While I am running as a Democrat, I want to speak honestly and respectfully: I am not running as part of the Mainstream Missouri Democratic Party. I’m running as a Common Sense Rural Democrat—grounded in the values, concerns, and daily realities of rural Missouri.
My priorities are shaped by the lived experiences of the people in places like:
- Marshall (Saline County)
- Sedalia (Pettis County)
- El Dorado Springs (Cedar County)
- Warsaw (Benton County)
- Lamar (Barton County)
- Butler (Bates County)
- Osceola (St. Clair County)
- Clinton (Henry County)
- Hermitage (Hickory County)
— as well as other rural communities, cities, and towns across our district that face the same challenges and deserve to be heard.
I have great respect for the work many in the state party are doing, but their platform is primarily shaped by urban and suburban priorities. That approach doesn’t fully reflect the specific needs of our rural communities and farm towns—places where roads, schools, hospitals, and family farms are the backbone of daily life.
At times, I may sound more like an independent voice—and in many ways, I am. But I am squarely focused on one thing: serving the people of Missouri’s 4th District, regardless of party or political opinion. I don’t answer to a political machine or an urban party platform—I answer to the people who live, work, and raise families right here in rural Missouri.
I’m a Missouri Grown Candidate—raised here, rooted here, and running to represent all Missourians with honesty, fairness, and common sense.
