Expand all | Collapse all

First, I am the only auditor that is running for State Auditor. I am investigative attorney and an accountant. This is not just a political position for me, this is what I do. I am trained in collecting evidence, tracking down leads, and following the money. Second, I have already delivered for Missouri taxpayers. When I audited the Department of Revenue, I found $36 million in waste. I audited the agency that audits you. I am the only one with the qualifications and track record needed to protect Missouri taxpayers.
  • I am the only auditor that is running for State Auditor. I am investigative attorney and an accountant. This is not just a political position for me, this is what I do. I am trained in collecting evidence, tracking down leads, and following the money.
  • I will ensure no taxpayer money encourages illegal immigration. Illegal immigration hurts everyone, especially the majority of immigrants who come here legally. Missouri has strong policies opposing illegal immigration. I will make sure state money for healthcare, schools, and food stamps does not encourage illegal immigration.
  • I will make sure taxpayers do not fund Critical Race Theory in our schools. Radicals from universities to preschools have pushed this radical, divisive ideology on our children. Our state has rejected it. I will make sure taxpayer money is not used to divide our students on racial lines.

Education. Taxpayers everywhere in the state are either directly or indirectly subsidizing bloated systems that prioritize administrators over teachers and students. They deserve better. From elementary school to the universities, I want to make sure state money is going to educate children, not indoctrinate them in the name of social justice.

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.
