Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Gregg Bush. I have lived in Columbia for 18 years and have loved every minute of it. Seeing the amazing community here and all the opportunities afforded to my 3 kids, I know Columbia is worth fighting for. As a nurse, I know what care means and I promise to care for Columbia as someone with a heart, head and spine to stand up for us.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Healthcare workers are one of the largest groups in Columbia, yet they are sorely underrepresented in Jefferson city - when elected, I will be the only nurse in the lower house. As a nurse, I have seen the effects of extremist policies on healthcare workers and patients. We deserve healthcare professionals making medical policies not extremist politicians and I know that better than anyone.As a union member of many years, I will fight for workers, their families and small business owners to make sure Columbia is a place to thrive for everyone.I have three public school educated children as well as going to public school my self. Watching the opportunities afforded to my kids make me so grateful to Columbia Public Schools and I promise to protect them.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am excited to get down to Jeff City and be an advocate for healthcare professionals and their patients in all of my legislative pursuits. That is my number one priority, followed closely by protecting working families and our public schools.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

We need someone with a head, to be knowledgeable about their fields, a heart, someone with empathy to their constituents first, and a spine to stand up against extremist attacks against our rights.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I began my healthcare career as a janitor in the ICU. I worked through nursing school and it is why I am who I am today. It's not my first job, but it was my first job on my journey to being a nurse.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I am the only Union endorsed candidate in House District 50. SEIU Mo-Kan, which supports service industry workers and LiUNA 955 were the first to endorse. Since then I have received a gun sense candidate distinction from Moms Demand Action and a Mental Health and certified with Mental Health Now as a Mental Health Candidate.
