Our state is currently tailing behind in many areas. Our students deserve a quality education and support from pre-k to secondary schooling. Our system is overwhelmed by a lack of resources. Missouri has the resources to expand educational spending but those in power reallocate funding for pet projects while leaving our students, educators, and system to fend for itself. It is time for full and equal funding for our educational system and ensure every student the best opportunity to succeed.

Investment in our infrastructure is an investment in our future and success. Across the state we see failing bridges, roadways, water and electrical grids. The federal government is investing billions in infrastructure and we must fight for our fair share of that funding and invest in our rural areas not just in cities and close surrounding areas.

Missourians deserve access to quality, affordable healthcare services to support their physical and mental well-being and to have financial security. During the pandemic, thousands across the state have died from Covid complications, and thousands more have been temporarily or permanently disabled. The mental health impact of Covid and the stress of the pandemic continue to affect nearly every community from the patient to the first responders, overwhelmed with short staff and unbearably long hours and support.

Everyone eligible to vote should have the ability to register to vote, to cast a ballot and to have that ballot properly recorded, we must remove barriers and roadblocks in voting rights and ways voters can vote. Polls, mail in, and dropbox options should be expanded to ensure each voter has an option and every voter's voice heard.

We must take stake and recognize the environmental changes that are having effects on our state, from our farmers to our economy. To be prosperous we must realize how important clean air and water are and take steps to ensure we take steps to prepare for increases in weather events, with moving toward renewable energy we would create new jobs and new industries.

Abortion is healthcare. Access to healthcare saves lives. Equitable access to healthcare is a human right, and no one should experience discrimination because of their gender. I support the Women’s Health Protection Act, ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment, Medicare For All, and expanding access to virtual and telehealth services.
