I watched in horror as the Trump administration attacked science, women, marginalized groups, and our democracy. I became a grassroots organizer for women scientists in the DC area to promote science and evidence-based policy. When the pandemic hit, studying sperm cells under a microscope seemed less important than making sure science was being clearly understood by policymakers. Again feeling called to public service, I left the lab and started a career in federal policy.
“I strongly believe that our government can be a powerful force for good for all working families.”
I spent a year as a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow working in the office of Senator Elizabeth Warren and then for the National Institutes of Health. The last two years, I served as a biologist at the U.S. Government Accountability Office, where I helped educate Congress on emerging science and tech issues, developed policy recommendations, and helped ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
Remote work at the GAO allowed me to finally return home to Texas in early 2022, but I came home to a very different Texas. Like so many others, I do not feel that I am being represented by our policymakers, and I am worried for my friends, family, and neighbors. I want to live in a Texas where everyone has the same opportunity to reach their full potential. I am running for office to be a voice for women's rights and to fight for working-class Texas families like my own. I couldn't be more proud of the other optimists out there who see a better Texas on the horizon. I hope you'll join us.

Biden's accomplishments remarkable in historical context, TOM MAERTENS My View, The Free Press, September 15, 2022
"Less than two years into his term, Biden’s record of accomplishments surpasses what most presidents accomplish in their entire tenures. As Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-New York, said: “If someone were to say that a president had a record of accomplishment (such as Biden’s), without putting a time frame on it, the logical response would be: That person had a successful two-term presidency.” In fact, it might be necessary to go back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt to match Biden’s record of success. And astonishingly, it has been accomplished with a Senate split 50-50."
