| Collapse all
- Affordability - Every Missourian deserves the freedom to build a good life without being burdened by rising costs. Families are working harder than ever but falling further behind because the price of housing, healthcare, childcare, and groceries keeps climbing while wages stay flat. We must put working families first by lowering costs, expanding access to good-paying jobs, and making sure every family can afford the basics — not just to survive, but to thrive.
- Healthcare - Every Missourian deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare that covers them when they get sick or need to see a specialist. No one should lose their home or life savings to medical debt. I support expanding access through a public option and allowing Missourians to buy into Medicare before they turn 65. These reforms would increase competition, drive down premiums and deductibles, and make sure every family can afford the care they need.
- Retiring with Dignity - After a lifetime of hard work, every Missourian should be able to retire with dignity and security. No one should have to choose between paying for medicine, housing, or heat in their later years. We must protect Social Security and Medicare, defend pensions, and strengthen retirement benefits so that those who built this country can live their final years with stability and respect.
