I’ve been lifted up by fellow Missourians more times than I can count. As a kid when medical bills bankrupted my parents, or when I got into college and didn't know if I would be able to afford it, this community has always been there for me.

I’ve spent my life trying to pay that debt back, from serving as a Marine overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan to battling corporate monopoly power here at home. Missourians deserve a leader who will fight for them.
