| Collapse all
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and I have spent the last two decades working in roles centered around social and community service. The majority of my career I have provided direct behavioral healthcare to adults and children living with severe and persistent mental illness. Every day I fight to ensure individuals have the resources they need to: stay in their homes, receive necessary treatments, or improve the skills needed to be contributing members of society.
Currently, I work as a behavioral health business strategist and project manager at a local safety net hospital. I also am an adjunct professor teaching the social workers of tomorrow at a local university. I believe my policy experience and ability to work through programmatic solutions have prepared me to start day one in Jefferson City.
My wife, Jessica, and I have made Independence our home since we were married in 2006. We have two children, Corban (13) and Isabelle (11), and they have attended Independence public schools their entire educational experience and will graduate from Truman High School.
As a husband and father raising children in Independence, I understand the struggles families are facing. We need competent, accountable leadership in Jefferson City who will speak up for our values.- Education: Aaron sends his children to ISD schools and believes fully funding public education will create lifelong learners who are prepared for the future.
- Mental Health and Senior Services: As a social worker, Aaron fights every day to provide meaningful services to our community and to advocate for sustainable mental health resources.
- Safe Communities: Aaron supports policies that will protect our families by creating safer communities with well-paying jobs and affordable, accessible healthcare.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
