Cindy has earned the trust of voters in House District 18, winning every election since 2017. She previously served three terms in the early 2000s before narrowly losing her seat in 2010.

After retiring from her full-time career, Cindy returned to public service and won reelection in 2016. She and her fellow Democrats successfully repaired the fiscal disaster caused by the failed “Kansas Experiment” of the Brownback era and funded Kansas public schools appropriately.

Cindy currently serves as the ranking minority member on the Insurance Committee. She also serves on the Child Welfare and Foster Care, Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications, and Legislative Modernization committees, and is a member of the Joint Committee on Pensions, Investments and Benefits.

Before retiring, Cindy spent most of her career as a medical administrator for a multi-specialty group with offices in Wyandotte and Johnson counties. She worked for Discover Dental managing sedation patients and spent nine years working in Shawnee Mission schools while raising her children.
