She outlined bills sponsored, motions moved and other legislative interventions targeted at addressing critical development challenges within the constituency.

The lawmaker explained that her approach to representation is built on continuous consultation, transparency and people-centred governance. She noted that meaningful legislation must be informed by the lived realities of the people, adding that regular engagement with constituents remains central to her mandate.
