Why are you running and why should people vote for you?
I am running because I honestly think Republicans don't care about the working class. They are using their avenues of power here to become bullies. They are trying to take away people's voting rights and right to initiative petition, and they insert themselves into other people's healthcare. People should vote for me because every decision I make will be for working class Missourians.
What are your goals if elected?
My goal is to be an advocate for education and healthcare, and to be a vote against more degradation of them. My goals are to fully fund the education formula and to fully fund, expand, and protect Medicare and Medicaid. My most specific goal is to limit class sizes and to put an aid in every classroom.
What issues are most pressing for your constituency?
High cost of living, lack of healthcare, underfunded education, and unaffordable housing. Data centers and the way they impact the environment, the cost of utilities, and people's quality of life is also a very salient issue.
