Issue Position
But today, family farmers are being squeezed from every direction: rising input costs, consolidation, unfair markets, trade instability, drought, debt, and the loss of rural infrastructure.

I will fight to: Strengthen enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act Support legislation like the Meat Packing Special Investigator Act Support the Livestock Consolidation Research Act Enforce antitrust laws against seed, fertilizer, equipment, and meatpacking monopolies Stop vertical market control that traps farmers into buying from the same dominant corporations year after year If a farmer has only 1 or 2 buyers, that is not a free market.

Consumer safety and product quality go down, and product costs skyrocket in this unchecked system, and it needs to end.

I strongly support the Freedom for Agricultural Repair and Maintenance Act , known as the FARM Act , which would require equipment manufacturers to make repair tools, software, parts, and documentation available to farmers.

I will fight for: Farmer access to diagnostic tools Repair software access Fair parts markets Protection from forced dealer-only repair systems You bought it.

Protect Seed Freedom and Farm Independence Farmers should not be trapped in a system where seed, chemicals, fertilizer, and crop technology are controlled by the same few giants.

I support: Stronger USDA and DOJ scrutiny of seed market concentration Antitrust enforcement against vertically integrated agribusiness Seed competition and transparency rules Public investment in land-grant university seed research Protection for independent and regional seed producers I would be careful about saying we can simply “ban” every non-reproducing or patented seed immediately, because seed patent law and biotechnology are complicated.

Support Small Farms, Local Processing, and Rural Main Street Small farms keep rural towns alive.

I support: Expanding USDA lending for small and beginning farmers Cooperative lending and local farm credit access Regional meat processing and local food infrastructure Farm-to-school and farm-to-hospital purchasing Support for independent livestock producers Stronger protections against abusive contracts in poultry and livestock We need to rebuild the local farm economy, not just subsidize the largest operations.

I support: Expanding USDA soil health programs Regenerative agriculture incentives Cover crops, rotational grazing, reduced tillage, and prairie restoration Water-efficient irrigation systems Aquifer protection and recharge research Atmospheric water capture and drought-resilient technology research USDA’s NRCS launched a Regenerative Pilot Program in 2025 with $700 million to support regenerative agriculture, whole-farm assessments, and conservation practices.

Expand Crop Diversity and New Farm Markets Missouri farmers should not be locked into only corn and soybeans.

I support: Specialty crop development Hemp, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and drought-resistant crops Polycrop and multi-crop farming Value-added agriculture Local food processing Regional food hubs Crop diversity gives farmers more revenue streams and protects them from market shocks, drought, disease, and trade disruption.

Vertical farming, hydroponics, precision agriculture, and controlled-environment agriculture can help expand food production close to consumers.

I support: Grants for farmers to adopt precision agriculture Rural broadband for smart-farm technology Hydroponic and vertical farm pilots in Missouri Energy-efficient greenhouse systems Farmer-owned cooperative technology models Technology should not replace farmers.

I support: Farmland preservation incentives Conservation easements Smart growth planning Beginning farmer land access programs Restrictions on foreign and corporate speculation in farmland We should protect the land that feeds us.

Reform the Farm Bill Around Farmers, Not Corporations The Farm Bill is the most important agricultural legislation in America.

USDA’s ERS notes the 2018 Farm Act was extended through FY2025, and the 2026 Farm Bill is now the major vehicle for farm, nutrition, conservation, rural development, research, and energy policy.

I will support a Farm Bill that: Protects small and mid-sized farms Strengthens conservation and soil health Expands rural broadband and infrastructure Improves credit access for beginning farmers Supports specialty crops and livestock producers Protects SNAP and food security Rebuilds rural communities I will not support a Farm Bill that helps corporations and abandons hungry families.
Issue Position
Secure the Border with Strategy, Not Theater Border security is national security.

But security requires precision, not politics.
Issue Position
Throughout the endorsement process, you demonstrated a genuine willingness to engage with organized labor and an understanding of the importance of protecting good-paying jobs, workforce development, and the rights of working people.
Issue Position
In Solidarity, Greater Kansas City AFL CIO - On behalf of hundreds of thousands of working Missourians and their families, the Missouri American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations is proud to formally announce that you have received our endorsement for your campaign for CD 4 in the August 4, 2026, Primary Election.

