I’m an Engineer
I fix things. Most politicians look at our state’s problems from the lens of politics – I look at them through the lens of an engineer. How can I fix things and make them work better?
I ran for Secretary of State in 2016 on an election integrity platform and when you elected me, I went to work. We instituted voter ID, banned ballot drop boxes and private funding of election operations, and blocked the Biden Administration from sending armed federal agents to monitor our elections.
Today, Missouri is among the Top 10 states in the nation for election integrity.
The Secretary of State oversees the state’s public libraries and archives, and I established new rules to protect children from inappropriate material in these taxpayer-funded institutions. I also oversee the state’s securities industry and instituted new rules requiring Wall Street money managers notify their customers when they use woke ESG strategies for investing their retirement savings, rather than the best return for their investment. Bureaucrats, bankers, and lobbyists shouldn’t be making our decisions for us.
I wrote legislation banning hostile nations like China, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, and Iran from buying any Missouri land, testified to prevent males from competing with females in sports, and fought for the right to life for every Missourian – born and unborn.
The problems facing Missouri aren’t impossible, but they take an outsider’s approach. Electing career politicians who come from the system won’t change the system. I’m not the favorite of Jefferson City insiders and lobbyists, but I understand the problems preventing Missouri from growing its economy and its population, creating good-paying jobs, and providing a great education, and safe communities for every Missourian.
Like I said, I’m an engineer, I fix things. And I’m ready to get to work fixing our state with my Red Print for Missouri.
