I am passionate about strengthening public education, supporting working families, expanding affordable housing, improving public safety and increasing access to health care. Having served my community for years, I've seen how these issues affect everyday families. I believe government should create opportunities, remove barriers and work for everyone.
My top priority is investing in working families by protecting public education, expanding economic opportunities and improving community safety. I will support policies that fully fund public schools, strengthen workforce development and increase affordable housing, and I will work across party lines to deliver practical solutions that improve everyday life.

The abortion issue, specifically Amendment 3, because it is murdering innocent human beings in barbaric ways. View Congressman Brandon Gill on YouTube regarding abortion. Senior citizens (including veterans), to me are not treated with the respect they are due. Many of them have paid it forward and have died before they reap the benefits of their harvest that they are due.
For the abortion issue, there is urgent Missouri life legislation that should be introduced to the people. There are other alternatives to abortion: birth control, abstinence and adoption. These alternatives are never discussed and should be. Women and men need to take responsibility for their actions. I want to help offer stronger legislation for seniors and veterans.

Stronger schools, stronger families and stronger communities. I have worked and lived in the community I serve for over 35 years. I knew back in 1999 when I ran for office for a local position on the school board, and was elected as the first African American for that position, it was me leading with a purpose, a passion and a vision for stronger communities.
I had about 25 legislative bills filed; this past session, four were third-read and passed in the House, and one made it to the governor's desk. My priorities and actions are to continue with my legislation that fights for education, families and seniors, as well as the economy, jobs and community safety.
