Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a native of southwest Missouri and graduated from Glendale High School, Drury University, and University of Missouri - Columbia School of Law. I am an attorney with a solo practice based in Springfield with a focus in employment law. I mainly represent plaintiffs in cases involving workplace discrimination, harassment, and wage and hour claims. I believe that eleted officials should be accountable to the people they represent and work to benefit all of their voters, rather than special interests and wealthy donors.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• All Missourians should have access to quality healthcare, regardless of income level.
• All Missourians should be able to earn a living wage and be protected against discrimination and retaliation in the workplace.
• Our children should have access to quality education regardless of where they live or their parents' income.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about protecting the rights and protections of workers. The people of this state support strong unions, good wages, and protections against discrimination. The Republican party, meanwhile, has worked to strip these very rights away from workers. I support expanding access to Medicaid, which expand access to healthcare all over the state. I support a strong and well-funded public education system, with good pay and benefits for teachers.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, transparency and openness. An elected official should be able to answer questions and explain exactly why he or she voted on any particular issue.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

To improve the lives of the people that they represent.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. I've always enjoyed the whimsical and absurdist nature of the story.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

The governor and legislature should work together to pass legislation that is in the interests of all of the people.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

I favor a plan that keeps districts geographically compact, and does not favor one party over another.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
