I have worked in healthcare for over 33 years and it is through my advocacy work here that I began to move into running for office.
Better access for all to healthcare. Rural hospitals need to be protected and there are only three counties in the state that have enough doctors. We need to examine what policies in Missouri government are driving family doctors and general surgeons away and address them in order to recruit more physicians.

No donations and no endorsements. My campaign is entirely self-funded and community-backed, free from special interest endorsements and donor influence. In the state Senate, my only priority will be delivering real results for District 2 families, independent of political pressure or backroom deals.
Positive politics. I believe politics should be about progress. My campaign is built on a foundation of positive politics. Focus on solving issues and don't waste time just criticizing your opponents. Practical solutions over attacks. Listening to our neighbors.
