Policies To Believe In

Supporting Missouri Farmers

Family farms are the heart and soul of Mid-Missouri, but international interests have purchased our legislators and threaten to force many Missouri farmers out of business. I will fight alongside local farmers to protect their lands and the environment from corporate takeover, and I vow to advocate for sensible farming and environmental policies at the state and local level.

Investing in Public Education

Every child is entitled to a quality education regardless of social or economic status. My vision to expand early childhood education, fully fund public K-12 programs, increase teacher pay and benefits, and support our public institutions of higher education will ensure Missouri’s children will excel no matter where life takes them.

Healthcare

Our system is keeping working people sick and wealthy insurance investors rich. When your child is sick, the last thing you should be worrying about is whether you can afford a doctor visit.

Defending Workers' Rights

Labor unions have given us the 5-day, 40-hour work week, required break and lunch periods, mandatory vacation and sick leave, and many of the other benefits we take for granted today. I will always fully support worker's rights, unions and collective bargaining, and prevailing wage. These worker protections are essential to the economic freedom of the working and middle class.