Independence and Integrity I will never accept money from: AIPAC or similar political action committees that seek to influence foreign policy Any foreign national or foreign government, as prohibited by U.S. law My decisions will be made in the interest of the American people, not under outside influence.
Issue Position
Now I’m running for Congress to bring that same steadiness to Missouri’s 5th: pragmatic solutions on cost of living, safer communities through common-sense policy, and a government that treats people with dignity.
Issue Position
Defend Voting Rights and Stop Government Overreach I strongly oppose the SAVE Act .

I support legislation in the spirit of the NO FAKES Act , which would create federal protections against unauthorized AI-generated replicas of a person’s voice, image, or likeness.
Our delegates appreciated the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the issues impacting working families across southwest Missouri.

We believe you share these same values, and we believe you will work tirelessly to protect the rights of working people and stand and fight for their best interests when the time comes.

Whether it be standing up for working families in an affordability crisis, protecting the right to safe jobsites, or ensuring access to public education, we believe that we have a partner in you and can work together on these core values for years to come.

Freedom and Privacy The federal government should not be able to regulate your body, your marriage, your religion in schools, or your personal life decisions.

Here’s My Why I have seen what happens when people do not have freedom.

I have seen: Communities without access to food and basic healthcare Young girls are treated as property instead of human beings Families forced to choose between survival and dignity Systems where suspicion alone can cost someone their life I have also seen it here at home, where families must choose between medical care, keeping the lights on, or putting gas in the car.

My Plan to Protect Equality, Dignity, and Freedom 1.

Guarantee Equal Protection Under the Law No one should lose a job, a home, or access to public life because of who they are.

This is about making sure the law applies equally to everyone.

Protect Voting Rights and Push Back on Harmful Legislation I strongly oppose legislation like the SAVE Act .

It risks disenfranchising: Married women who changed their names Veterans Seniors without updated documents Trans Americans whose documents may not match It is a “show your papers” system that solves a problem that does not exist, while creating new ones that absolutely do.

Because if your rights can be taken away, then none of us are secure.

Women’s rights are human rights.

This is about freedom, dignity, and whether people in this country have control over their own lives.

It’s about whether we are going to build a country where women are respected, protected, and empowered, or one where they are controlled, silenced, and pushed aside.

When women lose rights, families suffer.
Issue Position
In Solidarity, President Jake Hummel Secretary-Treasurer Ryan McKenna Missouri AFL-CIO Executive Board State of Missouri AFL-CIO - Honored to receive the endorsement of Citizens’ Impeachment, an organization committed to defending democracy, constitutional accountability, and the rule of law.

I will always fight to protect our democracy and ensure government works for the people, not the powerful.

Citizens Impeachment - Honored to be endorsed by Courage for Democracy, an organization fighting to protect our Constitution, defend democratic institutions, and stand up against corruption and authoritarianism.

This campaign has always been about courage, accountability, and putting people before power.

It is about creating a movement where working people, students, veterans, families, and young leaders all have a seat at the table.

To have the support of a new generation ready to fight for democracy, justice, opportunity, and real change means the world to me.

50501 Missouri understands what this campaign is about: courage, community, accountability, and action.

Northland Forward understands that people are hungry for leadership rooted in integrity, accountability, and service.
Issue Position
Guarantee Economic Security and Workplace Protections Women deserve full economic equality.

I will fight for: Equal pay for equal work Stronger workplace protections against discrimination and harassment Paid family and medical leave PAID MATERNITY AND PATERNITY LEAVE (Aiming for 90 days, hoping to get to 180days long term) Protections so no one is penalized for becoming a parent No one should have to choose between their livelihood and their child.
Issue Position
Over the last several months, I have traveled countless miles across Missouri meeting with workers, union members, apprentices, retirees, teachers, healthcare professionals, firefighters, tradesmen, and working families.

