Kay Collier

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I will support tough sentences for violent criminals, while also seeking ways to reduce our prison population and reintegrate folks into society after they have served their time. Learn more

Drug Policy

I’ll also support drug treatment courts and diversion programs that find alternative ways to punish and rehabilitate non-violent criminals without simply throwing them in prison. Learn more

Economy

I’ll work for policies that support local businesses who provide good jobs in our state and keep our economy growing. And I’ll work to bring new businesses here that want to capitalize on our skilled Missouri workforce and quality of life. Learn more

Education

I will work to strengthen our public schools and fully fund our commitment to our kids. Increasing teacher pay is important to our rural economies and for decades they have been woefully underpaid. I will fight for our rural public school teachers, paraprofessional and staff. Learn more

I will support universal early childhood education, because investing in our kids from an early age is the best way for us to invest in our future. I will also support investment in higher education and workforce training, to ensure all Missourians have the opportunity to gain the skills to compete in our economy. Learn more

Healthcare

It is my priority to help reopen a local hospital in our area. Every year rural Missouri families must make increasingly difficult decisions for how they prioritize spending on prescription drugs and medical bills over the basic costs of living. Learn more

As your state representative, I’ll support common sense measures like expanding Medicaid, so no Missourian is forced to choose between a decent job and keeping their healthcare. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

I’ll fight for those who truly build up our economy—our workers—for the wages, benefits, and protections they deserve. I’ll support investments in educational opportunities to support a 21st century workforce. Learn more
