Listening First, Then Acting
I was born and raised right here in rural Missouri. I know what it means when the local hospital closes down, when the bridge to town gets shut down, or when the only factory in town lays folks off. Our district has been left behind for too long—but I’m here to change that with practical ideas and Missouri-grown common sense.
Since day one, I’ve been listening to farmers, teachers, veterans, and small business owners. I’ve walked your roads, stood in your fields, and sat at your kitchen tables. I know the problems we’re facing—and I’ve already started writing the legislation to fix them.
I’m proud to say that I’ve drafted several bills ready to go on Day One. These cover:
- Expanding rural healthcare access
- Strengthening local agriculture and protecting family farms
- Fixing broken roads and bridges
- Boosting trade with smart, Missouri-first export programs
- Bringing reliable, fast internet to every rural household
- Keeping our water clean and our land protected
Real Work, Not Just Talk
I’m not waiting to get elected to start working. I’ve already met with local leaders and ag experts to make sure what we’re doing matches what our district truly needs. From flood repair programs to new farmer training, we’re laying the groundwork right now.
Jobs, Broadband, and Local Infrastructure
I believe in investing in our people—not in padding Washington’s pockets. That means:
- Creating local jobs by repairing infrastructure and expanding clean energy options
- Helping small towns qualify for federal broadband grants
- Cutting red tape so family farms and local producers can compete
Working for All of Us
Some folks in Washington forget who they work for. I haven’t. I believe in representing every voice, every farm, every small town in this district. No matter who you voted for, I’ll work hard for you. Because that’s the Missouri way.
We can’t wait around for someone else to fix things. We’ve got to roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves—together.
Let’s Rebuild Rural Missouri
This campaign isn’t about politics. It’s about purpose. And my purpose is clear: get rural Missouri back on its feet and moving forward. With your help, we’ll make that happen.
