About Lindsay

Lindsay is a nonprofit professional, young leader, and proud Kansan. She was born and raised in Overland Park where she is active in her local community. Lindsay is dedicated to Equality, the Environment, Education, and Opportunity, which she believes are essential to ensuring all Kansans have a brighter future.

Lindsay was raised by rural Midwesterners who moved to Johnson County for better opportunities and a first-rate public education system. They instilled in her the values of hard work, honesty, and integrity. After graduating from Blue Valley Northwest High School, Lindsay studied Political Science and Cultural Anthropology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where she graduated with Distinction. After college, she returned home to Johnson County.

Lindsay moved back in 2016, a year that was both a political and personal turning point. Frustrated and upset with national political rhetoric, she felt compelled to get involved and do something locally. Lindsay dedicated herself to working jobs and volunteering with organizations focused on making a positive difference in our community. These experiences demonstrated that real change starts at the local level by working together with our neighbors and finding common ground. 

Then in 2018, Lindsay had the incredible opportunity to work as a field organizer on Rep. Sharice Davids’ first campaign for Congress. Watching Rep. Davids and thousands of other women get elected that year inspired Lindsay and showed her the importance of having young women at the table in all levels of government. In 2020 she decided to run for State Representative herself and won. 

Lindsay has the honor of serving on the House Water, Children and Seniors, and Social Services Budget Committees. She is proud to have taken the lead on issues impacting young women and our environment, introducing bills to increase access to contraceptives and reform state water policy. 

Lindsay currently works at Madam President Camp, a nonprofit focused on inspiring middle school girls to take on leadership roles in their communities, now and in the future. She lives near Comanche Elementary School with her cats Westley and Inigo (named after the Princess Bride!) and loves spending her weekends in Downtown Overland Park, grabbing coffee and walking around the Farmer’s Market.
