| Collapse all
I am a conservative small business owner, former chairman of the NWMSU College Republicans, and I led the campaign to pass Constitutional Amendment 3 in 2020 to protect our rural representation.
- We need a representative who will stop Joe Biden's liberal agenda and fight back against federal overreach
- I will work to reduce the tax and regulatory burden on our farmers, small businessowners, and hardworking Missouri families.
- I will stand strong for the conservative values that make Missouri such a great place to live: Individual freedom, small government, and free enterprise.
I'm a passionate advocate of free market economics. As a business owner, I've seen first hand the damage that the big-government liberal policies of the Biden Administration are doing to our local economy. We need to get the government off our backs and out of the way so our state's economy can thrive.
I'm also big on education. Every child in our great state deserves access to a quality education, free from any kind of indoctrination or political agenda.
Election integrity is a key issue, and is among the top concerns I've heard from voters since I began campaigning for this seat. To have a functional democracy, we must have trust in our system of elections. One of the first things I will do as State Representative is sponsor a Voter ID law.
And one of the issues I'm most passionate about is defending our 2nd Amendment rights. I applaud Gov. Parson and the General Assembly for passing the Second Amendment Preservation Act, one of the strongest laws in the country protecting our fundamental right to self defense, and I will always work to defend and expand that right.
I really look up to Senator Rand Paul as someone who sticks to his principles while also being pragmatic enough to get things done.
1. The Declaration of Independence
2. "The Revolution: A Manifesto" by Ron Paul
3. "Economics in One Lesson", Henry Hazlitt
Elected officials should be transparent and honest with their constituents, and willing to listen.
The core responsibility of members of the legislature is to protect freedom and uphold the Constitution, above all else.
I vaguely remember the beginning of the Iraq war, when I was about 5 years old.
I've been selling coins and currency ever since I was a kid, it started out as a hobby, but I'm proud to have officially launched my business, Northwest Missouri Coins and Collectibles LLC, earlier this year.
However, my first "official" job was a field organizing role on a US Senate campaign.
The governor and legislature being on the same page can produce positive outcomes for the state, but it is important that both branches exercise our system of checks and balances to prevent either from becoming too powerful.
Implementing the unfunded Medicaid Expansion that was recently upheld in court will be a major challenge. Another will be examining the local responses to COVID in retrospect so we can make necessary reforms to prevent elected officials from abusing their newly-precedented powers in the future.
Knowledge of the political process helps, but we need more outsiders who have real world experience and are in touch with the needs of their communities.
Of course, it is difficult to accomplish anything alone.
I led the campaign to pass Constitutional Amendment 3, which created bipartisan committees comprised of ten Republicans and ten Democrats, appointed by the governor after being nominated by their respective party. In my opinion this is the fairest method.
I think I could do some good on the Education committee. As some of my detractors like to point out, it wasn't all that long ago that I was enrolled in the Missouri Public School System. I know what some of the issues are from my own experience and I think that puts me in a unique position to help improve the system.
Representative Andrews has done a terrific job for our district, I've been told many times by voters that I'll have big shoes to fill, and I believe that is true.
The primary responsibility of the legislators is to protect our freedom. Even in times of emergency, lawmakers should take this responsibility seriously and work actively to prevent any infringement on our rights, be it at the hands of local officials, the feds, the governor, or the legislature itself.
Compromise can sometimes be necessary but it is important that policy makers never compromise when it comes to their core values, their oath of office, and the promises they made to voters.
