| Collapse all
- Having previously worked in healthcare I am distraught by the high cost of life saving medications when the cost to manufacture these are pennies per dose. Healthcare should not be a luxury but a fundamental right. When our citizens are healthy, they are able to focus on what's important. Being healthy enough to pursue a career, start a family, travel and have fun will also have a positive outcome for the economy and general outlook on life for our communities.
- I am here to stand up for what my constituents need and make all voices heard. We are all the same and deserve to live a life rich in kindness, love, and grace. Ensuring that the resources we do have are going where they are needed, such as healthcare for all, making sure children are provided for, keeping families together and safe, providing sick time, and encouraging our youth to dream big and achieve bigger! Together we can do anything we put our minds to. We just need someone to help lead us in that direction and I will be that person.
- One of the most under appreciated and underpaid jobs in the state is teachers. The children are our future, why are we constantly asking them to do more with less? I plan on looking into the budget to see where our tax dollars are going, why we are not accepting the help being given, and supporting all methods of educating the future. Not only do our public schools need help, but so do schools like the Missouri School for the Deaf in Fulton Missouri. I will support all of Missouri's children in getting an education that works for them.
