Expand all | Collapse all

I have been married 46 years and seen hard times, as well as, good times, like most of you. I know how to get things done the right way. I have learned that working hard and smart is how to be successful. In our home, God will always come first, with family and country next. I want Missouri to set the same priorities for our state. Politics should not be a blue or red focus. Politics should be about doing the “right” thing for you and I. People have lost track of that fact. As the bible warned us; we see ourselves in a world where a lie has become the truth and the truth has become a lie. I will always speak the truth and do the right thing, even when it is not popular. And if I don’t have the answer to a problem. I research successful solutions and work to resolve the cause. When we fix the cause, the problem goes away. I can make a difference in the direction of this country and Missouri. It is time for the good Christian people to step up and set things right. We need America to be “One Nation Under God” again. We can start this here in our state and Take Missouri Back!
  • Economy

    Between 2012 and 2015, Missouri saw significant out-migration, losing roughly 5,000 to 7,000 residents annually. However, since 2019, there has been a steady inflow of migrants, peaking with 11,178 in 2021. From 2012 to 2021, Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) outflows exceeded inflows by 3.9%, indicating an overall outflow of income from Missouri. A negative net AGI in Missouri implies that higher-income earners are leaving the state, while relatively lower-income individuals are arriving. As you can see we have problems. Our solution? Review and implement the fiscal programs used in South Dakota. They lead the nation in most categories... GDP grew by 11%. Personal income grew by 9.2%.

    Unemployment 1.9%, lowest in American history.
  • Rural Healthcare Rural areas have different healthcare challenges than cities and suburbs. Hospitals and clinics struggle to make ends meet and find doctors willing to live and work nearby. Many specific medical issues such as mental health and drug abuse are more severe in rural areas. We need to devote more attention and resources to getting rural residents access to affordable, high-quality healthcare. We need to make it mandatory when receiving treatment that those without insurance get signed up for Medicaid. This expansion would result in the federal government paying 90% of the costs. Instead of Missouri paying 100%. We would drop to 10% while also increasing revenue for the state of Missouri.
  • Taxes Everyone will agree they have gotten way out of line, from personal to state to real estate – you name it - all too high. To much paying several different taxes on each dollar we earn. What we need is a flat tax where everyone pays the same rate, for example 10%, no deductions or loop holes, rich and poor treated the same. Corporations pay 15%. Eliminate state tax returns. Eliminate deduction loopholes. All income will be taxed equally, drastically increasing the overall tax burden on the middle class because corporations will be paying their fair share of taxes. This will increase revenue drastically. Then we reduce the department of revenue and remove sales tax. This will drastically cut expenses - a double win for you and I.
I am most passionate about "doing the right" thing and "always sticking with the truth".

Not listed in any specific ranking or priority
1. Economic Growth
2. Repair Rural Healthcare
3. Improved Education
4. Repair Infrastructure
5. God, Country and Family
6. Tax Reform
7. End Foreign countries and entities who are "enemies of our country" ownership of real estate and mineral/oil rights.
8. Always Pro-life
9. Always Pro-gun
10. End Federal Mandates on states
11. Refuse to enforce Federal laws that violate the Constitution of the United States
12. End illegal immigration in Missouri
13. Protect Missouri farmers and ranchers.

Too many to list here...
Jesus first and foremost. I also look up to the apostles and prophets. These were broken people who made a real difference. The stayed their course through all obstetrical and completed the task. Like us they felt defeated at times, tried to avoid obeying the Lord, made mistakes, face surmountable odds and more. But unlike most of us - they never gave up and found renewed hope in the Lord and fought the good fight!
Holy Bible.

Constitution of the United States.

Bill of Rights.
Honesty and Truth.

Standing their ground when others bend.

Representing the people, not special interest groups.
I am a leader. My graduate degree was in Technology Management. My thesis was "How to create championship teams". I know how to get people together and get things done. I am always the first boots on the ground and the last boots to leave. I lead by example. People respect this and join up to follow me.
I "always listen" to all points of view, even those I do not agree with. When people put their heads together to solve a problem, we will come up with the best solution. Then once determined - stay the course "do not change" unless an affecting circumstance changes. This is a problem for politicians, they sway with the wind and do not stay the course to do the right thing. I won't do that, I will continue until it's done.
Work to accomplish what you promised.

Do not hide agendas.
Always speak the truth.
Represent your voters.

Lead your fellow politicians to accomplish the right things.
I made a difference.
Don't need fame or wealth - been there done that. It's not what most people think...
Before my biological dad abandoned us, we were having a water fight in the house. Somebody dropped a glass from the ground floor to the basement and it broke. I ran through the glass and severely cut my foot. I spent several weeks in a full foot cast and hobbled to kindergarten.
Darn your site lost this page and the next... I'll try to remember what I wrote!

