Dr. Wilson provides healthcare services primarily for young children or adults with special needs.
Paul understands the challenges of healthcare in America today and is incredibly passionate about improving access to healthcare. He's also strongly focused on ensuring equity among all Americans, a belief that gun rights are part of securing our fundamental freedoms, and fighting for our delicate democratic institutions and country during an especially contentious moment in the American story.
His goal is to make Missouri’s third district a key player on nationally relevant and important issues that strengthen the middle class worker and to help Missouri families.
He believes deeply in strong workers rights, crafting a sustainable and forward-looking infrastructure plan that benefits Missourians, improving education and training opportunities, and crafting a tomorrow that secures voting rights and democracy for all Americans.
As a full-time professional dad with a young daughter and equally busy full-time employed wife, he understands the stresses of providing for a family while maintaining a busy schedule.- I believe that access to healthcare is vitally important. Early prevention is an important driver for cost reductions- whether vaccine initiatives, low-cost or free testing, or drug pricing/insurance regulations which drive cost down.
Missourians need access to hospitals and clinics in their cities. not hours away. Missouri’s healthcare system is in crisis, especially for rural constituents. I believe that healthcare should also remain between the provider and patient; including access to reproductive rights and abortion.
I believe the FDA's recent changes to drug development testing requirements for the benefit of big business at the cost to your safety must be repealed. - The American economy is struggling. American families are facing crippling inflation led by punitive tariffs and supply chain disruptions as well as stagnant wages and loss of jobs. Missouri's farmers and ranchers are especially hard hit by these reckless policies and bailouts to foreign countries. I support regulations against widespread data center creation at the cost of our environment and a significant cost burden for power and water. I support workers rights and strong union representation. I support Federal Reserve independence. I support the right to repair for farmers and small businesses. I demand accountability from this administration for their their wanton fraud, abuse, and grift of American taxpayer money.
- A strong education is the key to equity, social stability, and economic mobility. Access to high-quality childcare is as well. Missouri loses $1.35 billion dollars a year in lost productivity due to a lack of adequate childcare. Every child deserves access to quality pre-K-12 programs as well as nutrition and physical development programs to nourish the mind and body. We need increased childcare and school development; increased teacher and daycare pay incentives; and strong school-based nutrition. Our public universities and colleges need funding to maintain their competitive developmental edge in a global market.
