Source-published biography

I served in the United States Navy for 34 years. I am the daughter and granddaughter of Navy veterans. My father retired from the Navy after 37 years of service to our nation, and my grandfather was a frogman in World War II. It was always my desire to follow in their footsteps. I became determined to go to the United States Naval Academy when I was in preschool, well before women could even attend. I was delighted in 1976 when the first women were admitted, and I joined the 11th class with women in July of 1986.

Source-published biography

I graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1990 and began the great adventure of naval service. After more than seven years as an intelligence officer serving in the United States and abroad, I left active duty and joined the Navy Reserve. My sister had already settled in Colorado, and so my husband Chris and I decided to make it our home as well.

Source-published biography

Our five wonderful children were born here in Colorado, and my husband and I were proud to raise them here, homeschooling them at our kitchen table. By the time I deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, my parents had moved into a house down the street, and that family support was a Godsend for my husband. The kids were 10, 8, 6, 4, and 1 when I left, and it was a long year for all of us. Our Colorado friends, neighbors, and family were a tremendous source of love and support for us through that year.

Source-published biography

When I became an Admiral in 2018, the Navy asked me to undertake our biggest adventure yet and we moved to New Delhi, India. I was the Senior Defense Official and Defense Attache there from 2019 to 2022. After finishing that tour, we wanted to return home to Colorado, but duty called again, and I was asked to join the National Security Council to serve as the Senior Director for South Asia. Chris and my two youngest children moved back home, where they graduated from our local public school. Meanwhile, I fulfilled my mission in Washington, DC.

National security, foreign policy, and veterans

Candidate position

I believe we can change that with common sense, hard work, and a willingness to work across the aisle. Throughout my military career, I tackled tough problems by bringing people together, finding practical solutions, and staying focused on the mission. I’ll bring that same approach to Congress by cutting through the dysfunction, working with anyone who is serious about solving problems, and delivering real results so government works for the people it’s supposed to serve.
