All my life I have been interested in government. Government and history are overlapping subjects. My first love was history, and that morphed into a love of government. How we come together to make decisions has an enormous effect on all of our lives. I learned young that our country has numerous flaws, but that they can be remedied through good works, and more importantly, good policy. Once I realized professional baseball was not in my future, I decided from a relatively early age to live my life in such a way that I might be able to serve my community someday. I exposed myself to ideas that were different than those with which I was already familiar. I became friends with people with very different backgrounds. I traveled. I worked in different industries. And through that, I grew up from the kid who lived in a single-wide trailer with his conservative family into a progressive man who appreciates the power of government to solve society's ills through cooperation and everyone being given a seat at the table of power.
  • We're fighting to give Missourians the tools they need to succeed.
  • Better education is the solution to a myriad of other complex issues our society faces.
  • Now is the time for millennials to step up and lead.
My platform is built around giving Missourians the tools they need to succeed. I believe those issues are better access to health care and education; better wages; and more affordable housing. All four issues are linked and give people the ability to satisfy Maslow's hierarchy of needs and lead productive and fulfilling lives beyond simple survival.
Missouri is a major battlefield in the culture war. Urban liberals and rural conservatives continually clash over social issues that provide major distinctions between the two parties. Each year, the legislature is bogged down while the Conservative majority introduces new bills to restrict abortion and proliferate guns, while bills to fix crumbling roads and fund schools that have resorted to 4 day school weeks go unaddressed. Democrats have been forced to play defense on terrible legislation instead of offering a progressive vision for Missouri. That is why we've chosen to focus our campaign on the tools that Missourians need to succeed; the issues that keep Missourians up at night.

We must expand medicaid and go further to provide more Missourians with affordable access to healthcare and stabilize rural hospitals. We must fully fund our education system and the education transportation system Missouri families rely on to get their kids to school. We must allow cities to pass minimum wage hikes so Missouri's workers earn a living wage. And we must expand access to affordable housing by reimplementing LIHTC and going further to ensure other avenues for affordable housing development. None of these have been high priorities for the legislature under Republican control, but they are the issues which Missourians would benefit from the most.
It is crucial to build relationships with other legislators, not only so you can work more effectively on legislation, but so you understand the unique challenges that face their constituency. We are all better for exposing ourselves to other people's challenges and other ways of thinking. It helps us to affirm our own beliefs and convictions and to change when we are wrong.
I hope to serve on the following committees: higher education, corrections and public institutions, ways and means, elementary and secondary education, judiciary, and economic development. I believe my experience on education issues, particularly higher education, will be of use to those committees. I hope to use my experience as an attorney to weigh in on issues that face our corrections system from that committee, as well as serve on judiciary to protect the Missouri court plan. I hope to serve on the economic development committee to champion affordable housing issues and the tax credits that are primarily used to fund such projects.
