  • For years, politicians have taken rural Missouri for granted — showing up for our votes but not our lives. We deal with crumbling roads, underfunded schools, unaffordable and inaccessible healthcare, and lawmakers more focused on culture-war headlines than real problems. I’m running because our community deserves someone who fights for us, not special interests. I’ll work to bring resources home, improve infrastructure, and make sure rural voices finally get the respect and investment we deserve.
  • Working families in our district are being squeezed while the well-connected get tax breaks and special treatment. That’s not an economy — it’s a system rigged against ordinary people. I’ll fight for policies that lift up our communities: affordable healthcare close to home, apprenticeships and trade opportunities, support for small businesses, expanded broadband, and wages that allow people to build stable lives. When working people win, Missouri wins. We deserve an economy that works for us, not just the wealthy.
  • People here deserve leaders who show up, tell the truth, and put the community first. We’re tired of division, distractions, and politicians who use anger to avoid solving real issues. I will work with anyone if it helps our district, and stand up to anyone who puts special interests ahead of the people who live and work here. My focus is simple: honest leadership, practical solutions, and a government that serves working Missourians — not the other way around.
I’m passionate about policies that lift up working people and give every Missourian a fair chance. Too many families are struggling while wealthy insiders write the rules, but I believe we can build something better. I want to raise wages, guarantee affordable healthcare for every Missourian, and strengthen public schools with real opportunities in apprenticeships and skilled trades. I’m committed to rebuilding rural infrastructure and creating a government that serves our communities with honesty, dignity, and hope for the future.
