- Principled - I believe we need a principled, common sense representative. Many times we have to vote for candidates who have been reluctant to share the beliefs and principles that will guide their votes if elected. As a voter, that is very frustrating to me. We need someone who understands the conservative platform and will represent Mo District 119 in a transparent, accessible, and principled way. I humbly ask for your vote in becoming our next Representative.
- Accessible - I believe we need an accessible representative. All elected officials should answer to their constituents. If elected my office door will always be open. I will run a friendly and helpful office, work to give timely responses to questions, and I commit to being accessible to those who live within the boundaries of Mo District 119.
- Transparent - I believe our elected officals to the best of their ability should be transparent on all levels. The votes a representative cast are of public record but the reasons behind all of them should be shared as much as possible. I commit to keeping the constituents of Mo District 119 informed to the best of my ability thru mail, email, social media and of course thru public interactions or meetings.
Fiscally Responsible Government. - All Levels of government should operate in the black and on a budget. All levels of government should be transparent in their expenditures and receipts. All levels of government should be working to make the best use of each dollar of revenue it receives.
Election Integrity. - Our Democratic Republic cannot survive without free, fair, and legal elections. Elections should be controlled and transparent at the State level. The public trust in elections can only be maintained if a common sense process is used to register, verify legal identity and residency, and count the votes within each precinct. The entire process has to have immediate transparency for public scrutiny.

Scorecards
Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
