My mom began her federal career in 1953 with the FBI.

Policy at both the state and federal levels of government plays out at the LOCAL level.

Through my work in human trafficking, on the Billings City Council, and family in the profession, I am blessed to know so many who serve as law enforcement officers, agents, analysts, victim service specialists, and support staff.

A step in the right direction! “Effective today, federal law bans many types of out-of-network medical bills and puts the onus on doctors and health insurance companies to resolve their payment disputes.”

If you know me or have followed me for any length of time then you know that crimes against children are intolerable to me and much of my life is spent working to make this world a safer place for children.

All of us have stories to tell about taking care of our loved ones. For some, we have to make life-changing decisions.

I’m the daughter of a dad who ran a family restaurant and a mom who dedicated her life to federal service, working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, FBI, IRS, Department of the Navy, and the Department of the Army.

Coming from a working-class family, I understand the principles and value of hard work. It’s why I have worked tirelessly to make life better for working-class folks and people experiencing economic, health, or societal challenges.
