My passion is reforming education. Missouri currently ranks number 41 out of 50 in fourth-grade reading proficiency. For our state and communities to succeed, it is imperative that our next generation be highly skilled. Without the ability to read and comprehend material, we cannot be successful. This is why education reform is my number one passion.
My top legislative priority is education reform. I will achieve this priority by filing a bill on December 1, 2026, to mirror the Mississippi legislation that propelled their students from last to number nine in fourth-grade reading.
