Occupation Business owner, retired
I am passionate about supporting small businesses because they create jobs, strengthen our communities and drive economic growth. I believe education is the pathway to opportunity and a successful future. I want to see St. Louis thrive as a growing economic engine. I strongly support law enforcement and safe neighborhoods. I am guided by values of faith, family and life.
My top priority in 2027 is making government more efficient and responsive. I'll reduce red tape, require timely building permits and fight burdensome real estate and personal property taxes. These reforms will lower costs, encourage investment and help Missouri families and small businesses.
