My Priorities
Real solutions for the issues that matter most to our community
Your Tax Dollars Should Work for You
The proposal to eliminate Missouri's income tax and replace it with a higher sales tax sounds like a tax cut. It isn't for most Chesterfield families. For business owners and professionals, the uncertainty of a fundamental tax restructuring creates real planning risk. That's not reform. That's a bad deal dressed up in good marketing. I'll oppose it.
Fund Our Public Schools
Chesterfield's schools are among the best in Missouri—and that's no accident. When education funding is cut, the impact is immediate: larger class sizes, fewer resources, reduced opportunities. It doesn't just affect the classroom—it weakens the foundation our community is built on. I will fight to protect and fully fund our schools.
Public Safety That Actually Works
Safe communities are the foundation for everything else—strong schools, thriving businesses, and stable property values. I believe in fully funding public safety, giving law enforcement the tools and training they need, and ensuring accountability so systems deliver real results.
Invest In Our Infrastructure
Chesterfield's roads, bridges, and utilities are essential to how our community grows and functions. Strong infrastructure supports local businesses, shortens commutes, and improves quality of life. I will fight to secure our fair share of investment and ensure long-term responsibility.
Support Small Business
Chesterfield's entrepreneurs and small business owners deserve a state government that keeps taxes fair, reduces unnecessary red tape, and creates a stable environment to hire, grow, and plan ahead. I'll work to make Chesterfield a place where local businesses can compete and thrive.
Healthcare Access
For seniors and working parents, healthcare isn't theoretical—it's a monthly bill, a prescription, or a decision about delaying care. Seniors deserve affordable access to the medications and care they depend on. Working parents need a system where taking a child to the doctor doesn't mean financial stress or lost wages.
Protecting Reproductive Freedom and Privacy
Personal healthcare decisions should remain between patients and their doctors—not dictated by politicians. I will defend reproductive rights, protect access to comprehensive healthcare, and ensure that government respects individual privacy and personal freedom.
Respect Voter Decisions
When Missouri voters approve something at the ballot box, the Legislature should not reverse it. Chesterfield voters are informed and engaged; they deserve a representative who respects the democratic process, even when it's not politically convenient. I will always stand on the side of the voters.
Transparency in Development Deals
When large corporations negotiate development deals with state and local governments, the public shouldn't be left in the dark—or stuck covering unexpected costs later. I will push for full transparency from the start, ensuring agreements are fair, fiscally responsible, and in the best interest of the community.
