Today I registered as your candidate for the August 4th state house election.

 

You probably already know I’ve worked at the U.S. Congress for Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and taught and substitute taught students in the Wentzville and Fort Zumwalt school districts. 

 

But why am I running for state house?

 

I’m running because I realized in 2009 that our national debt would be the defining issue of our times, as no other threat but massive inflation has the potential to upend American life completely. We need to cut spending in a fair manner, without punishing Americans who’ve lived responsibly, and I have ideas on how we can accomplish that – with several bills I will be proposing next session, all of which are innovative approaches to improving our state and our lives.

 

I’m running because I don’t want Missouri to become Illinois. We ran a deficit of $3 billion in 2024 and a deficit of $2 billion in 2025. Our reserves are projected to be gone in 2027 or 2028, and we will soon be facing a fiscal crisis like our neighbor to the east, from which people can’t move out fast enough.

 

I’m running because the happiness of our people depends on real leaders fighting the lobbyists in Jefferson City, on everything from the state budget to energy prices.

 

That’s why I’ve stepped up.

 

Lake St. Louis, Dardenne Prairie, and O’Fallon will finally have an honest state representative who works FOR US.​
