Biographical Information

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about and why?

What would be your top priority for legislative action in 2025? Briefly discuss how you would address this priority.

Incumbent? YES or NO No
I am passionate about protecting our public schools. Rewarding work over wealth, lowering taxes for all Missourians, and making sure healthcare is affordable, accessible, and private.
That would be lowering taxes for every Missourian. I would do this by filing legislation to make the state sales tax on food, diapers and feminine hygiene products zero. This would be immediately followed by legislation to expand the A+ program to include the first two years at any Missouri public university or college.
