funds to NWI to help steel mills convert to renewable energy. My NWI:Off the Grid jobs plan will create 40,000 new, well paying jobs in the region based on conversion to wind and solar energy.
My favorite book is "The Power of Now" by Ekhart Tolle. This book has helped me through some tough challenges by stressing the importance of living in the present moment. There were periods in my life that I needed to follow that path in order to move forward. I'm humble about my success and am committed to helping those less fortunate who only need someone to care for them and let them know that they are valued and have as much right to success as anyone.
I had a tough upbringing. As is true for many families today, we struggled. My home life was fraught with chronic and extreme domestic violence, untreated mental illness, and acute substance abuse. We need to stop the stigma and have a bold, honest discussion about trauma in the home so that children living with violence and substance abuse know they are not alone. It's also about social justice. If we're going to end financial inequality, we have to close the education gap. Before we can do that, we need to understand that children from households like mine can't conjugate verbs or learn algebra if they're thinking about what's waiting for them at home.
Like many children, I had a natural sense that what was happening in my world was not right. Somehow I found a way to right my internal compass and find a way out of the cycle. Later, after my niece Renee was born into the same environment, I reached back and pulled her out as well. She is a now a Princeton grad, recently married, and traveling the world as she works. Proof that the success of one can spur on the success of others!
I believe, by speaking boldly and openly, we can, together, pull back the curtain of secrecy and take away the inherent shame that surrounds "family problems." As your Congresswoman, I will focus on solving the basic issues that hold our children and families back, especially access to mental health services and drug/alcohol treatment, so that lost opportunities can become stories of success and happiness.
