Public service starts at the local level. I've worked on issues like transparency, infrastructure, & responsible growth, always focused on what’s best for our community. I'm ready to bring that same commitment to the State Senate! Today, I officially submitted my declaration of candidacy to run!

Out talking to residents about what I believe in: Listening before acting, working across the aisle, treating people with respect, even when we disagree I lead with more collaboration & less division. That’s the kind of leadership I'm committed to bringing to the State Senate for our communtity.

Windy but fun at the Race for Raymond! 🌬️ Great to support the Maddie Potts Foundation and the Hopkinton Police. Personal win: Beat last year's time by 6 minutes! 🏃‍♀️ As a busy mom, running is my favorite way to find some "alone time." Feels great to be back! #hopkintonri #raceforraymond

District 34 overlaps with: 🏛️ 5 Town Councils 🏛️ 5 State Reps 🎓 2 School Committees Represented by one Senate seat. One voice. One collaborator. One listener. I’m running for Senate to ensure our one opportunity for representation is effective for all residents. #SamForStateSenate #RIpolitics

Our kids are struggling, and teachers are sounding the alarm—they can’t do this alone. Every student deserves access to support that helps them succeed not just academically, but emotionally and mentally too. This isn’t just about school—it’s about saving lives.
