| Collapse all
I was raised by 2 veterans who taught me the value of thinking critically for myself and to never push my personal beliefs on others. I have an AAS degree in Health Information and work from home as a certified medical coder for a multi state healthcare system. I've worked fast food, accounting in skilled nursing facilities and even as a container/truck dispatcher for scrap metal. As a single mother, I know low wages and how frustrating it is to rarely qualify for assistance while barely making ends meet. I am running for Lieutenant Governor because I want to fully immerse myself in this position to best serve Missouri. I will expose any corruption in Jefferson City and offer daily reports on what our Missouri Senate and Offices are doing as public servants. The government owes Missouri's citizens complete transparency. As one of the few candidates who refuses corporate money, I want to make it clear, I can not be bought. I want to be the voice of Missourians. Someone who understands, regardless of my beliefs, my first loyalty is to the people of Missouri, not a political party. As Lieutenant Governor I will continue
to reach out to all types of communities in our state so that I can make well informed and educated decisions to represent our people.- Improving communication, there are programs that offer assistance from reducing taxes for our elderly to free home improvements. These programs are available but often go unused. We need a platform that can direct people to the correct department for these programs that will confirm a program is legitimate to reduce potential scams.
- My biggest goal in agriculture would be to figure out a way to remove foreign owned corporations from our farmlands. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations(CAFOs) are a threat to our rural water supplies. Think your wells are safe? Think again. The run offs from industrialized
farming include nitrates that can seep into your water supply and cause blue baby syndrome or stomach cancers. Have you tested your well lately? I'm in support of and would like to increase
locally owned farms. Offer incentives for regenerative, organic and cyclic farming. I'd also like to offer incentives for hemp to be grown and utilized, to replace single use plastics. - Tourism: Advertise our Department of Natural Resources websites as well as their social media presence to remind people of all the amazing attractions Missouri has to offer. An increase in tourism is an increase in revenue. Our parks should never be privatized or sold.

Platform I am at least a 6th generation Missourian who lives in Crystal City in Jefferson county. I was raised by 2 veterans who taught me the value of thinking critically for myself and to never push my personal beliefs on others. I have an AAS degree in Health Information and work from home as a certified medical coder for a multi state healthcare system. I’ve worked fast food, accounting in skilled nursing facilities and even as a container/truck dispatcher for scrap metal. As a single mother, I know low wages and how frustrating it is to rarely qualify for assistance while barely making ends meet. I am running for Lieutenant Governor because I want to fully immerse myself in this position to best serve Missouri. I will expose any corruption in Jefferson City and offer daily reports on what our Missouri Senate and Offices are doing as public servants. The government owes Missouri’s citizens complete transparency. As one of the few candidates who refuses corporate money, I want to make it clear, I can not be bought. I want to be the voice of Missourians. Someone who understands, regardless of my beliefs, my first loyalty is to the people of Missouri, not a political party. As Lieutenant Governor I will continue to reach out to all types of communities in our state so that I can make well informed and educated decisions to represent our people. Duties of Lieutenant Governor and my personal goals: Advocacy for the Elderly: There should be personal property tax waivers for the primary residence of our elderly. Our elderly should not face having to leave their homes because personal property taxes increased while their income has not. Re-evaluate Medicaid qualifications. Consider offering government nursing facilities. Also if we have paid for Medicare and Social Security through our paychecks, why are the elderly having Medicare taken from their Social Security? Medicare Advantage needs to be re-evaluated. Medicare Advantage is contributing to the closures of rural healthcare facilities. Housing and Economic Development: People need to know these programs are available. When people utilize these programs our communities improve. Tourism: Advertise our Department of Natural Resources websites as well as their social media presence to remind people of all the amazing attractions Missouri has to offer. Our parks should never be privatized or sold. Agriculture: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations(CAFOs) are a threat to our rural water supplies. Think your wells are safe? Think again.

I’m in support of and would like to increase locally owned farms. Offer incentives for regenerative, organic and cyclic farming. I’d also like to offer incentives for hemp to be grown and utilized, to replace single use plastics. Mental Health Advocacy: There are gaps in resources for our mental health. Filling these gaps will result in less abuse, crime and will improve our quality of life as a whole.[2] |
