Get StartedThe free market is the most essential tool for a democratic republic; the instrument of individual choice gives us the liberty to live our lives as we choose under the law. But when big government reinforces big business, the individual is crowed out, and development is stifled at the hands of the rent extractors. Learn more
We have to focus on establishing the conditions for entrepreneurs to thrive and open new markets for Missouri, reducing the state's overall tax burden and investing more in economic development. Learn more
Having obtained a G.E.D. But later received two degrees from UMKC, I will also advocate for the constitutional rights of our students at the university and professors. I am intimately aware of how political ideologies can formate in our halls of higher education to the point where free speech is ostracized, and cancel culture replaces the free exchange of ideas.

Our public education system has been a crown jewel for our communities in the past, and it is unfortunate now that we have witnessed a rapid decline in our education system that is leaving our children behind at the hands of ideologies and political activists in our kid's classrooms. I think it's essential to equip our families with the capacity to see their children become educated citizens who know our country's Constitution and are prepared for self-governance in our Republic.

I advocate for school choice to leverage the resources needed by our parents to deliver a quality education for tomorrow's future. The federal government has a marginal role compared to the local responsibilities and duties required by our boards, parents, and teachers. Too much federal overreach potentially hinders the real stakeholders in our education system. We must emphasize local control in our school boards and empower our parents in their children's education. Learn more
I grew up in a single-parent household and was supported to a large degree by my grandparents and great-grandparents; I am aware of the experience our young men and women deal with growing up in those environments. Our policies have lacked balance and have drifted to the extreme through the neglect of policies that reinforce families to stay together and for the father to be in the child's life. I have heard stories of the chaos in our state's family services division. We should ensure that men and women are not penalized for getting married and that we influence as many policies that support families as we do single women with children. It's time our fathers know that Missouri appreciates and understands their role and place in their children's lives. Learn more
