FAITH - FAMILY - FUTURE
While being raised in the small rural town of Centralia, Missouri, my deep conservative roots and the importance of family were instilled in me. Now, as a resident of Cass County, I want to make sure that all my friends and neighbors have that experience. I will fight for all of us while in Jefferson City to ensure that our state government supports our family priorities of education, low taxes and safe communities. Another focus of mine while serving you will be making every attempt to be responsive to your questions, comments and concerns. I feel this has been a weakness in our representation over the last few years and I want to prove to you that your voice matters.
Family I think we all share the vision to help our family be safe, healthy and successful. I want to be in Jefferson City as your representative to promote policies that will ensure our families have the best opportunity to reach these goals.

We must remember that our freedoms come from our Creator, and that we must use them wisely if we want to preserve them. I unashamedly claim Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and will work to honor him in all my decisions. Prioritizing the well-being of all the residents of our district, along with striving to improve everyone’s ability to access our God given freedoms, will be my mission.
Education has the ability to shape the path of every child’s future, and as parents we are the key to a child's successful education. School choice and parental input must be a priority moving forward. I want to ensure that parents have options when choosing what is best for their child’s education. Whether you choose private, public, virtual or homeschool for your family, I will champion the cause to ensure your child will receive the highest quality education. My lifelong experience as an educator, coach, and administrator in both public and private education, gives me a unique perspective that separates myself from other candidates.
We all get frustrated from time to time by all levels of government. I believe that government works best when it is limited and as local as possible. We need to reduce the size of our federal and state governments and allow local government to make more decisions based on the desires of their constituents.
Life is precious and we must defend it at all stages. I am 100% Pro-Life and believe that life begins at conception. I will always vote to protect the life of the unborn and born.
The single highest expense for almost any family is taxes. We must reduce the tax burden on families, while still finding ways to fund the services we need. Moving away from federal and state taxes where our tax burden is the greatest and reducing wasteful non-essential spending will be a priority issue while I am in office.
We all want our families to live in a community that is safe. We must continue to protect our communities by assuring our first responders have the tools and policies they need to protect our families from those that may want to harm us.
Having the ability to protect ourselves is a right assured to us by our founding fathers in the Constitution. I will always vote to protect our 2nd Amendment rights while also understanding that commonsense must prevail when dealing with gun ownership.
