“I’m running because I believe we deserve representation that truly serves everyone in the district, and that we should put the power of governance back into the voters’ hands,” she said in the statement. “I’m different because I’m not a career politician — I believe in fairness and humility and integrity in public service.”

According to her website, her slogan is “we deserve better.”

She cites health care, flood repair and “never-ending war” as top issues, though she doesn’t offer specific proposals.

Freeman seeks the seat of what is seen as a swing district, although Republicans have held control for all but two of the past 20 years.
