I am passionate about updating our public-school systems. It's time they be modernized, funded and told the truth about our nation, the good the bad and the ugly. We must ensure the kids grow up into fully functioning reasoning adults that know right from wrong.
Tax cuts. We must end personal property tax/estate tax, lower the gas tax by 12.5 cents per gallon. We must put money back into the hands of the people, so they aren't struggling paycheck to paycheck. Lastly, death penalty to child rape. These are some of my top priorities.

Education and healthcare are my passions because strong schools and quality healthcare attract families, businesses, and opportunity to Missouri. I support investing in public education, retaining qualified teachers, protecting rural schools, and ensuring access to affordable healthcare and emergency services so every Missourian can thrive, regardless of where they live.
My top priorities are ensuring District 16 residents are heard and receive honest, transparent information. I will fight to protect education and healthcare funding and services, especially in rural communities. I support innovative partnerships that strengthen local resources while protecting families, and I will work to ensure public education funding remains a priority.