Together, we can build an economy that works for working families, strengthen the middle class, and ensure the next generation has more opportunity than the one before it.

The Herrera Policy Platform A Comprehensive Vision for America’s Future Primary Objectives Economic Security That every American should be able to afford housing, healthcare, quality education, and food security while working one job.

Housing costs are outpacing wages.

Investing in the future means expanding affordable housing in both rural and urban communities, rebuilding local healthcare access, strengthening food systems from farm to table, and modernizing infrastructure so people can live where they work and age with dignity.

It means reinvesting in rural hospitals and schools while also addressing urban housing shortages and food insecurity.

My commitment is to revitalize our local economy, fight for working-class families, and ensure that every resident, urban and rural, has access to opportunity and prosperity.

From affordable housing and infrastructure investments to supporting small businesses and agricultural development, my focus is on economic policies that create jobs, lower costs, and strengthen communities.

That is not sustainable for a state that depends on transportation, agriculture, and local commerce.

Create Jobs Through Infrastructure Investment Infrastructure is one of the fastest ways to create real, tangible jobs.

I am ready to bring opportunity back to our communities.
Issue Position
Student Loan Reform & Educational Access Rebuilding America’s Education System Education is not a luxury.

Education is an infrastructural need for a dignified life in America.

Defend and Strengthen Public Education It starts with public schools.

I will always support: Full and fair public school funding Higher pay for teachers Modern resources and classroom support In rural communities like the one I grew up in, public schools are not optional.

Policies that strip funding from public schools do not create choice; they create collapse.

If public education fails, everything that comes after it fails.

Make Education Affordable, Not a Lifetime Debt The student loan system is broken.

I support: Expanding trade schools and apprenticeships Strengthening career and technical education (CTE) Building pipeline programs directly from high school into jobs Partnering with unions and local industries for workforce training We should value people who work with their hands just as much as those who pursue degrees.

Keep Education Independent from Exploitation I reject the idea that the only path to affordable education is military service.

I have heard it my entire life: “If you want a free education, join the military.” I did.

If we want a stronger country, a more competitive economy, and a more just society, we must invest in education at every level.
Issue Position
We already have laws that make it illegal for non-citizens to vote, and cases of that are extremely rare.
Issue Position
Regulate Data Centers Without Killing Innovation I am not here to stop data centers from existing.

DOE cites Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory findings that data centers used about 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023 and could consume 6.7% to 12% by 2028 .

If we are going to build the digital economy, we need reliable, clean, high-output energy.

Build the Next Generation of Energy and Industry We have an opportunity right now to lead the next generation of American industry.

I support: Expanding domestic manufacturing for clean energy technologies Investing in solar, wind, and advanced energy systems Positioning Missouri as a hub for next-generation nuclear technology, including small modular reactors and Gen IV systems Strengthening our energy grid to support growth and reliability We can create jobs, lower costs, and lead globally, but only if we act now.
Issue Position
Invest in Regenerative Agriculture, Soil Health, and Water Security The future of farming depends on the future of soil and water.

The Ogallala Aquifer supports much of the High Plains, but NRCS notes that water levels are diminishing because of widespread irrigation use.

NRCS describes the Ogallala Aquifer Initiative as a multistate effort to reduce water withdrawals and contamination.

Protect Farmland and Fight Suburban Sprawl Once farmland is paved over, it does not come back.
Issue Position
In Oslo, Norway , data centers are being engineered differently, powered through a mix of renewable energy, including solar and wind, with emerging hydrogen integration , and designed with long-term sustainability in mind.
Issue Position
It includes: Childcare Elder care Disability support Home and community-based services Childcare is essential infrastructure.

I believe in making sure babies have a system to support them with WIC, SNAP, and fully funded school meals.

Invest in Families and Make It Possible to Raise Children If we are serious about supporting life, then we need to act like it.

I will fight for: A national milk bank system to reduce infant malnutrition and lower costs for families Subsidized prenatal, postnatal, and postpartum care Full support for adoption and foster systems so children are not left without permanent homes Affordable childcare tied to income so no family is priced out of raising their own children Universal paid family leave as a national standard No one should walk into a hospital to have a child and walk out in debt.
Issue Position
However, we cannot waste taxpayer dollars.

