Secretary of state

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m a mom who got mad. And there’s nobody who can get more things done than a mom on a mission. It’s a mission to fight for the future of our families. A future in jeopardy because of Joe Biden and the radical Left.

As a Missouri state senator, I represent Jefferson County.

I’ve visited the southern border to assess the catastrophic failure of Joe Biden’s open-border policies and believe we should deport illegal immigrants.

I believe our Second Amendment rights are non-negotiable.

Bidenomics and Bidenflation have destroyed our economy, and I will stand up for the many families who are struggling under these terrible economic conditions.

I was the architect of the Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act, the strongest pro-life legislation ever to become law in Missouri, and my legislation to ensure taxpayer dollars do not go to abortion providers was recently signed into law.

I also practice law at the Thomas More Society, a public interest law firm dedicated to protecting and promoting the culture of life, religious liberty, and family values.

My most important job is a wife and mother. Chris and I have been married for over twenty years and have six children. They challenge me every day to grow, love sacrificially, and appreciate more fully the many gifts I have been given. I believe we need more principled people of integrity to serve in public office so our state will flourish economically, and we can have leaders whom our children can admire as role models.

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?

Now more than ever we need proven conservatives fighters who can walk the walk, not just talk the talk. There is no more important job than protecting the integrity of our elections and our founding documents.We need to make certain illegal immigrants do not vote in our elections. Illegal immigrants are criminals. They don’t get to vote in Missouri. Period. This is one of many reasons I have always supported Voter ID. We need to stop voter fraud and ensure those who cheat or try to cheat are prosecuted.We need a conservative fighter in the office of Secretary of State who will stand up to the out-of-state special interests and protect Missourians from the Left’s woke ideology.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Life; Stopping illegals from voting; Protecting the integrity of elections and prosecuting voter fraud; Protecting Missouri’s Constitution

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

In high school I was competing in travel sports and my parents could not afford for me to continue traveling and other costs associated with my competitions. I wanted to keep competing at the national level and decided to open a small flower delivery business selling flowers to offices at the local courthouse.

I budgeted $150 to use for start-up costs and discovered a state regulation would require me to purchase a $90 license in order to obtain flowers at wholesaler’s costs.

I wrote the Agriculture Commissioner a letter outlining how government regulations like this were making it harder for me to compete and grow my small business. The Commissioner was so impressed with my tenacity to start a business to fund my travel sports that he personally purchased the license for me.

This early experience in overcoming government bureaucratic roadblocks sparked my interest in public service and is one of the reasons I've always championed small businesses and the men and women (and kids) who start them.

What responsibilities of this office do you personally consider the most important?

Election integrity will be my No. 1 priority. As Secretary of State, I will work with local election authorities to audit and clean up the voter rolls to ensure illegals are not voting in our elections. I will also work to protect the integrity of the ballot by doing everything possible to ensure those who attempt to cheat in our elections are prosecuted.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America

Do you support or oppose changes to the current state ballot initiative process? If so, what kind of changes would you consider?

I believe it should be harder to change the Missouri Constitution. Changing the Missouri Constitution should have to meet a higher threshold than a simple majority to pass. The reforms I am fighting for would give voters the opportunity to change our constitution but require more areas of the state to approve the changes. I am leading the fight to reform this broken process and stop out-of-state special interests from abusing the initiative petition process to erase the conservative policies voters sent members to Jefferson City to accomplish.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My most important job is as wife and mother. My family challenges me every day to grow, love sacrificially, and appreciate more fully the many gifts I have been given. My husband and I came to the decision I should run for State Senate because we believe it's important to our children's future that Missouri remain a great place to live, work, and raise a family. If we send more principled people of integrity to serve in Jefferson City, our state will flourish economically and we can have leaders whom our children can admire as role models.

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?

I will fight to stop liberals from defunding the police. We must fully support law enforcement officials and give them the tools to stop violent crime and illegal immigration, and stop the cartels from flooding our state with illegal drugs.I will fight to keep Missouri jobs in Missouri and stop the liberals in D.C. from moving our jobs to the coasts and foreign countries.As a wife and mother of six, I know students do better when their parents are involved. That is why I support a Parents’ Bill of Rights that will require schools to promote transparency and parental involvement in their child’s education.
