As a lifelong resident of Callaway County, I’m running for the Missouri House of Representatives to fight for working families, rural communities, farmers, unions, and first responders across Mid-Missouri. My priorities include supporting public schools, protecting rural healthcare, lowering costs for working families, supporting local businesses, and strengthening public safety. I believe in practical, community-focused leadership that puts people before politics and gives rural Missourians a stronger voice in Jefferson City.

Prioritizing The Issues You Care About
Affordable and Accessible Healthcare
In rural areas, access to healthcare isn’t just about cost, it’s about distance and availability.
Families should not have to drive hours to see a doctor or delay care because they can’t afford it. I support protecting rural clinics and hospitals, lowering costs, and expanding access so people can...
In rural areas, access to healthcare isn’t just about cost, it’s about distance and availability.
Families should not have to drive hours to see a doctor or delay care because they can’t afford it. I support protecting rural clinics and hospitals, lowering costs, and expanding access so people can get care close to home.
Healthcare should be there when you need it, without putting your family under financial strain.
Strong Public Schools
Our public schools are the backbone of our communities. In small towns like ours, schools are more than buildings; they are where kids grow, families connect, and communities come together.

Our public schools are the backbone of our communities. In small towns like ours, schools are more than buildings; they are where kids grow, families connect, and communities come together.
I support fully funding our public schools, supporting our teachers, and keeping decision-making local. We need to invest in the schools we have so every child has the opportunity to succeed, no matter where they live.
Strong schools help build strong communities, and they deserve our full support.
Lowering Costs for Working Families
Families across our district are paying more for everyday essentials as groceries, gas, healthcare, and basic services while wages haven’t kept up.
I believe we need to focus on real relief for working people, not shifting more of the tax burden onto them. That means pushing back on policies...
Families across our district are paying more for everyday essentials as groceries, gas, healthcare, and basic services while wages haven’t kept up.
I believe we need to focus on real relief for working people, not shifting more of the tax burden onto them. That means pushing back on policies that raise costs at the doctor’s office, at the repair shop, or at the grocery store.
Working families shouldn’t be asked to carry more while others pay less. I will fight for fair, practical solutions that help people keep more of what they earn.
Supporting Local Communities
Small businesses and local workers are the heart of our economy. They keep our towns running and our communities strong.
I will work to support local businesses, invest in infrastructure, and make sure rural communities are not overlooked. That includes improving roads, expanding reliable internet access, and supporting economic...
Small businesses and local workers are the heart of our economy. They keep our towns running and our communities strong.
I will work to support local businesses, invest in infrastructure, and make sure rural communities are not overlooked. That includes improving roads, expanding reliable internet access, and supporting economic growth that benefits the people who already live here.
We don’t need one-size-fits-all solutions. We need policies that work for our communities.
Fair and Responsible Government
People deserve leaders who are honest, accountable, and focused on doing what’s right for their communities.
I believe in being transparent about decisions, listening to the people I represent, and putting community needs ahead of politics.
Public service should be about serving the public, not special interests.
First Responders and Law Enforcement
The people who keep our communities safe; law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, and corrections officers; take on difficult and often dangerous work every day.
In rural areas like ours, they cover large distances with limited resources. I believe they deserve strong support, including the funding, training, and equipment needed to...
The people who keep our communities safe; law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, and corrections officers; take on difficult and often dangerous work every day.
In rural areas like ours, they cover large distances with limited resources. I believe they deserve strong support, including the funding, training, and equipment needed to do their jobs safely.
We also need to address staffing challenges by supporting fair pay and helping departments recruit and retain qualified personnel.
Supporting public safety means standing behind the people who serve, and making sure no community is left behind.
