I was born and raised in Minnetonka, and have proudly called the area home for many years. Over the course of my career in public service, I’ve worked tirelessly to support the needs of our community, starting with seven years as an at-large City Council member in Minnetonka. During my time on the council, I focused on improving city infrastructure, enhancing community services, and promoting environmental sustainability.

Now in my third term as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, I’m honored to represent the suburban communities of Minnetonka, Wayzata, Woodland, Deephaven, and Shorewood. In my role, I’ve made it a priority to tackle some of the most pressing challenges our state faces, especially when it comes to climate and energy policy. As Chair of the Climate and Energy Finance and Policy Committee, I’m leading efforts to combat climate change and transition to a clean energy economy, while also ensuring that Minnesota’s energy policies are both sustainable and equitable.

In addition to my work on the Climate and Energy Committee, I serve on several other key committees, including the Sustainable Infrastructure Committee, the Health Finance Committee, and the Ways and Means Committee. These roles allow me to influence policies that affect the daily lives of Minnesotans, from improving healthcare access to strengthening our state’s financial outlook. I’m also co-Chair of the Legislative Energy Commission and a member of the Legislative Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources, both of which focus on ensuring the long-term sustainability of Minnesota’s natural resources.

Throughout my time in the Legislature, I’ve been a proud member of the House Climate Action Caucus, working with colleagues to push for bold action on climate issues. My passion for protecting our environment and creating a sustainable future drives much of my work, and I’m committed to finding innovative solutions that benefit all Minnesotans. I believe that by working together, we can build a stronger, healthier, and more resilient state for generations to come.

Outside of my legislative work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the natural beauty of our state, and staying connected with the communities I represent.
