Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will refocus the office of Attorney General to serving the people of Missouri instead of weaponizing the office for political gain.
• I will work to keep big government out of Missourians’ homes, churches, schools, and doctors’ offices, and ensure individual Missourians are able to make the decisions that are best for their families. As a catholic, I support keeping the state and political addenda's out of our houses of worship.
• I will work towards removing money from politics and strengthening third party representation in Missouri to offset and lessen the impact of the toxic political system that has been created by the two main parties.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about protecting Missourians first and foremost, with a focus on protecting our fundamental freedoms, constitutional rights, and Indvidual autonomy from governmental overreach. Our government should be less powerful, less invasive, and less combative.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The eruption of Mount St. Helens in March 1980. I was almost 4 years old.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Colors by Black Pumas

Tell us your favorite joke.

This is a joke about self-awareness. . .

So there are two sausages in a frying pan and one sausage turns to the other sand says, "Man it's getting hot in here!"

The second sausage says, "Oh my gosh, a talking sausage."

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Transparency and accountability are important both to earning and keeping the public trust but just as important is accessibility. I would expand the line of communications between the office of Attorney General and individual Missourians and Missouri business, to address problems more directly and understand their concerns as they arise and change.

Do you support or oppose changes to the current state ballot initiative process? If so, what kind of changes would you consider?

I oppose changes. It is one of the most fundamental freedoms enshrined in our state constitution that the people can, under certain circumstances, act directly to affect change, not through their representatives, but through the ballot box, when their representatives fail to represent their interests.
