Over a year ago, respected community leaders and legislators asked me to run for State Representative because they believed I could serve District 3 with integrity, common sense, and the ability to get things done. I was humbled by their confidence in me and I didn't take that responsibility lightly.
Since that time, I've traveled many hundreds of miles across our four counties, meeting with citizens, community leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, farmers, business owners, first responders, and economic development champions. I wanted to understand the challenges we face and the opportunities ahead. Not just listen to what they were experiencing, but learn from them.
Those conversations have shaped this campaign. They strengthened my commitment to represent every corner of District 3 with honesty, respect, and hard work.
I'm not a polished politician. I'm a husband, a father, a grandad, and a neighbor who believes leadership is about service, humility, and results. Getting results and solving problems requires building relationships, the ability to bring people together, and finding common ground from which solutions can be formed.
As you make your decision on August 4, I hope you'll ask one simple question: Who is best prepared to walk into Jefferson City with the relationships, the respect, and the readiness to deliver real results for Northeast Missouri? I've spent the last year preparing not just to win an election, but to be effective from my very first day in office.
This campaign has never been about tearing someone else down. It's been about earning your trust. Together, my team has run a campaign we can all be proud of, one built on respect, optimism, and solutions, with a consistent message.
To my family, friends, volunteers, and every person who welcomed me into their community, shook my hand, or offered a prayer or word of encouragement, thank you! Your faith in me has meant more than you'll ever know.
On August 4, I humbly ask for your vote. If you place your trust in me, I promise to carry your voice with honor, work tirelessly on your behalf, and never forget who I work for!