My first job was on a working Colorado ranch, where at the age of 11, I "finally" started getting paid $1 a day, during the summer only, for 14 hour days. Then at the age of 12, I started cutting poles and getting $0.25 per poll for cutting them down, trimming them up, stacking them in a pile and loading them. I was cutting 200 a day and making $50 per day. I thought I was rich! :) But this only lasted a few weeks then back to a buck a day.
On the dude ranch in Wyoming, I got to keep the few tips I got from the guests.

My first outside job was planting trees for the forest service on piece work.
The bible. It's God word to us a direct connection to His will. There are great stories of trial and success. It's the roadmap for our life here on earth and how to be ready for Eternity.

I like the fellowship of the ring and hobbit series
I like apologetic, science and how to books.

I am a writer myself with a published novel and two children's books. I am a screen writer and internationally known poet. I love writing, working on some important books now.
Jesus, but that's impossible. So, I'd like to be like one of the prophets in the bible. They were broken people who made a difference. Like us, some tried to ignore what they were called to do, some felt defeated, some faced insurmountable odds - yet they all achieved their goal, often with far greater results than they expected. I wasn't easy but they stayed the course and fought the good fight!
I been working hard on my outreach websites. The songs I'm adding have touched my heart.

In Jesus Name (God Of Possible) - Katy Nicole
By Our Love - King and Country

and others.
Sin of course.

At different times in my life there were different struggles.
As a young family we were poor trying to get started and we struggled to make ends meet.
In the 1980's I struggled to keep a job in construction, when there were no jobs.
When our kids were teenagers, we struggled as parents.
When I entered the ministry I struggled with the challenges, onslaught by those who I was trying to reach and walking alone to name a few. I stayed the course, but it hasn't been easy.

Today, I struggle with the direction our country is going in. This needs to change or we'll destroy our county.
Governor keeps poor bills in check, as should the legislature.
Both should work together when drafting bills for the state.
Doing the right thing and NOT being swayed by PC and liberal agendas.

Getting back on track with Christian and conservative values.
Protecting the residents and families of Missouri, who are American citizens.
Budget.
Economy and growth.
Education.
Agriculture.

Illegal Immigration.
No, I believe solid experience in business will go a lot further.

We should also come from the middle class having lived and done the things that our voters have done.

I actually see experience in government and politics as a setback, due to the rampant actions our current politicians have taken.
Yes, a "true leader" will grow and foster a championship team. This was my thesis in graduate school.

I believe as leaders we should be the first with boots on the ground and the last to leave.
We should lead by example and keep our word.

However, we should never compromise doing the right thing by swapping votes with poor policy.
I like Trump and some of the US senators, like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruse.
Yes, in the future I will continue to serve the people at the state and national levels.
Yes, too many to list.
Human trafficking and abortion remorse have significantly touched me.
I don't have one. I like good, clean humor. I don't like stupid humor or slap stick. The humor needs to intelligent and have a point.
Yes, in the event of a "real" emergency. The southern and northern borders are a great example. However, if the legislative branch can't get their tails in gear to do this on time to make a difference, then they'll just have to follow-up "after it's been done" with their approval or repeal. Emergencies need immediate attention and sadly politicians aren't very fast...
I am already drafting them.

The "Clear and Present Danger Abortion Bill".

I will also introduce a bill to set a "mandatory" sentence for sex/human trafficking. AND many other bills...
There are several in progress. Most of them will release on specific dates.
I am also waiting for several surveys to vet me on when they will be sent. Most places don't send out the survey until "after registration with the state" and takes them time to get the survey out.
Listed in alphabetical order not ranking. I will have to investigate each committee in detail to focus on the ones needed.

General list of interests:
Appropriations - Education
Children, families and health
Civil and administrative law
Commerce and economic development
Education - elementary and secondary
Ethics
Joint committee on economic development, policy & planning
Special committee on sportsmanship, safety and firearms
Public safety, law enforcement and veteran affairs

Social services, medicaid and elderly
I believe that all legislative actions by our representatives in government should be listed in plain facts, not lawyer speak or hidden agendas, so the people they represent can know what they are doing.

I believe that if an official breaks the law, they should be prosecuted - Laws apply to ALL people, including the elite.
I believe that the government "should NOT be allowed" to pass a bill that violates our US Constitution or Bill of Rights.
I believe the Federal Government needs to be put in check and "quit trying to dictate state law". It is out-of-their-jurisdiction.

The law is the law, do NOT change it to pacify those who complain the most.
