Inventory clerk
I am passionate about education, rural healthcare and food access, cost of living, and protecting the voice of the people. Too many Missourians feel like their needs are ignored and their voices do not count. I want to ensure working families have a seat at the table and that every community has access to the opportunities and services it needs to thrive and be heard.
My top priority is education funding. Our budget cannot be balanced on the backs of schools, especially in rural communities facing budget shortfalls. I would work to fully fund public education by finding responsible savings elsewhere, protecting education funding, and working with local schools to ensure students have the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

Education is a top priority. Setting our next generation up for success is a foundation level principal. Encouraging strong communities grown from strong families who base community standards on conservative principles. Reducing regulation to promote business and job growth. Responsible spending of the community's tax dollars sent to Jefferson City.
Funding education to ensure students do not fall behind. Also adding free market principles to tutoring programs so that struggling students can access additional resources to help them be successful outside of the standard learning environment.

As the former mayor of Jefferson City I am passionate about collaboration and working together. I worked hard to complete projects that led to economic growth and development. I am pro-life, pro-family, pro-farmer, pro-business. As a third-generation business owner we know what is best to be successful and I will work to cut waste so people can keep more of what they earn.
I am passionate about listening to the voice of the people and making sure they are heard. We need to remain strong in areas such as public safety, also making sure that our district has the infrastructure needed for success of families and businesses. I am not afraid to stand up and make tough decisions to deliver results.
