St. Louis is off track—bills go unpaid despite a budget surplus. We need new leadership to fix past mistakes and move forward. I’ve built my career on fiscal responsibility, overseeing budgets on the Board of Aldermen and in the Missouri House. As a CEO and nonprofit leader, I tackled financial challenges head-on. I'm a fiscal hawk who watches out for city residents.
