“In the Army and as a business owner you learn to lead people in the good and bad times. I was a Sargent in the Army while in Iraq and a retail business owner during COVID. In both instances a level of responsibility was placed on me to help ensure others would be safe and continue on with their own lives.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
“Both the critical thinking required along with hard work and perseverance is how I accomplished this. Find the best route for those involved and then put in the work to make it happen.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)

“I am passionate about public education, fiscal responsibility, and investing in the infrastructure that holds rural communities together. As an educator with more than thirty years in Missouri classrooms and higher education, I believe every child in District 146 deserves a well-funded public school and a well-prepared teacher.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
“I am equally passionate about ensuring that our tax system is fair — that working and middle-class families are not asked to carry a heavier burden so that others pay less. And I believe that roads, bridges, and water systems are not partisan issues — they are the basic obligations of government to the people it serves.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
