Statement
As your elected State Representative, I have focused on economic development and building infrastructure that will expand opportunities for families, farms, and communities. I passed legislation that will develop broadband fiber in areas with poor access to high speed internet. I worked to secure water for our towns and farms.

During these challenging times, I have worked to create new ways to connect food producers with people in need.