I will work to secure federal funding for local projects, modernize transportation, and improve public safety while ensuring that Missouri’s farmers, educators, and first responders have the resources they need.

Under the One Big Tax Giveaway Bill last year, Trump returned $450 BILLION to the top 5%, 1%, and corporations, ten times the amount needed to pay for universal childcare.

Our debt crisis is driven by three realities: Insufficient revenue due to corporate loopholes and tax imbalance Government inefficiency and waste Decades of unpaid wars and emergency spending I will fight to: Close corporate tax loopholes and ensure fair contribution at the top Reduce wasteful federal spending End the practice of funding wars without paying for them National security includes economic security.

Bring Federal Dollars Home and Get Them Deployed Missouri should not be leaving federal funding on the table.
Issue Position
After World War II, the United States invested $13.3 billion through the Marshall Plan, helping stabilize entire regions and prevent long-term conflict.
Issue Position
Gaza, Israel, and Iran: A Call for Justice, Human Rights, and Peace The United States must lead with strength, but also with restraint, clarity, and moral courage.

I support: An immediate ceasefire Full humanitarian access to food, water, and medicine A halt to offensive U.S. military support in the conflict The Palestinian people deserve dignity, safety, and the right to determine their own future.

Support for Israel, With Limits Israel is an ally, and allies have the right to defend themselves.

But alliance does not mean unconditional support.

I support: Defensive cooperation with Israel – without delivery of munitions to Israel Opposition to offensive actions Conditioning U.S. aid to ensure compliance with international law and upholding human rights True friendship requires honesty and accountability.

No More Endless Wars, Including Iran I am strongly opposed to escalating conflict with Iran.

The United States cannot enter another war without clear justification and lawful authorization.

Under the War Powers framework: The President must notify Congress within 48 hours of military action Sustained conflict requires congressional authorization I will not support: Another “forever war” Military action based on unclear or unverified claims Sending American troops into another prolonged conflict in the region I served during a war justified by claims that did not hold up.

Recenter American Foreign Policy Our role in the world must be grounded in: Diplomacy first Peace-building over escalation Respect for all people, regardless of religion or nationality Judaism is not the state of Israel.

Address Root Causes Through Regional Partnership I do not look at immigration as a slogan.

I support building strong regional partnerships across Central and South America to: Disrupt trafficking networks before families are exploited Expand lawful processing closer to home Build economic partnerships that reduce forced migration Strengthen trade relationships and reduce reliance on overseas supply chains Improve security cooperation against narco-trafficking This is not a theory.

That is how we reduce migration pressure and protect human life.

Lead With Strength Abroad and Stability at Home I believe in: Diplomacy first Strength when necessary Clarity always We must rebuild alliances, strengthen partnerships, and reassert American leadership without rushing into unnecessary conflict.
Issue Position
Protect Reproductive Freedom Healthcare decisions belong to individuals, not the government.
Issue Position
Women's Rights Protecting Women’s Rights and Family Freedom I was raised by a single mother who carried three boys forward with nothing but courage and the support of my grandmother.

Here’s what I believe: A support life Democrat approach means: Protecting a woman’s right to decide , always Safeguarding the confidential relationship between patient and doctor Addressing the real reasons families struggle to have children, which are economic, not ideological You cannot legislate away free will.
Issue Position
In 1971, Congress passed the Comprehensive Child Development Act , which would have created a national childcare system.
Issue Position
Healthcare is unaffordable or too far away.

Healthcare Cost Reduction & Pharmaceutical Accountability Rebuilding America’s Healthcare System America’s healthcare system is not just expensive.

Lower Costs and Take On Price Gouging Healthcare costs in America are driven by consolidation, lack of competition, and price manipulation.

I will fight to: Enforce antitrust laws Investigate and stop predatory pricing practices Use federal authority under the Bayh-Dole Act , including “march-in rights,” to ensure taxpayer-funded drugs are accessible Allow generic drug production when corporations engage in price gouging Cap costs on essential medications where markets fail When taxpayer dollars fund research, the public deserves a fair return.

