What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
Public Education, Rural Healthcare, and Infrastructure
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
This campaign is about bringing people together to reach the solutions that we all know are possible. Good ideas transcend partisanship. I’m working to build people up, strengthen communities, and make Missouri a better place to live and work. In order to do this we must make sure our public schools and healthcare are fully funded. We must work to revitalize our infrastructure especially in the rural parts of our state. Small farmers and small businesses are the backbone of our economy and our government should ensure that Missouri is a place that fosters opportunities for these groups.
