I helped to found a group called “Hampton for All” which is a community resource for educators, parents, and students in our community. We have a visible presence at our school board promoting protection for all marginalized groups in the town, including trans students. Meet the Candidate Welcome to the 2025 election season series ‘Political […]
Another update on our campaign Q&A series. 23 candidates have requested a Q&A. Those are now in their hands. Eight candidates returned and one withdrew from the process b/c of the time commitment involved in answering the questions. Seven have been published; one was returned just 15 minutes ago. That leaves 14 outstanding. And a […]
We create hope, not simply hold onto it or believe in it. Our actions create hope, our intentions and our impact. (Good intentions without good impact can also destroy hope. Don’t fall back on your intentions.) I have not written many news or political posts since the election. I am paying attention, but unsure what […]
I can’t decide if it’s a sign of the times or simply dumb luck. Burned the index finger of my dominant hand on the icing of a Pop-Tart fresh out of the toaster. Ran cold water. Google “wtf do I do now.” And here I sit with my finger swathed in petroleum jelly and generic […]

Be sure to check out the questionnaires on the SCSD website. All of them. Read all of the questions and responses. It is definitely not a fair assumption that an out LGBTQ candidate has a solid grasp on LGBTQ political history or policies. Don’t make their mistake of ignoring the facts. Educate yourself. Three of […]
Dr. Oz is trying to erode our trust in John Fetterman, vy strongly implying he’s hiding something about his health or unable to make an informed decisions about his own capabilities. Frankly, this again takes us back to abortion. There’s a shaming factor around *why* someone wants to access an abortion while also a patronizing […]
But from that experience comes a perspective that can only benefit those that might come before me as Magistrate: I’ll approach each person as more than their worst day or worst choice or most shameful story. I know first hand that we are all more than any one of those things and we deserve a […]
