My top priorities are 1) we must protect individual rights. Women's bodily autonomy, the right to health care of their choosing and reproductive freedom must be assured. 2) We need to continue to codify equal rights for all, including measures protecting the LGBTQ+ and people of color. 3) We must more adequately fund public education. Our children deserve nothing less.

Public funds should go only to public schools. Adequate state funding of public education should reflect the cost of actually teaching each student. It must take into account different communities' property tax bases available to generate funds and transportation costs. Rural districts with less of a local tax base and higher transportation costs need more state support.

I believe strongly in smaller government and lower taxes. I will keep fighting to lower the burden that government places on the people of Missouri. I am proudly pro-life and I am honored to be rated A by the NRA-PVF (Political Victory Fund). I will always stand up for our conservative ideals in the state Senate.

My top priority is to ensure we keep the budget balanced without any tax increases. Inflation is wrecking the economy and we simply cannot put additional burdens on Missouri families and small businesses.
