Thank you for visiting my site! I'm running to be a representative for District 3 in the North Dakota House. I believe local government plays some of the biggest roles in our lives and should not be ignored. We have many great patriots on our side of town and I am committed to ensuring that the voices of District 3 residents are heard in Bismarck next session.
Voting Rights
Residents living in extraterritorial zoning areas deserve a voice in the decisions that directly impact their property and daily lives. Because the city exercises authority over these areas through zoning regulations and building permits, those residents should have the right to vote for the governing bodies that create and enforce those rules. Representation should accompany regulation.
Data Centers and Carbon Pipelines
North Dakotans should not be asked to shoulder the impacts of large data centers and carbon pipeline projects that have no meaningful benefits to our communities. Our state’s growth should prioritize projects that directly serve and strengthen local residents.
Property Tax Reform
Property tax burdens continue to rise faster than incomes. While the $1,600 tax credit has provided some relief, there are many residents — particularly those within Minot city limits — who continue to face unreasonably high tax burdens. The Legislature must take stronger, lasting action to deliver meaningful property tax reform and ensure long-term affordability for North Dakota families. True reform means structural change — not temporary credits. We need to force reductions and establish caps on all annual property tax increases. The Legislature must enact sustainable measures that protect homeowners and restore affordability in our great community.
About me
I am a wife, mother of three, and small business owner based in Minot, North Dakota. In 2015, my husband and I founded Curb 2 Curb, a parking lot maintenance company serving the Minot area. I manage the bookkeeping and administrative operations while also working alongside my husband in the field. In 2019, we built our home just outside Minot.
I met my husband while attending Magic City Campus High School in Minot. After graduation, we spent 15 years living in the Las Vegas Valley before returning to North Dakota to build our business and raise our family.
I hold an associate degree in land surveying and have approximately eight years of surveying experience. My work has focused heavily on public records research, mapping, easements, and developing 3D topographic models for construction design and earthwork calculations. My technical experience includes residential construction and bridge construction surveying.
I have also worked as a consultant, reviewing residential and commercial subdivision plats for technical accuracy and compliance with local regulations.
Planning Commission
In 2021, I was appointed to the Ward County Planning Commission. The planning commission was tasked with re-writing the Ward County zoning code. Data Centers came up during the course of our discussions, but we didn't have the authority to ban them completely. The best solution was to enact strict requirements that made Ward County a less desirable place for Data Centers. In Ward County, we now require a two mile separation from any residence.
North Prairie Water
In 2021, I helped organize a grassroots coalition of concerned North Prairie Regional Water District users who were frustrated by rising water rates and questionable management practices. What began as conversations among neighbors quickly grew into an organized effort for accountability and reform.
We attended public meetings, gathered signatures, educated fellow members, and encouraged strong voter participation. Our goal was simple: bring transparency, fairness, and responsible leadership to the district. In 2023, I was elected to serve on the North Prairie Regional Water District Board.
After several challenging years, our efforts have produced meaningful, measurable results:
- The district now has new management, bringing improved customer service, better water quality, and more consistent, member-focused policies.
- 2025 marked the first year in 15 years without a water rate increase.
- Board members who fostered a hostile environment were voted out by the membership.
- Members successfully defeated proposed bylaw changes that would have allowed the board to remove fellow board members over disagreements, protecting accountability and preventing consolidation of power.
While there is still work to be done, the tone and direction of the board have changed significantly. The environment is more professional, transparent, and focused on serving district members. Together, we made real progress — and the district is moving in the right direction.
Changing Legislation
After the 2024 NPRWD Annual Meeting, fellow water user and District 3 Senator Bob Paulson reached out to me. He shared concerns about how public input was handled at the meeting and about the dismissal of our petition audit due to gaps in state law that did not clearly apply to water districts.
In response, Senator Paulson introduced two bills during the following legislative session aimed at strengthening accountability.
- SB2299 expanded the oversight authority of the State Auditor over water districts. Senator Paulson worked closely with stakeholders, welcomed public input, and refined the language to ensure the bill was both effective and passable.
- SB2180 guaranteed a public comment period at public meetings, reinforcing the public’s right to be heard.
SB2299 saw only one dissenting vote across both chambers, and SB2180 faced opposition from just four legislators — a testament to the broad recognition that these reforms were necessary.
Senator Paulson has proven himself to be an effective and principled leader for District 3. He is thoughtful in crafting legislation, diligent in building consensus, and committed to delivering results. It was a true honor when he called me in February 2026 to ask whether I would consider running for the House. I deeply respect his character and his ability to achieve meaningful reform. I consider him a mentor and would be proud to serve alongside him in the 70th Legislative Assembly.
