I am a 40 year old, warehouse worker at Amazon, UPS, Fedex, and was an owner of a small full size restaurant in a rural town of Missouri from Sept 2013-March 2018. I am an average person, with an average life. I am running to defeat Senator Hawley, because Mr Hawley has failed his residence and I am tired of the “Status quo”. US Capital representatives are acting like fourth graders, and not getting work done for the average working Americans in our state. We need a fresh start, fresh new beginning, and we to hold our representatives accountable. In my first 100 days, I will work for every Missourian, and not just for Me Hawley selected few. Our country is in danger, we need to bring America first, and we need to put money into our infrastructures, and our people. I promise to re open new manufacturing union jobs with good pay. Inflation is hurting our lowest wage earners. Savings is non existent for many Missourians in our state. Our Senator, who we elected for real changes, failed us. I want your vote, for real change and a real Fresh start. I will Represent every single person from High school to our top executives. I am for all Missourians.
- More Manufacture union jobs with good pay and benefits
- Inflation is hurting every Missourians and I will help every resident having savings again
- Our Missouri schools need improvements, we can not let our future generations continue from failed school districts
Our Congressional national budgets are focused on kicking the can down the road, versus address it head on, and save our future generations with heartache.
Our Medicare-Medicaid programs are not enough for seniors, disabled, and our Veterans. We need a better option for true, respected, and new beginning for our honored classes, and our future generations.
Our Education needs to be reformed and all poor state public schools need to be Re assessed and force to help our future students and keep them ignited and focused for College and their University life.
School shootings: We need to implement a student Facilitator “Common Ground” technique for students to voice anonymously, and allow the students Administration to announce there updates to make all of our students have a better school life without fear of violence. I want schools to be safe again for all students. This cost $0.00, to implement.
Foreign Students: We need to maintain and protect all of our University students studying abroad. We must keep providing Pell grants and financial grants upon completion of requirement milestones.
Foreign Affairs: We also need to reign in spending for Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, Russia, and other nations. We also need to reign in and create a plan of World peace. We are headed into 2024, we need to end the old era of wars and the deaths it causes to innocent civilians.
Energy: Our climate is changing, and we need to become energy independent
I look up to Former President Trumps on the basis of America first priorities. I did look up to Senator Hawley, but I am running against him because he broke his promises for our state. Mr. Hawley is representing for his own interests.
Honesty, Respect, Faith. and Honor
My fresh start initiatives
Accountability, and insurability
I was 30 years old, opening and maintaining a full service restaurant in a small town in Southwest Missouri for 5+ years. The politics of small town life.
First job while in High school was for Ricks Cafe and Homewood Suites Restaurant/Hotel service jobs, similar to AOC. I had the jobs for 7+ years.
The Great Gatsby
In the end linkin park
Our US infrastructure is crumbling, our World perceptions are crumbling, and our blank checks with no earmarks are alarming.
We should have the same term limits as the office for President, is defined. We need the status quo to end.
Americas house, and our checks and balances to prevent chaotic insurability
I do not believe, anyone needs to hold’s previous experience. Stand up, and help change our world, and America is in troubling times.
I think from a legal basis it’s the right of the first amendment, regardless of standing of the bill.
Yes, former Senator Roy Blunt
Record, time of service, and how the person was respected by guilty and not guilty verdicts.
Bipartisan relationships, real United relationships
I think compromise is okay as long as our residents are in agreement, but once they are in support, you failed your job
