My Story

Safe & fair food supply for everyone

I will vote to restore healthcare subsidies until a comprehensive bipartisan plan is in place. I will advocate for policies to expand access to quality healthcare, particularly by lowering costs, and address staff shortages through hiring incentives to restore safe patient-staff ratios. I will vote to ensure all communities have equal access to quality healthcare services, including mental healthcare, and to protect the wellness of women and families.

If I have learned one thing in my years of public school teaching and living my entire life in the St. Louis region, it is that stories matter.&nbsp; Our own story shapes how we see our world and how we interact with one another.&nbsp; Listening to stories widens our understanding of others and connects us.&nbsp; And, it is the stories of our community that inspire me to represent this region at the highest level by running for Congress. Let's build a vibrant community and nation, together!

Effective policy starts with a conversation, not a talking point. My career in education taught me that the best answers are found through curiosity and dialogue. I am committed to being a representative who values your perspective as an essential input for solving our district's toughest challenges. Your insights are the catalyst for the common-sense advocacy I will bring to Washington.

It connects this next generation to the virtues of our founding documents: the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. In these ideals, we honor the sacrifice of those who gave their lives and livelihoods so that we can live in a just, free society.As citizens, we bear the responsibility to fulfill the promise of our Founders and work towards a more perfect union.<h4>I honor our Founders’ vision and sacrifices for our country.</h4><h4>I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.</h4><h4>I care about the kind of country my granddaughters will inherit. </h4><h4></h4>

Hope Well

I will focus on increasing affordability and economic opportunity for every family. I will promote American manufacturing, protect union jobs, and work to position the American workforce to lead the future frontier of industry and technology. This work is essential for safeguarding the US dollar's status as the world’s reserve currency and creating high-paying jobs right here in our District.

A healthy nation begins with a safe and clean food supply. I will seek a seat on the House Agricultural Committee and use this position to strengthen our local producers and protect the integrity of our national food and water supply. Our region is a center for international agriculture and agribusiness, and 43% of the market flows through it. I also believe that policies that help us adapt to an evolving climate are the best path forward for our economy.

Missouri's 2nd Congressional District

It is time to have a representative who listens to her constituents.

Who represents you matters.
Character matters.

We are at a watershed moment.

Support Our Campaign

We’re grateful for your donations!

I am campaigning to represent the good people of Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District.

Within our community, there is a deep well of hope, compassion, and desire to move past the rhetoric that divides us.

I honor our Founders’ vision and sacrifices for our country.

I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I care about the kind of country my granddaughters will inherit.
