Collapse all
|As a fifth-generation Missouri native I've seen my hometown of St. Charles grow from a rural bedroom community into a sprawling suburban region. I want to see our middle class prosper and grow while we work to build tight-knit communities- rural, urban, and suburban- that care about and support one another.
As a resident of Eureka, Mo. I live in a community that has evolved from a small working-class bedroom community in a mostly rural area just outside of St. Louis into a growing suburban community that honors the history and traditions of the community while also making space for new development.
I believe in- and strongly support- Democratic values such as making Healthcare affordable and available to every single U.S. citizen, creating jobs that pay a living wage or better, supporting the small businesses that make up over 99% of Missouri's businesses, defending Women's Reproductive Rights and access to Reproductive care, and ensuring Justice and Equality to minorities, LGBTQ individuals, the elderly, disabled, and infirm.
If elected I will honor Missouri's State Motto: Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto- Let the Welfare of the People be the Supreme Law, and advocate for policies that improve the lives of the people in the 88th House District, the St. Louis region, and the state of Missouri.- We must work to make sure that every working Missourian has the opportunity to earn a living wage. A multifaceted approach to creating more jobs that pay a living wage in the state of Missouri must include supporting our small businesses and their efforts to grow and expand, supporting our public schools so that our workers of tomorrow have a strong academic foundation whether they choose to pursue post-secondary education, the trades, or pursue business as an entrepreneur. We must work to revitalize our struggling communities while building on our successes and expanding the prosperity in and around our more successful and affluent communities.
- We must work to make sure that every Missouri resident has access to quality, affordable Healthcare. Every single resident of Missouri needs access to quality, affordable Healthcare, and affordability and access doesn't just affect the poor. While Biden Administration initiatives are helping to bring down the cost of medications, middle class families are still facing rising costs for Healthcare, not to mention challenges to access Healthcare in many parts of rural Missouri. In addition, while Missouri voters approved Medicaid Expansion for our state just a few years ago, many qualified Missouri residents are challenged to access those services as a result of poor governance and administration, and this must be remedied.
- We must support, defend, and properly fund our public schools statewide as well as make sure that our teachers earn a respectable professional salary. As of 2024, nearly 30% of Missouri's public school districts are on 4-day weeks as a means to meet funding obligations, not as a means to better educate Missouri's children. While we're fortunate to be able to invest in making our Rockwood Schools one of the top school districts in Missouri, many rural districts lack sufficient local and state funding and they're suffering as a result, and we can and must do better.

Kiehne answered the question, "What is your political philosophy?" on Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form. Below is his response:
“ | I'm running for office because I feel that my current representatives in our State Legislature do not represent the best interests of myself, my family or most residents of Missouri. If elected I will advocate for universal access to quality, affordable education, access to quality, affordable healthcare, nurturing clean energy industries and for a fair, living wage for all working people of Missouri. I want to advocate for our teachers and students who have had to face the unfortunate results of underfunding our schools. As a longtime foster parent and advocate I look forward to the opportunity to reform our foster care system and advocate for more programs to help address the needs of at-risk children and families. As a rural resident I will sponsor and support policies that will protect our family farmers and the land, air and water that we all depend on for life. I will also advocate to provide broadband internet access to our rural communities as well as more access to post-secondary education and technical training. I will support organized labor and reject attempts to break unions and cut pay and benefits for workers in Missouri. As a straight, white male with a black wife and both white and black children as well as LGBTQ friends and family members I will advocate for justice for ALL residents of Missouri and I will reject policies that seek to discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, ethnicity or sexual identity. I want to make Missouri a state that's welcoming to business and residents that welcomes a diverse array of industries and individuals to make our state stronger, healthier and more prosperous.[3] | ” |
