VOTE411 Voter Guide

I am passionate about public education, infrastructure, fair labor practices and tax policy. Tax policy is a high priority because Jefferson City has created a revenue shortfall they seem insistent on making worse. Missourians of all economic levels, not corporations and special interests, need representatives interested in seeing them thrive economically.

I will be one of the new members of the House breaking the supermajority. This allows me to negotiate across the aisle to produce better results. While it's hard to pick just one area of the many suffering, public education funding is the most pressing. It directly impacts working families, our children's access to opportunity, property values and Missouri's future.

I serve as the managing director of MO Tax Relief Now because I am passionate about protecting taxpayers. Our organization has saved Missouri seniors millions through the senior property tax freeze and I have worked to stop local tax increases in House District 110. Legislators should always remember the taxpayers who fund the government.

I have spent years knocking on doors for local candidates and talking with voters. My top priority will be bringing their concerns to the Capitol. The bills I file will be constituent priorities. I have built strong relationships with elected officials and grassroots leaders across Missouri that will help me advocate for District 110 on day one.

Public safety: St. Louis city policeman David Lee was killed on Interstate 70 by an illegal alien on meth, cocaine and alcohol. The subject had a prior conviction. Twice I pulled over subjects on the terrorist watch list and had to release them. We need cooperation between ICE, Homeland Security and local police to protect our citizens and remove criminal illegal aliens.

I worked in the riots in Ferguson and St. Louis. Police leadership did a terrible job and allowed four city police officers to be shot and David Dorn to be murdered. In Ferguson two officers were shot; mass looting and numerous arsons occurred. We must train every cadet in police academies in crowd control, designate incident scene commanders and prepare for future riots.
