My passion is reforming education. Missouri currently ranks number 41 out of 50 in fourth-grade reading proficiency. For our state and communities to succeed, it is imperative that our next generation be highly skilled. Without the ability to read and comprehend material, we cannot be successful. This is why education reform is my number one passion.
My top legislative priority is education reform. I will achieve this priority by filing a bill on December 1, 2026, to mirror the Mississippi legislation that propelled their students from last to number nine in fourth-grade reading.

Affordability: Missouri families are struggling with high costs. Making life more affordable is my top priority. Public education: I want fully-funded public schools and to keep public money in public education. Protecting voter power: power belongs to the people, not politicians. I will defend the citizen initiative process and support our unions and first responders.
As your state representative, I will fight every day to lower the cost of living and ease the financial burden on families in District 72. I will relentlessly oppose any new taxes or tax increases that only benefit the wealthiest Missourians and I will fiercely defend voters’ rights to push back against harmful policies that hurt working families.
