Our state stands at a crossroads. Democracy is under attack — not just in Washington, but right here in Missouri.

​

Robert La Follette once said, “Mere passive citizenship is not enough. Men must be aggressive for what is right if government is to be saved from those who are aggressive for what is wrong.”

​

That warning is more urgent now than ever. Our precious freedoms will not survive if we meet extremism with silence.

 

Surrendering in silence is surrendering our freedom.

​

My campaign for the Missouri Legislature is more than a bid for office. It’s a call to action. It's a movement to reclaim our future from a legislature that tramples our rights and silences our voices.

​

The Republican supermajority in the Missouri Legislature attacks workers' rights, aims to reverse Amendment 3, has tried to block Medicaid expansion, seeks to remove earned sick leave protections, and fights to dismantle your right to petition your government. Some even supported legalizing vehicular manslaughter against peaceful protesters. And they do all this while mimicking Trump’s cruelty and overt contempt for democracy.

​

This is not who we are. Not as Americans. Not as Missourians.

​

The path forward won’t be easy, and I won’t lie to you with promises of quick fixes. But I will fight like hell for what is right. I refuse to bow to a king. And I know you won’t either.

​

The truth is, freedom demands action. It demands us all to stand together. Your voice, your vote, your courage; they matter.

​

As La Follette said: "Passive citizenship is not enough."

​

Join me. Let’s be aggressive for what is right. Let’s show the nation that the Show Me State still believes in liberty, justice, and a future worth fighting for.

​

History is watching. Future generations will ask: Did we stand for our values, or did we let them die in silence?
