🗳️A Mom for Montana – 

Fighting for Families, Democracy & the Future of America

I’m running for office because I believe politics doesn’t have to divide us—it can unite us. With honesty, accountability, and a spirit of service, I will represent everyday people, not special interests. 

I grew up in a big Irish Catholic family—one of nine children.  In a family that size, you learn early on what it means to cooperate, to be responsible and how to hold peace amid the chaos.

I first moved to Kila, Montana in 2001. I traveled from Vermont with my two young children on a train, to live in an off the grid cabin. I chopped wood for heat. I used a generator to pump water from the creek and we lived without an indoor toilet. I understand hard work. 

Service has always been at the center of my life.

I’ve worked in health care - assisting the disabled in their homes and those in skilled care facilities. I have held the hand of dying patients in hospice.  I’ve learned the value of teamwork and resilience in the restaurant industry—whether as a waitress, manager, bookkeeper, or owner. I’ve stood beside women and spoke with children as a victim advocate for our local shelter and have been their voice in the courts and in the police stations.

My story may be unique, but my values are ones I know we share, people first. And that’s the common ground where we can build something better, together. 

At my heart, I am a wife, mother, outdoor enthusiast and a music creator. Both roles shape the way I see the world—with compassion, creativity, and a deep commitment to building a positive future.
