When We Walk Together, No One Walks Alone

Rain or Shine for Mental Health

This past Saturday morning was a cold, rainy one, but the weather didn’t stop our community from showing up for a vital cause. I joined the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) for their awareness walk, and the turnout was a powerful reminder of how much we care for our neighbors in Sheridan County.

Mental health isn’t just a policy topic for me—it’s a human one. My dog, Migo, braved the rain alongside me as we walked with families, advocates, and those currently navigating their own mental health journeys. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear personal stories and witness the resilience of our community.

Events like these reinforce why I will fight for our local support systems: because when we walk together, we make sure no one has to walk alone.

Knocking on Doors: Neighborhood Edition

This week, I officially shifted into high gear with door-knocking! I started right here in my own neighborhood, which made for some wonderful “on the porch” chats. It was a joy to tell neighbors, “I’m just down the block—the house with the flower gardens and the Little Free Library.”

The Takeaway: I am incredibly encouraged by the warm response. Not only were people eager to discuss the issues facing House District 51, but several neighbors even asked for yard signs right on the spot!

If you’re in the neighborhood, consider this an open invitation to stop by for a visit or give me a call at (307) 752-1762. This phase of the campaign is officially in full swing, and I am loving every minute of it.