Build Toward Universal Coverage Healthcare is a right.

It is my belief that healthcare is an infrastructural need for a dignified American life.

I support: Strengthening and expanding the Affordable Care Act Building a true public option within the ACA framework that anyone can buy into at a low cost Expanding Medicare to include dental, vision, and hearing The goal is simple: create a system so strong and affordable that it becomes the standard.

Restore and Expand Rural Healthcare Rural healthcare is in crisis.

I will fight to: Protect and expand Medicaid and Medicare funding Invest in right-sized healthcare networks , including smaller clinic-based systems Expand telehealth and mobile care access Provide transportation solutions for seniors and isolated patients Strengthen recruitment and retention of rural providers Healthcare should not depend on your zip code.

Fully Support Veterans’ Healthcare As a veteran, this is personal.

I will fight to: Expand VA healthcare access Strengthen community care networks Restore and grow the VA workforce Ensure veterans receive timely, high-quality care We made a promise.

Shift from Reactive to Proactive Healthcare Our system is built around treating people after they get sick.

For example, managing chronic disease early can reduce long-term costs by 30% or more , while preventing hospitalizations that can cost tens of thousands per patient.

I support: Incentives for preventative care , including annual checkups and screenings Expanded access to mental health, dental, and vision care Investment in addiction recovery and rehabilitation programs Smoking cessation, counseling, and long-term health support When people stay healthy, costs go down, and lives improve.

I will: Defend access to safe abortion and contraception Protect maternal healthcare Expand prenatal and family support programs Bodily autonomy is fundamental.

Protect Healthcare Access and End Politicized Medicine Healthcare decisions belong to patients, families, and doctors.

I will: Protect access to gender-affirming care under nondiscrimination protections in the Affordable Care Act Oppose blanket bans that strip families and doctors of decision-making authority Enforce standards for providers receiving federal funds Let me be very clear here: If a provider is using their position to push ideology instead of care, especially in something like so-called “conversion therapy,” they are not practicing medicine.

And if someone wants to engage in that kind of conduct, then they should not receive a single dollar of federal funding.

You do not get taxpayer support to harm patients.

Protect the Right to Make Personal Medical Decisions Let me be clear.

I will always fight to protect a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions, including abortion.

Expand Healthcare Access for Women and Families Healthcare is foundational.

That means: Expanding access to comprehensive care, including reproductive healthcare Ensuring maternal care is fully integrated into the healthcare system Building toward a system where starting a family is not a financial risk If we want strong families, we need a system that supports them from day one.

I led large-scale healthcare modernization efforts, guided systems through COVID response, and managed multi-million-dollar infrastructure and medical projects, including work tied to a $30 million, a $19 million, and a $26 million federal contract.
Issue Position
Restore Investment in Higher Education Previous generations benefited from strong public investment in higher education.

I will fight to: Reinvest in public colleges and universities (previous generations had their higher education subsidized up to 70% – 80%) Reduce the cost burden on students and families Treat higher education as a public good, not a private burden When we invest in education, we invest in: Doctors and nurses Engineers and scientists Teachers and public servants Highly skilled engineers Electrical Engineers If we choke off access, we choke off our future workforce and innovation.
Issue Position
Today, the two leading drivers pushing Americans into homelessness are housing costs and healthcare expenses .

Policies that address the full cost of housing, including utilities, not just rent or mortgages Missouri has seen rents rise sharply in recent years.

Here’s My Why The number one driver of homelessness today is the cost of housing .
Issue Position
Expand Housing Through Local Solutions We also need to unlock housing that already exists.

I support grant and incentive programs that allow homeowners to: Convert basements, garages, and unused space into livable units Build accessory dwelling units within existing zoning and safety codes In exchange, these units would include clear affordability agreements to keep rents reasonable.

This approach: Expands supply without displacement Helps homeowners build income and stability Keeps housing development local and community-based 5.

Take On Corporate Consolidation and Speculation We cannot solve the housing crisis without addressing corporate control of the housing market.

