“The most important area of public policy currently in Missouri is respecting the will of the voters. Our state has spoken out on many issues in recent years, from Medicaid expansion to reproductive healthcare to paid sick leave. We voted for these issues and were met with efforts to reverse them in the legislature. We need to RespectMOVoters.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection) “In response to devastating flooding, I took action to hold the Metropolitan Sewer District accountable, talking with our Storm Water Commission Members, touring the debris filled channels and tunnels and pressing MSD to be accountable to rate payers for the maintenance of their infrastructure. In recent months, that has resulted in MSD’s removal of over 500 tons of debris from their channels and storm-water tunnels.”
