Our state and region face many challenges, both old and new. Technology is changing how we live our lives. Addiction, loneliness, violence, and mental health issues are on the rise. Roads, bridges, and other infrastructure needs demand urgent attention. And many Missourians are caught in a cycle of poverty or slip through the cracks of our system with little recourse or support.
We can no longer be content with business as usual. Surface-level solutions aren't enough. Our state needs bold, fresh, visionary leadership. In 2020, I'm running for state representative in Missouri's 93rd District because I know we can make progress towards a better future. Will you join me?

WHY I'M RUNNING
VISIONWe need a bold, fresh vision for the future of our state and region. As a Millennial and a father of four young children, I'm concerned about what our region and state will look like 30 years from now, not just after the next election cycle. We have challenges that will take generations to fix. So let's start fixing our broken systems now before it's too late.

LEADERSHIPReal leaders do the right thing, even when it's unpopular or when no one is looking. Unfortunately, too many elected officials toe the party line instead of leading. I believe that our republic is weakened when partisan affiliation is more important than the welfare of the people. As an elected official, I will lead with honesty, prudence, and fairness on every issue.

PRINCIPLESAs the Declaration of Independence states, we have been granted "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." My core belief is that human beings have inherent dignity and value, and must be treated with respect from conception until natural death. I also believe in limited and local government that is responsive to the people it serves.
