Because I am passionate about Missourians having lives they deserve; lives that include safe housing, good jobs or comfortable retirement, strong schools and accessible, affordable health care, I am equally passionate about policies that support all of these areas, and I feel those are education, childcare and fair tax policies
Public schools need to be fully funded. As a new legislator I would continue to build on relationships I established with pro-education legislators while a school board member so I could effectively communicate and advance pro-public school priorities through supporting or introducing legislation.

Occupation
Fire captain, J.C.F.D., retired
I am passionate about public safety, economic opportunity, affordable healthcare, and protecting taxpayers. After 25 years as a firefighter, I learned that strong communities depend on safe neighborhoods, good jobs, and responsible government. I support practical, commonsense policies that strengthen families and create opportunities for all Missourians.
My top priority is making Missouri more affordable for working families. I will support responsible budgeting, lower taxes where sustainable, reduce unnecessary regulations, strengthen workforce development, and expand access to independent healthcare providers to promote competition, lower costs, and improve patient choice.
