| Collapse all
- As a mother, I want to work towards a Missouri that is a safe and inviting place to live and grow a family. If elected I will work to improve our public education system, increase access to affordable childcare, and assure fair wages, with the top earners paying their fair share. I will always lead with a focus on passing legislation that helps everyday working Missourians and their families, and I aim to work towards creating a state where children will choose to stay when they are grown.
- I believe all people deserve the right to be themselves, love who they love and make their own healthcare decisions. The government has no place in these matters and I will work to see that we correct the wrongs our past legislators have done, such as our total abortion ban, and I will work to see that we do not move any further backwards than we already have.
- I am committed to improving public safety. I was a Team Lead for my local Moms Demand Action chapter before running for office and I am a mother of two young children. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for our children and I want to work to make this state safer for everyone in it while also respecting our 2nd amendment rights.
