Building safe, resilient and sustainable communities with nationally competitive schools, and supporting first responders, resourced services and economic opportunities are my passions. In my career, I've brought national resources to communities across the country. Now I want to apply my skills and experience to helping Missouri, my home.
My top priority is to better secure the most critical services of our community including first responders, teachers and infrastructure. I would accomplish this through: 1) expanding support for first responders while they are on the force and when they retire; 2) increasing salaries and education resources for teachers; and 3) making infrastructure more resilient.
