When it comes to crime, the situation is dire. Our community ranks #8 in the nation for crime rates, and this is not just a statistic—it’s a harsh reality I’ve lived through. My car has been broken into multiple times, I’ve faced attempted break-ins, and witnessed carjackings. These aren’t abstract problems; they’re personal and terrifying experiences that drive my commitment to real change.

Safety is about more than just policing—it’s about addressing the root causes of crime and investing in community growth. While crime might not seem like a pressing issue outside of the greater Kansas City area and St. Louis, it’s a daily struggle here. I am deeply invested in this issue because I’ve seen firsthand how dangerous and unsettling it can be.

I will bring this reality to my fellow Republicans in Jefferson City and advocate for substantial changes. My goal is to ensure that the greater Kansas City area gets the attention and resources it desperately needs from the state. Let me be your voice for meaningful change, working alongside city and county groups to make our community safer and more secure.

I believe that creating jobs and fostering job growth are essential for the health and prosperity of our community. Jobs provide individuals with income and contribute to the economic stability and growth of our district. Good jobs enable people to support their families, invest in their homes, and spend money at local businesses, strengthening our local economy. Job creation leads to increased economic activity, higher tax revenues, and improved public services.

Employment also brings a sense of pride and purpose, encouraging individuals to develop skills, achieve personal growth, and contribute positively to society. It instills a work ethic, promotes self-sufficiency, and helps build a stronger community. When people are employed, they are less likely to engage in criminal activity, enhancing public safety and improving the quality of life for everyone.

Inflation is hitting hard, making every dollar stretch less at the gas pump and grocery store. I am right there with you, living in it. Taxes keep coming out of our paychecks, but where is that money going? Jackson County’s fiasco for extreme personal property taxes is a grave concern at the county and state level. When and where do the taxes stop?

We need fresh, innovative ideas to bring money into the state without continuously increasing taxes. Instead of burdening hardworking Missourians, we should look for alternative revenue streams and efficient ways to utilize our resources.

As your representative, I am committed to ensuring that every dollar is spent wisely. It’s time for a new approach to tax reform that benefits all Missourians without asking for more from their hard-earned paychecks. 

Times are tough, and it’s clear we need strong leadership to navigate these challenges. Inflation is soaring, property taxes are skyrocketing, and the cost of living is becoming increasingly burdensome. At the same time, crime rates are alarmingly high, threatening our safety and well-being. But amidst these struggles, we must not lose sight of a fundamental issue: equal rights for every individual.

As the Republican candidate who will advocate for equal rights, I am committed to representing everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or socioeconomic status. I am uniquely positioned to be the sole voice in Jefferson City within the Republican supermajority, with the opportunity to address and rectify inequalities affecting the greater Kansas City area. Let me be the one to ensure our community thrives on the foundation of equal rights for all. My dedication to these principles will guide my efforts to make a positive impact and create a fair and just environment for every resident of District 7.

Homelessness requires clear, actionable solutions. First, expanding mental health and addiction services is crucial, as these issues often contribute to homelessness. Second, increasing affordable housing options will provide stable living conditions and reduce reliance on temporary shelters. Third, improving job training and employment opportunities helps individuals achieve financial independence. Finally, strong financial oversight ensures resources are used effectively and programs achieve real results. These measures, combined with careful oversight, address homelessness in a responsible and impactful way.

As the Republican candidate from District 7, I am uniquely positioned to advocate for these solutions in Jefferson City. With the Republican supermajority, my voice will be heard, and I will ensure that our approach to homelessness is both fiscally responsible and aligned with our community’s safety needs. By addressing these issues effectively, we can create meaningful change and enhance the well-being of our district.
