Right-to-Life – Abortion is a blight on our nation and our state, compromising the value of all life and destroying beautiful lives made in God’s image. It was forced upon us through unconstitutional judicial activism—first by the U.S. Supreme Court via Roe v. Wade and now by Missouri’s Supreme Court, which perverted justice by allowing Amendment 3 on the ballot. We must overturn this decision and fight against abortion up to birth.

Second Amendment – “The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.” Missourians understand this fundamental right, and I commit to vigorously defending it.

Agriculture – Missouri is an agricultural state—we truly feed the nation and the world! I grew up on a family farm and believe there is no better way of life or place to raise a family. We must ensure the survival of the family farm, which is critical to the prosperity of rural communities in southeast Missouri.

Illegal Immigration – Illegal immigration threatens Missouri's economy, security, and sovereignty. Our communities should not be forced to bear the financial burden of unlawful entry into our country. We must support strict enforcement of immigration laws, secure our borders, and prevent Missouri from becoming a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

Vaccine Mandates – Missouri must oppose unconstitutional federal mandates that violate the personal rights of its citizens. The federal government ignored and censored qualified experts, pushed experimental medical treatments, and redefined basic terms and concepts to advance its control. We will never allow this to happen again in Missouri.

Fair Taxes – Over my lifetime, liberals have increasingly punished success in Missouri through unchecked, unwise spending, leading to inevitable tax increases. This is nowhere more apparent than in southeast Missouri, where our tax burden is significantly higher than in neighboring states. We must continue to control spending, lower and flatten income taxes, and make fiscal responsibility a top priority.

Education – The academic instruction of our future generations is critical to the success of our state and nation. Missouri continues to lead in education investment, representing the largest component of our annual state budget. We must oppose efforts to nationalize education, mandate Critical Race Theory, and sexualize our children. Instead, we should expand opportunities by supporting school choice, homeschooling, and empowering teachers to educate children without political interference.

Health Care – Missouri has world-class health care, but costs are rising exponentially, compounded by the federal government’s increasing takeover of this critical sector. Our state must take a smarter approach by prioritizing accountability, access, fraud prevention, and incentives for personal involvement and healthy lifestyles.

Community – Missouri is widely recognized for its innovation, family values, hard work, and conservative principles. This is most evident in how we honor and protect our elderly, disabled, and those in need. True help and healing are best provided by non-government organizations, including churches and nonprofits, which can offer assistance where the government cannot.

Defense – Missouri must strengthen its National Guard to ensure its continued contributions to the nation, state, and community. A well-equipped and well-supported Guard unit is essential for disaster response, security, and national defense.