Large institutional investors, hedge funds, and private equity firms are buying up homes at scale, driving up prices and pushing families out.

I support: Stronger antitrust enforcement against monopolistic housing practices Limits on bulk purchases of single-family homes by large investors Increased transparency in corporate ownership of residential property Housing should be for people, not just portfolios.

Restore Financial Guardrails in Housing We have seen what happens when housing markets are left unchecked.

I support restoring and strengthening financial regulations that: Prevent excessive speculation in housing markets Hold large financial institutions accountable Protect homeowners and renters from systemic risk This includes reinforcing key safeguards established after the 2008 financial crisis and ensuring they are not weakened.
Issue Position
Housing Affordability & Economic Revitalization Rebuilding America’s Housing Future America has a housing shortage.

Missouri families feel it every day through rising rent, higher utility costs, and fewer housing options.

Increase Supply at Scale We need to build more housing.

I support declaring a National Housing Emergency to unlock federal coordination and accelerate construction by: Reducing the cost of key building materials Addressing supply chain bottlenecks Expanding large-scale housing development The goal is simple: build more homes and bring costs down through supply and competition.

I support creating a Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit , building on the existing Low-Income Housing Tax Credit model.

This would: Support the construction of workforce housing Expand access for families earning moderate incomes Ensure housing is modern, safe, and sustainable This is about building housing that people can actually afford to live in.

Lower Costs and Protect Renters We cannot build our way out of this crisis fast enough to ignore what is happening right now.

Housing costs, especially rent, are one of the primary drivers of financial instability and homelessness.

I support: A national cap on annual rent increases , designed to prevent extreme year-over-year spikes while allowing reasonable adjustments.
Issue Position
Immigration: Security, Reform, and Opportunity Immigration, Border Security, and American Leadership America’s immigration system is broken.

Over 3.3 million active immigration cases Over 2.3 million asylum cases are pending That is not enforcement.

I will: Advocate to hire more immigration judges Modernize case processing systems Expand legal staffing and resources Support reforms that improve court independence, efficiency, and due process This aligns with proposals like the Real Courts, Rule of Law Act , which are focused on making the system work, not breaking it further.

I also support: Ending the broken lottery-style system Reducing excessive application costs Creating predictable, achievable legal pathways We do not fix immigration by pretending people don’t exist.

I will fight for: Permanent legal status for DACA recipients A pathway to citizenship Protection from deportation Anything less is a failure of leadership.

I support: Expansion and reform of H-2A agricultural visas Expansion of H-2B workforce visas for construction, trades, and seasonal labor Workforce modernization is aligned with legislation like the Farm Workforce Modernization Act We have labor shortages across critical industries.

Recycling people through deportation without fixing the system does not solve immigration.

I will fight every single day until we have: A secure border A functioning legal system A real pathway to citizenship And a policy that reflects who we are as Americans This is not just about immigration.
Issue Position
Schools and infrastructure are stretched thin.

I am here to slow them down from rapid development without local consideration, to advocate for regulating them responsibly, and build them the right way.

In Loudoun County, Virginia , home to the largest concentration of data centers in the world, communities are now dealing with constant noise pollution, land use conflicts, and strain on local infrastructure .

I support: Taxing large data centers based on energy and water usage Requiring local water-impact studies Preventing residential ratepayers from subsidizing Big Tech infrastructure Requiring transparency on power use, water use, and community impact Prioritizing union labor and local hiring for construction and operations If a data center is going to use the power and water of a small town, it should help pay for the future of that town.

Expand Rural Broadband Across Missouri High-speed internet is no longer optional.

Missouri’s BEAD program is designed to expand broadband to unserved and underserved areas, and the state has announced more than $814 million for broadband expansion to more than 200,000 hard-to-serve locations .

I will fight to: Expand rural broadband across Missouri Connect farms, schools, clinics, and small businesses Ensure public dollars create affordable service, not just corporate profit Treat internet access as economic infrastructure Broadband opens the door to education, telehealth, remote work, small business growth, and rural revitalization.

