I am a lifelong Missourian who is dedicated to making sure the voices of all Missourians are heard. My campaign prioritizes people above politics. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I've founded and runs successful businesses in the medical device technology and real estate industries, paying fair, living wages. I am running because the people of Missouri deserve a representative that will actually listen to and work for their best interest, regardless of wealth, race or political affiliation. I believe in accountability and transparency, investing in our future, and a government that works for all Missourians.
- We deserve a functional democracy in which all voices are heard.
- We need representatives that make our lives better.
- We need safety, justice, accountability, and opportunities for everyone, no matter the color of your skin or the amount of money in your pocket.
We need a government that works for us. I am committed to representing all people of the state of Missouri to provide quality education, healthcare, and fair living wages across our great state while focusing on policies that prioritize people and the environment above corporations and special interest groups.
