I started my career as a high school English teacher and also spent a couple years working as a health literacy specialist. I was lucky enough to get to stay home with my kids for a while, and I had to entirely restart my career afterwards, when I moved into IT analysis and project management.
All of those experiences have brought me hope for a brighter future for myself, for my kids, and for my home, and a passion for bringing that future a little bit closer to now.
I am committed to better education funding, better access to healthcare, better access to childcare, safer schools for all children, protecting workers' rights, and protecting voters' rights. With your help, we can create a better future for Missouri.- Missouri schools deserve the money they need to serve kids 5 days a week with teachers that can afford to go home and not to a second job. This state is 50th in teacher pay and 49th in education funding, and all over the state, schools are moving to 4-day weeks for lack of funds. In a state with a 6 billion dollar surplus, public schools are struggling to keep teachers in the classroom. I vow to fight for our public schools, the ones my kids go to alongside yours. I will push to raise teacher pay, fully fund our schools, and legislate a 5-day school week, so that all kids in this state can get a full education and their parents can go to work 5 days a week without having to worry about what to do with their kids on the 5th day.
- Everyone gets sick or injured sometimes. We’re so lucky to have first responders and good doctors in Missouri to help us when that happens. Unfortunately, 19 hospitals in Missouri have closed in the last 10 years. All over the state, folk are struggling to get the care they need. When rural areas lose access to healthcare, the consequences are felt across the state. Suddenly, the number of patients in suburban and urban areas has gone up, but the number of doctors has stayed the same. We have longer wait-times and less doctors able to take new patients. I vow to increase Medicaid payments. I will push for a Medicaid process that is fast and easy, so that people who qualify can get the care they need.
- Missourians with a full-time job should be able to afford a place to live, food to eat, and money to spend on the small things that make life comfortable. They should also be able to stop working when they get older and still have all of the above. Unions have been incredibly important in making sure all workers have rights. Here in Missouri, our unions are the backbone of fighting for better worker pay, better benefits, and safer conditions. I vow to continue to support organized labor and against any efforts to weaken its pull. I also promise to champion all the workers who don’t have a union yet – for their right to fair living wages, their right to safety, and their right to organize without retaliation.
I have four kids of my own now. And the same motivation drives me. I want a better Missouri for them to grow up in, a Missouri they can be proud of and come home to after college. But I don’t just want it for them. I want it for my girl scouts. I want it for my kids’ friends and my neighbor’s kids. I want it for the kids I taught, who are now adults, too. I want it for kids I’ve never met because in every one of them, I see the future I want for my own family.
