As the son of a career police chief and career school teacher, I grew up learning the value of hard work and compassion in service to the community. For our government that means a responsibility to work for the benefit of people wherever they live, from rural agricultural hubs to metro areas. My hopes for a stronger Missouri include:
Adequate funding and support for our public schools Quality, affordable healthcare made available to everyone Safe, inclusive communities in which we are proud to raise our families
A fair, transparent democratic process that empowers us as citizens to select and engage with a government that represents us.- I need to adequately fund and support our schools, including better pay for teachers.
- Healthcare is a human right. We need to make quality, affordable healthcare available to everyone.
- Government should be more transparent and more accountable to the citizens that elected it.
-Making quality, affordable healthcare available to everyone
-Transparency in government
-Fair redistricting to end gerrymandering
-Supporting local law enforcement and holding them accountable when they overstep their authority.
-Protecting groups from discrimination regardless of race, age, gender identification, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.
-Protecting women's right to make their own healthcare decisions and ensuring universal access both to contraception and safe abortion services.
-Defending workers' rights to organize, collectively bargain, and earn a living wage.
-Reduce gun violence and accidental death by enacting common sense firearm legislation to address background checks,; minimum training and secure storage standards; and reinstating permit requirements for concealed/open carry.
