Education has been one of my top priorities. As a chemistry and physics teacher for 30+ years I believe in public education and its ability to change a person's life. I also have worked to protect women and children by working to pass anti-sex trafficking legislation. I was the chair of the Statewide Council Against Minor Sex Trafficking 2022-2023,
We must protect rural farmland from encroachment by power companies and LLC's looking to exploit our open and relatively inexpensive land and lax regulations.

Education, better educated, means better jobs, more pay, better life. Stop private school vouchers.
Stop dark money in Missouri's politics. Make politicians work for the people. Keep government out of personal life choices. The government has no purpose in private lives. Healthcare for all. Cutting funding for healthcare hurts rural areas that are already struggling.
Increase public school funding. Missouri currently ranks 49th in the nation for student funding. I will work to end private school vouchers and make sure that (voucher) money is returned to public schools. Missouri ranks 49th in first year teacher's salary, and 48th in average teacher's salary. We must invest more in our public schools.

Getting money out of politics must happen first to make any meaningful progress. Education and healthcare must be funded for a healthy future. Our government should work for the people, not the billionaires, corporations or corrupt politicians.
Getting money out of politics. Defining in law that corporations are not people and money isn't speech. At state level, with laws similar to Hawaii's, and Federally by signing MO on to the "We the People" constitutional amendment and working with other states to do the same. This will help clear the road to fund education, healthcare and other programs for the people.

Occupation
Farming
As a fifth-generation farmer, I will fight hardest for our rural way of life: protecting family farmland from eminent domain abuse, funding rural schools, defending conservative values, and standing up to the establishment and special interests in Jefferson City. Our land, our kids and our conservative values are worth fighting for, regardless of who's pushing back.
Protecting private property rights and ending the abuse of eminent domain by out-of-state, for-profit corporations seizing Missouri farmland. No family should lose their land to a corporate land grab. I'll lead a constitutional amendment through the Senate, building a rural coalition and putting the final say in the hands of Missouri voters, where it belongs.
