In the last eight years House Republicans have overturned, blocked, or attempted to repeal four major ballot initiatives passed directly by voters.
My time as a corporate revenue accountant taught me how to balance a budget and why it's so crucial. How large businesses operate and what they need to thrive, and how regulation affects every day operations.
My time as a software analyst and big data engineer taught me how the changing tech landscape is shaping our world and how to navigate it.
My time as a small business operator teaches me every day the needs of working-class taxpayers and businesses alike, and what they need from their government, and it's always the same; integrity, reason, compassion.
My years volunteering with the differently-abled and unhoused populations of this great state has taught me what the most vulnerable Missourians need from their government. Integrity, reason, and compassion. I've been inspired repeatedly by the tireless efforts of volunteers and organizers who give their all for their fellow Missourians.

Fully fund our public schools and support Universal Pre-K to ensure every child in Missouri starts strong, and expand vocational "Innovation Pathways" that let high schoolers earn college credits in tech and healthcare for free. End the horrific practice of school lunch debt.
No Missourian should be one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. I will fight for a "Patient's Bill of Rights" that caps out-of-pocket costs for essential medications like insulin and ensures primary care access for all.
Champion a state-level Paid Family Leave program so no Missourian has to choose between their paycheck and a new child or an aging parent. Maintain the income tax to not explode the deficit and harm working families.
Investing in safer roads, pedestrian infrastructure, expanding public transit options, and clean, sustainable energy. More cost effective and will make our neighborhoods quieter, our air cleaner, and the whole state safer for everyone.
Whether you can knock on doors, make phone calls, or spread the word, your support makes all the difference in keeping Missouri a democracy.
