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?
Saving Missouri's crumbling infrastructure is an issue we can work across the aisle to get done now.Supporting families and local business is paramount. We must keep taxes low so our economy can be rebuilt.Education is the backbone of an economy. I will support quality education for all students.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am passionate about helping our struggling Missouri families and rebuilding our state infrastructure. Local businesses should have our support, not be bogged down with endless burdensome regulations. We can fight COVID and strengthen our economy at the same time; it's not an "either-or" situation. I am determined to keep taxes low and our employment high. We should be investing in our children so they can inherit a better tomorrow. They key way we do this is by giving them the tools they need to be contributing members of society. That's why I am so passionate about funding education. When families succeed, Missouri succeeds.
