Get StartedEvery person has the right to make decisions about their body and their life. People die from childbirth in Missouri far more often than in the rest of the industrialized world, but our legislators continue to pile more burdensome restrictions on reproductive healthcare. Learn more
I support our innovative treatment courts and diversion programs because they effectively correct and rehabilitate non-violent criminals. I know that the root causes of crime are the same everywhere: a lack of opportunity for education and jobs, together with drug addiction and poverty. Addressing these basic issues is the key to reducing crime. Learn more
We need laws to be enforced fairly to protect our people. I support our law enforcement officers and at the same time demand accountability. I support tough sentences for violent criminals while knowing we need to reduce our prison population and reintegrate former prisoners back into society. Learn more
Our prescription drug epidemic tragically harms families in every community across Missouri. If we track filled prescriptions for addictive drugs like opioids we could identify and help high-risk users - and save lives. Our current legislators have made us the only state in the entire country without a statewide Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). I will work to finally pass this lifesaving legislation.

A strong economy is one that works for everyone. As your state rep, I’ll fight for our workers who build our economy, and for the wages, benefits, and protections they deserve. I’ll support investments to educate a 21st century workforce. Learn more
We know that prosperity actually does NOT trickle down when we reward corporations. As your state rep, I will carefully guard your tax dollars in Jefferson City. I know that you and your family are the economic drivers for our state, so I will work to invest in improving your lives, rather than lining the pockets of big businesses. Learn more
Agriculture is our backbone in Missouri, especially our family farms where many of us grew up. Our local communities used to have a say in how farming was done in our backyards, but the current Republican-led state legislature has passed bills favoring large corporate farms and pushing out family farms.

As your state rep, I’ll work to restore local control so ordinary citizens once again have a say in how farming operates in their community. Learn more
I’ll support local businesses who provide good jobs and keep our economy growing. And I’ll work to bring in new businesses that offer good jobs. But I’ll always put workers’ interests before the special interests of large corporations. Learn more
I will support universal early childhood education because it's proven to be the best way for us to invest in our future. I also want us to invest more in higher education and workforce training, so people can gain the skills to compete in our economy. Learn more
Every Missouri child should have access to free, quality public education regardless of their zip code. As your representative, I will work to strengthen our public schools and fully fund our commitment to our kids. Learn more
As your state representative, I’ll join the coalition to expand Medicaid so that no one has to choose between a decent job and their healthcare. By coming together, we can create a fair and comprehensive healthcare system that treats us all as equals and ensures we can stay well. Learn more
