| Collapse all
I have 20+ years of health care experience working as a registered nurse in the ICU and as an Executive at a global health care information technology company. I have been advocating my entire career for people from the most vulnerable patients in the hospital to the teams I led.
For the past four years I have had the privilege to serve House District 25 as their State Rep. I am currently the only registered nurse serving in the General Assembly. I am proud of what I have accomplished. My colleagues and I successfully stood up to the Republicans and their attempt to destroy the initiative petition process, and because of that, Missourians will have the chance to overturn our state’s total abortion ban this November. I have sponsored several bills that have been signed into law addressing our state’s mental health crisis, extending postpartum care, and increasing access to health care. My experience in the House, leadership skills, and health care background uniquely position me to continue to lead Missouri forward and promote a better future for all Missourians as State Senator.- Health Care including protecting reproductive health care: Defending a woman’s right to choose while ensuring full access to reproductive Health Care is imperative. As a nurse, I will not back down on protecting access to reproductive health care.
- Gun Violence Prevention: We need common-sense gun reforms including universal background checks and red flag laws. As a nurse who worked in a trauma center, I saw first hand the impact gun violence has on victims and their families. Gun violence prevention and promoting gun safety are top priorities for me.
- Protecting and Promoting Kansas City: Kansas City is where it’s at! I’m so proud to be a resident of this community. The Republican supermajority in Jefferson City is constantly trying to pick on us. As State Senator for District 7, I will stand up for our city and deliver results for our communities.
Elected officials: Sen. Tracy McCreery; State Reps. Emily Weber, Ashley Bland Manlove, Anthony Ealy Jr, Jamie Johnson, Ashley Aune, Maggie Nurrenbern, Eric Woods, Yolanda Young, Jerome Barnes, Aaron Crossley, Kemp Strickler, and Keri Ingle; and City Councilmen Wes Rogers and Jonathan Duncan.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
