I am a husband, father, small business owner/operator and first-term state representative. I a, asking for your vote for re-election to continue working on the ideas and issues that affect real change in Missouri for the betterment of the people and the state.

  • I want to solve the Illegal Immigration problem in Missouri by implementing new laws to go after employers exploiting undocumented workers.
  • We need to establish clear penalties for porch pirates that can help reduce recidivism rates.

I am a husband, father of two girls, and a small business owner for nearly a decade. Born and raised in the St. Louis Area, I moved to St. Charles in 2007. I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 13 and earned an AA in Business Administration and a BA in Political Science.
  • Support our businesses by removing burdensome regulation.
  • Strengthen education by allowing families to choose.
  • Maintain fiscal responsibility with our state budget.
I am passionate most on educational freedom and also on the elections process.
The Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. I was 5
I worked as a Boy Scout summer camp counselor for cub scouts in Illinois for the summer I turned 15.
I believe it is beneficial to have a working knowledge of the legislative process. With term-limits, the opportunity to serve is limited to a maximum of 8 year. Being able to hit the ground running as soon as being elected is important to achieving all that you want to get accomplished. Having some institutional knowledge can be even more beneficial today than it did 20 years ago.
Of course. As one of 163 representative you must depend on others to have areas of expertise that one person alone could not have. Building those relationships allow you to trust those on issues you may not know about. For example, as a small business owner in the suburbs I would have to depend on the relationship I build with the rural legislators about issues dealing with farming.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Missouri

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.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of Missouri scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.


2024

In 2024, the Missouri State Legislature was in session from January 3 to May 17.

Legislators are scored on their votes on bills related to economic issues.
Legislators are scored on their votes on bills related to business issues.
Legislators are scored on their votes on environmental issues.
