PRIORITIES
Healthcare
Every Missourian deserves affordable, quality healthcare. We have far too many Missourians who are uninsured or underinsured, and high healthcare costs are a strain for Missouri families.
No one plans to have a health crisis, and unexpected medical bills leave many Missourians struggling. As your state representative, I will work to implement policies that will increase access to healthcare throughout the state.
I will fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions without interference from the state. We need to ensure that all women have access to comprehensive reproductive health services including contraception and it is imperative that we overturn Missouri’s radical abortion ban which includes no exceptions for rape or incest. Complicated medical decisions are best left to women, their families and their doctors – not the government.
Education
I am a product of Missouri public schools from kindergarten to college and will treat education as a top priority.
I believe that we need to increase educational opportunity and access to education by investing in technical schools, increasing public funding for state colleges, and fully funding and protecting K-12 education.
It is vital that schools across our state have the funding to provide quality education from early education to post-secondary. We must end the cuts to education and invest in our students. Investing in our students is an investment in our state, as we ensure students have the skills needed to enter the workforce.
I will fight to attract and retain great educators by increasing salaries and supporting teachers in the classroom.
Economic Growth
As a small business owner, I am committed to promoting responsible economic development and attracting good paying jobs to the Northland.
I support investing in our crumbling infrastructure and programs that encourage the growth of small businesses in the Northland. We must continue to encourage the development of new businesses, services and innovations.
I will fight to fund infrastructure projects to create good paying jobs, economic opportunity, and keep our families safe, increase funding for higher education to train and retain an educated workforce and give small businesses the resources and support that they need to grow and thrive.
