1) Policy that helps our region thrive: a mixture of public safety, economic development and tax policy. 2) Maintaining safe communities lays the foundation to retain and attract population and businesses. 3) Creating regulatory and tax policy to ease the burden on business and allow citizens to keep more of their money creates prosperous growth.
A top priority is our tax policy coinciding with our state budget. I will advocate for tax policy that relieves the economic hardships on our seniors and most vulnerable. While providing tax relief, we must also balance a realistic budget that does not hurt these populations. We must support education, first responders and basic infrastructure needs within the budget.

People live here for our public schools. We need state dollars to actually fund them and to stop funding political experiments for private schools. When the state doesn't provide full funding to the Lindbergh, Rockwood, Kirkwood and Affton districts, our local communities pick up the burden, placing it on seniors and working families.
Securing full state education funding for our district. I'd fight to increase K-12 appropriations in the budget and block every voucher and charter expansion bill that comes up. The state needs to meet its funding obligations so our schools aren't forced to raise property taxes on seniors and working families. We must fund our public schools, not political experiments.
