My promise is to be your accessible and active representative. I will hold regular town halls and keep open lines of communication because your stories and the needs of our District must drive my decisions in Washington. I will work for you, not for special interests.

Food security and affordability are critical. As a representative, I will immediately seek a seat on the House Agricultural Committee. I will use this position to strengthen our local producers and protect the integrity of our national food supply, leveraging the fact that the St. Louis region is connected to an area accounting for over 43% of the U.S. agricultural market value.

Our students deserve the best. We must reverse Missouri's current standing. I will achieve this by championing the restoration of local control to empower parents and educators, while leveraging targeted Federal resources to ensure every student is protected and has access to a world-class education.

Healthcare access is a necessity, not a privilege. I will fight to implement policies that expand quality care access, especially to address the crisis where 54% of Missourians live in maternity care deserts. This will ensure essential services, like safe birthing and obstetric care, reach our underserved rural and urban communities.

I will focus on building economic opportunity for every family by cutting unnecessary red tape and investing in future-forward industries. This work is essential to safeguarding the dollar's status as the world’s reserve currency and creating high-paying jobs right here in our District.

Gridlock isn't an option. I will seek membership in the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, a group committed to advancing common-sense solutions. This caucus was instrumental in passing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and I will join them to ensure our District gets its fair share of funding for roads, clean water, and high-speed internet.
