Christian Conservatives taking Action!
Londa and I have been married 46 years. We have seen hard times, as well as, good times, like most of you. We know how to get things done the right way. We have learned that working hard and smart is how to be successful. In our home, God will always come first, with family and country next. I want Missouri to set the same priorities for our state. Politics should not be a blue or red focus. Politics should be about doing the “right” thing for you and I. People have lost track of that fact. As the bible warned us; we see ourselves in a world where a lie has become the truth and the truth has become a lie. I will always speak the truth and do the right thing, even when it is not popular. And if I don’t have the answer to a problem. I research successful solutions and work to resolve the cause. When we fix the cause, the problem goes away. My wife and I want to make a difference in the direction of this country and Missouri. It is time for the good Christian people of this country to step up and set things right. We need America to be “One Nation Under God” again. We can start this here in our state and Take Missouri Back!

Commodity leaders put their heads together to address specific scenarios to allow next-generation farmers to launch a profit and keep farming operations in the family. This is an issue not only
Infrastructure
The answer isn’t raising new taxes for state revenue. The answer is effective spending of the money our state already has. We can do this through stronger competitive bids, reduction of waste, federal grants, focused improvements on locations developing new business to generate more income and growth, and ensuring farms
Education
In 2016, about 1 in 10 students in the state attended a low-performing school. Less than half of Missouri’s school children are proficient in Math. Only two-thirds are proficient in English. Missouri is the only state in the nation with a growing proficiency gap on NAEP tests. Missouri has the
Health Care
Health Care Rural areas have different healthcare challenges than cities and suburbs. Hospitals and clinics struggle to make ends meet and find doctors willing to live and work nearby. Many specific medical issues such as mental health and drug abuse are more severe in rural areas. We need to devote
Economy
Between 2012 and 2015, Missouri saw significant out-migration, losing roughly 5,000 to 7,000 residents annually.

From 2012 to 2021, Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) outflows exceeded inflows by 3.9%, indicating an overall outflow of income
