Incumbent?
Yes
I pride myself in being a problem solver. I have concentrated especially on protecting property rights by passing the "squatters bill" and getting passed in the House the "keeping crooks from stealing your house" bill.
Getting the "keeping crooks from stealing your house" bill passed in both houses. Getting the "making adoption easier out of foster care" bill passed by the Senate this next session. The artificial intelligence legislation that is a model for the country. The food pantry tax credit bill.

I am passionate about our public school system and ensuring that it is fully funded and supported. I believe that accessible, quality education is the key to building our communities and ensuring the future of not only our kids, but our state as a whole.
My top priority is addressing rising costs in Missouri. I would focus on areas where state government can make a real difference, like making housing more accessible, expanding childcare, investing in good jobs and making sure taxpayer money is used wisely.
