A Life Dedicated to Service
Air Force Veteran. Nurse. Mom.
Meet Kristina
U.S. Air Force Veteran, Oncology Nurse Practitioner, and mom of two – Kristina Knickerbocker’s life has been dedicated to serving our country and our community.
Rooted in faith and family, Kristina is running for Congress because she has witnessed how broken systems have failed Americans. Access to affordable healthcare, housing, food, childcare and eldercare are essential to providing a robust economy and workforce.
In Congress, she’ll work on pragmatic approaches to end the affordability crisis, cut taxes, help small businesses, and take on the status quo of Washington corruption.

Why I’m Running for Congress
As a Veteran
Veterans, service members, and military families deserve the highest gratitude and respect our country can offer. We must ensure a high quality of life for those who are willing to protect and preserve our democracy, liberty, and freedoms. I served at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as an officer for a decade and I know the realities facing military families and our veterans.
As a Nurse Practitioner
The system prioritizes profit over patient care and prevention, leading to inefficiencies and dramatically higher costs. In today’s system, insurance companies deny first, forcing American healthcare providers to spend time fighting insurance for basic needs, like insulin or chemotherapy. People can’t access the care they need, or simply can’t afford it. This makes us sicker and shifts the burden of healthcare costs away from the insurance companies and onto the taxpayers.
Reliable access to quality health care saves lives, promotes stable and healthy lifestyles, and provides security across the social and economic spectrum. People need access to affordable health care at every stage of life.
As a Mom
My faith guides me to advocate for policy that prioritizes a better future for our families. There is urgency in passing immediate legislation to help lower costs and make it more realistic for people to raise children and care for family members. Our children deserve a future far better than what Washington politicians want to normalize.