Infrastructure Modernization & Energy Independence Rebuilding Infrastructure and Delivering Results for Missouri Infrastructure is not a talking point.

Right now, Missouri and communities across the 4th Congressional District are being left behind because our representatives are not doing enough to bring federal infrastructure dollars home or get them to work.

Federal infrastructure investment works.

Fix Roads, Bridges, and Core Infrastructure First We start with the basics.

I will fight to: Repair and modernize roads and highways across the 4th District Prioritize bridge repair and replacement, especially in rural and high-traffic areas Improve freight and logistics corridors that support Missouri farmers and small businesses Ensure infrastructure projects create good-paying local jobs My plan is about safety, mobility, and economic survival.

I will: Aggressively pursue funding through federal infrastructure programs and transportation investments Make sure funds are actually obligated and deployed, not delayed or lost Work directly with counties, cities, and local leaders to move projects forward Cut through bureaucratic gridlock that stalls progress Getting funding is step one.

Without it, rural communities fall behind in: Education Healthcare Job access Business growth I will: Expand broadband access across rural Missouri Ensure service is reliable and affordable Prioritize connectivity for farms, schools, and small businesses Broadband creates opportunity.

I will fight for: Workforce development tied directly to infrastructure projects Apprenticeships and trade pathways connected to construction and energy work Strong labor standards that ensure fair pay and safe conditions This is how we rebuild the middle class.

In the United States Air Force, I managed large-scale projects, critical infrastructure, and mission-driven systems.
Issue Position
LGBTQIA+ Rights & Equality in Governance Protecting LGBTQIA+ Rights LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.

Defend Marriage Equality and Family Stability Marriage equality is settled law.

I will defend: Respect for Marriage Act Federal protections require all states to recognize lawful marriages No American should have to wake up and wonder if their marriage will still be valid tomorrow.

I will fight to pass: Equality Act Strong enforcement of Bostock v. Clayton County , which already affirms workplace protections This is not radical.

I’ve deployed, I’ve led, I’ve performed at the highest levels, and not once did my sexual orientation stop me from doing my job.

I’ve worked alongside conservatives, I’ve delivered results in conservative spaces, and I’ve helped shape policy that improved lives across this state, including for trans Missourians and those living with HIV.
Issue Position
Again and again, I have heard the same message: people want an economy where one job is enough, where workers have a voice on the job, where unions are respected, and where hard work is rewarded with dignity and security.

Whether we are fighting for fair wages, collective bargaining rights, safe jobsites, public education, affordable healthcare, or investments in the skilled trades, I look forward to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with organized labor in the years ahead.

Protecting the rights of all workers, especially those with collective bargaining agreements, is necessary to provide upward mobility and quality of life for everyone in Missouri.
Issue Position
But I will not support a future where workers are replaced, artists are robbed, communities pay the utility bills leading to poverty and home insecurity, and corporations walk away with the profits.

Protect Workers First in the AI Economy AI must be built around workers, not used against them.

The AFL-CIO’s Workers First Initiative on AI calls for stronger labor rights, collective bargaining, worker input, transparency, accountability, copyright protection, retraining, and safeguards against harmful workplace AI.

I will fight for: Worker notice before AI is deployed in the workplace Bargaining rights over AI -driven job changes Restrictions on AI surveillance and automated discipline Retraining and wage support for displaced workers A tax framework for AI systems that replace human labor If an algorithm replaces a worker, the company should not get a free pass while the community absorbs the damage.
Issue Position
Strong and Smart Military I support our nation’s military and our veterans.

I will: Demand full transparency from the Department of Defense Hold leadership accountable for operational failures Conduct aggressive congressional oversight of military decision-making Ensure that readiness, logistics, and force protection are never compromised If you cannot protect the force, you should not be leading it.

I support: Rebuilding munitions stockpiles with realistic timelines and domestic production capacity Strengthening supply chains for defense manufacturing Investing in maintenance, logistics, and sustainment systems Prioritizing readiness over rapid, unsustainable deployment cycles Readiness is not about how fast you can strike.
Issue Position
National Security & Defense National Security, Military Strength, and American Leadership American foreign policy must be built on strength, discipline, and strategic clarity.

