  • Standing With Workers: Democrats Defend Unions, MAGA Republicans Try to Break Them

    I’m a common-sense Democrat from a working-class Missouri family. Democrats fight for unions—MAGA Republicans are working to dismantle them. When I’m elected as your congressman, I’ll protect bargaining rights, wages, and safe workplaces for Missouri’s working families.

  • Gov. Trump? Rep. Trump? Sen. Trump? Can one man dictate our entire government?

    Missouri deserves leaders who answer to voters, not party bosses. I’ll fight cuts that threaten rural hospitals, push back on redistricting games, protect farm families from harmful policies, and keep our state focused on equal opportunity for all.

  • Mark “Awful” Alford’s Epstein Transparency Act: All Talk, No Walk

    Mark “Awful” Alford claims to stand for transparency in the Epstein case, but his record shows selective action, partisan pandering, and loyalty to Trump over Missourians. As your next congressman, I’ll always put Missouri First!

  • Bridging the Divide: A Missouri Voice for All Missourians
