A lifelong commitment 

I was born in Minnetonka, and I have lived in the west metro for more than 40 years.

​

I graduated from Hopkins High School, and earned a degree in natural resource management from the University of Minnesota.

​

After college, I worked for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in northwestern Minnesota, and then for Hennepin County Environmental Services.

 

I have been married to my husband, Craig, for 25 years, and we have two sons: Jack graduated this year from Macalester College, and Charlie attends the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. 

 

In 2012, Minnetonka residents elected me to an at-large Minnetonka City Council. I served until 2018, when voters in Minnetonka, Plymouth and Woodland elected me to represent District 44B in the State Legislature. With this year's redistricting, I look forward to reconnecting with people, and getting to know new District 45B constituents in Wayzata, Deephaven and Shorewood.

 

Get to know me better by following my campaign on social media.
