“My vision for Missouri is one in which our children are proud to call it their home. Where Missouri is a place all our children consider raising families and building careers.

I am running for Lieutenant Governor because Missouri is falling behind. As a successful entrepreneur, husband of a nurse practitioner, father of three children, and as someone living with MS, I have witnessed first-hand where Missouri is lagging. The number of Fortune 500 companies in Missouri has decreased from 12 in 2003 to 8 in 2023. Revenues for the year are lagging 1.45% behind collections for the previous fiscal year. College graduates are leaving for out-of-state jobs, trade labor is in short supply, businesses are relocating and expanding into other states, and our leaders in the capital are arguing over parking spots instead of discussing how to make it easier for companies to conduct business in our state.

My plan for our state is one that focuses on economic development and public safety, leading to a burgeoning Missouri.”
