Our community thrives when we invest in its foundation: housing, healthcare and education. St. Louis faces a severe housing crisis; I will fight for options from no-barrier shelters to affordable homeownership. Healthcare is a human right every Missourian deserves. By fully funding public schools, we break the cycle of poverty and build a prosperous future.
In the environment we find ourselves in Missouri, it's impossible to pick just one, but my top priorities in the House continue to be to secure full funding for our public schools, economic development, public safety and passing commonsense gun safety laws, and fiercely defending fundamental civil rights for women and the LGBTQ+ community.
