Affordability, public education and transparency are my priorities. Those in Jefferson City want to shift the tax burden onto working Missourians to benefit the wealthy. Life should be more affordable, not less. Quality public schools build a brighter Missouri and transparency keeps government accountable to the people.
Affordability is my top priority. Working families in House District 105 are stretched thin while Jefferson City moves to shift the tax burden onto working Missourians through a sales tax increase that benefits the wealthy few. I will fight for policies that put money back into working families' pockets.