End Reckless Military Engagement Without Strategy War is not a talking point.

I oppose: Entering conflicts without a clearly defined mission Engaging in military operations without congressional authorization Expending critical munitions and resources without long-term planning Military force must always meet three standards: Clear objective Defined end state Sustainable execution Anything less is failure.

Confront the Real National Security Threat: The National Debt As Mike Mullen warned, the greatest long-term threat to our national security is our national debt.

We cannot defend this country if we bankrupt it.

That means: Investing in infrastructure Securing supply chains Protecting critical industries Supporting law enforcement with accountability and trust National security is not just overseas.
Issue Position
The ADVANCE Act , signed into law in 2024, directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to modernize licensing for advanced reactors and fuels while maintaining safety and security standards.

I support: Investment in small modular reactors Next-generation nuclear research Strong nuclear safety standards Domestic fuel supply chains Union jobs in clean energy construction and maintenance America should lead the world in safe, next-generation nuclear power, not surrender that market to China or Russia.
Issue Position
This district is the heart of Missouri, and I intend to fight relentlessly for policies that uplift our people, restore trust in government, and make CD-04 a model of progress and prosperity.

Over 90% of fentanyl interdictions occur at ports of entry , not between them I support expanding non-intrusive inspection technology and targeted interdiction efforts I support legislation like the CATCH Fentanyl Act that strengthens detection without disrupting lawful trade I support increasing personnel and oversight at ports of entry where the real threats move This is how we stop trafficking, not with slogans, but with results.

Reject Failed Policies on Both Extremes I do not support: Open borders Mass deportation without due process Both are failures.
Issue Position
Establish Digital Identity and Biometric Rights Your face belongs to you.

I will fight for: A federal right to control your name, image, likeness, voice, and biometric data Consent before personal data is sold or transferred Strong penalties for AI impersonation, fraud, and deepfake abuse Protections for artists, performers, writers, designers, and everyday Americans Ownership begins with the individual.

Hold Platforms and Data Brokers Accountable Right now, too much of our digital economy is built on extraction.

I will fight for: A federal digital privacy bill with real enforcement Limits on data brokers A ban on unauthorized sale of sensitive personal data Transparency from social media platforms Stronger protections against algorithmic discrimination Privacy is not a luxury good.
Issue Position
But we need to build it with guardrails, with worker power, with privacy rights, with clean energy, and with a simple principle at the center: The people who create value should not be the last to benefit from it.

Programs like Head Start , created in 1965, still exist today and continue to serve millions of children, but they have never been expanded to meet the full need.
Issue Position
I will fight to: Cap student loan interest rates Eliminate capitalized interest Ensure income-based repayment never exceeds 10% of income Expand and fix Public Service Loan Forgiveness Provide full forgiveness for borrowers paying for 20+ years in good faith This is not about giveaways.

Borrowers have limited choice, limited flexibility, and limited protection.

I will push for: Stronger oversight of loan servicers Consumer protections for borrowers A system that prioritizes students over profits Education financing should serve the public, not extract from it.
Issue Position
Digital Rights, AI, Data Centers, and Energy Infrastructure Protecting Digital Rights, Workers, and America’s AI Future We are living in an era where your data, your face, your voice, your location, and your creative work can be captured, copied, sold, and monetized without your consent.

I support re-engineered and better-designed data centers, AI research, broadband expansion, and next-generation energy.

Expand Broadband Access Across Rural Missouri High-speed internet is no longer optional.
Issue Position
I will fight to: Restore VA staffing and expand healthcare access Rebuild community care networks for veterans and their families Expand mental health services and addiction treatment Strengthen benefits for dependents and caregivers Establish stronger presumptive coverage for toxic exposure, including burn pits If you were willing to serve this country, this country must be ready to serve you when you come home.
Issue Position
It puts at risk: Women who changed their names after marriage or divorce Trans women and men Survivors of domestic violence who changed identities to stay safe Adopted individuals whose documentation may not align Everyday Americans who simply do not have immediate access to paperwork And here’s the reality: It is already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.
