Education: if we do not educate our children, we are in trouble as a society. I believe local districts and parents are crippled by the bureaucrats who do not understand our community. We can do better in MO. Children and family: as a foster adopt parent, we must help families prosper and not be dependent on government. Tax reform: taxation should never be punitive.
Reining in wasteful spending and tightening our budgets to allow citizens to keep more of the money they earn. Freeing up our school systems and parents that are tethered to DESE's overreach. Promoting education models that are producing well-educated children. The MO Plan is not a balanced approach to choosing our judges and should be changed. Protecting our Constitution.
Public health, environmental law and more opportunities for the poor.
Health care access. At this point it's mostly just not standing in the way of Medicaid expansion. But we also need to be rebuilding hospitals in rural areas.
