| Collapse all
- Quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare is every Missourian’s right. But every year Missouri families must make increasingly difficult decisions for how they prioritize spending on prescription drugs and medical bills over the basic costs of living. At the same time, the Republican-led House has left millions of federal dollars on the table meant for expanding healthcare access to Missourians. Their inaction means less healthy communities, higher premiums for those with coverage, and the loss of hospitals, especially in rural areas. As your state representative, I’ll support common sense measures like expanding Medicaid, so no Missourian is forced to choose between a decent job and keeping their healthcare.
- Every person should have the autonomy to make decisions about their body and their life. Republicans have passed extreme trigger language, banning abortion in Missouri, even in the case of rape or incest, and only allowing termination in the case where a mother's life is in grave danger. Mothers die from childbirth in Missouri in numbers far greater than the rest of the industrialized world, and instead of promoting healthcare, Missouri legislators have placed burdensome restrictions on it. As your state rep, I will stand with women for the right to make the best decisions about their healthcare for their own lives.
- Every Missouri child should have access to free, quality public education regardless of their zip code. As your representative, I will work to strengthen our public schools and fully fund our commitment to our kids. I will support universal early childhood education, because investing in our kids from an early age is the best way for us to invest in our future. I will also support investment in higher education and workforce training, to ensure all Missourians have the opportunity to gain the skills to compete in our economy.
I am also deeply passionate about protecting workers in the State of Missouri. We have some of the lowest wages in the country. Once elected, I will fight to protect and further collective bargaining and raise prevailing wages.
