Dear Cole County,
My commitment to public service was shaped by real-life responsibility, not politics. Raised with strong values rooted in family, faith, and community, I learned early the importance of hard work, accountability, and perseverance.
Like many Missourians, I understand the challenge of balancing work, family, and responsibility because I have lived it. Those experiences shaped my belief that success comes from opportunity, discipline, and personal responsibility, not government dependence.
I believe strong communities are built locally through families, churches, schools, and small businesses, not dictated from afar. That belief drives my commitment to principled conservative Republican leadership focused on accountability in government, fiscal responsibility, public safety, and policies that empower individuals rather than expand bureaucracy.
My platform prioritizes supporting Missouri’s state employees, strengthening food security through local partnerships, expanding workforce and trade opportunities, and protecting small businesses. I strongly support veterans, working families, safe childcare options, and responsible, age-appropriate mental health practices rooted in parental involvement and community standards.
If you have questions, concerns, or want to get involved, I’d love to hear from you. Call me at 573-616-0235.
Platform
As I build my campaign platform, one of my core priorities is supporting Missouri’s state employees and making their financial needs more manageable. This means partnering with local nonprofits and leveraging Missouri’s agricultural resources to strengthen food security and create sustainable safety nets that are rooted in community—not bureaucracy.
I support a phased transition away from supplemental programs like SNAP for able-bodied adults, while investing in pathways that help Missourians enter the workforce, trades, and nonprofit sectors. The goal is to cultivate a new generation of working-class Missourians who are empowered to build stable lives, contribute to their communities, and achieve long-term independence.
I believe in limiting unnecessary government intrusion and focusing on practical solutions that help small businesses keep their doors open. Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, and when they thrive, communities thrive.
Representing a large and diverse district means meeting the needs of the entire community. That includes honoring and supporting our veterans, who have sacrificed to protect not only Missouri, but our nation. It means recognizing that childcare is essential infrastructure—daycares play a critical role in ensuring families can work with the confidence that their children are safe and cared for.
It also means standing firm against illegal immigration and ensuring that Missouri residents have a solid foundation before facing unfair competition from those who enter outside of proper legal and apprenticeship pathways. Our responsibility is to protect opportunity, fairness, and stability for the people who already call our community home.
