Amelia’s Story
Amelia is running for the Kansas House because she believes government should work for everyday people- not just the wealthy and well-connected. Like many Kansans, she understands the challenges families face as the cost of housing, healthcare, transportation, and daily life continues to rise. She is committed to listening to constituents, fighting for affordable communities, and ensuring every voice is heard in Topeka.
For more than 16 years, Amelia has worked on political campaigns and community advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national levels. Through that work, she has seen firsthand the difference compassionate, effective leadership can make in people’s lives and developed a deep belief in public service that puts communities first.
From 2013 to 2019, Amelia lived in San Francisco, where she continued her work in campaigns and public affairs while gaining experience working with diverse communities and addressing the challenges facing growing urban areas. Those experiences strengthened her understanding of how thoughtful public policy can improve affordability, transportation, and quality of life.
Amelia has also spent the past seven years serving as a caregiver for her 103-year-old grandmother. That experience gave her firsthand insight into the financial and emotional challenges many families face when caring for loved ones and reinforced her commitment to expanding access to affordable care and support services.
She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Kansas State University and her Master of Public Administration from University of San Francisco, building the policy and leadership background she will bring to the Kansas Legislature.
