There are a lot of ways to describe me, but no single thing defines who I am and no one label fits neatly next to my name. One thing does sum up all that I am—that is "committed to us, the residents of District 12."

I'm a neighbor. I'm a community activist. I'm a homeowner and a former east side renter. I'm a woman. I'm a worker. I'm an environmentalist. I'm a daughter. I'm pro-choice. I like to sing and knit.

I support buying local, traffic calming, community policing, responsive government, workforce transportation and helping working families and local business.

I'm member of:

• My union, AFT 223
• Friends of Starkweather Creek
• Friends of Cherokee Marsh
• Eken Park Neighborhood Association
• The LGBT community.

I am proud to have the endorsement of:

• Affordable Housing Action Alliance
• AFSCME PEOPLE
• Bicycle Transportation Alliance of Dane County
• Democracy for Wisconsin
• Democratic Party of Dane County
• Four Lakes Greens
• Progressive Dane
• Sierra Club
• Teaching Assistants' Association
• Most importantly, more than 200 of our neighbors.

I'm a facilitator. I'm experienced on city issues through my work and local activism.

I'm my own person, and I'm a lot like you. I've got a vision that's built on the things we care about. But most of all, I'm committed to you, committed to our neighborhoods, and committed to providing active, accessible, accountable representation. With your support and input, I'm ready to be your alder.
