Abortion is a Right
I have supported abortion rights, the right to privacy, and the right for people to make safe, informed, medical decisions about their own bodies since I was 14 years old. I started my journey as a volunteer Teen Advocate for Sexual Health with Planned Parenthood and I promise to continue this fight as State Representative for District 81.
Equality is a Right
As a gay man who has experienced his share of discrimination in public and within former workplaces, Missouri is long overdue in creating equality for the LGBTQ+ community. I stand with this community and its advocates in fighting for the passage of the Missouri Non-Discrimination Act (MONA).
Education is a Right
My career started out in public libraries of both St. Louis County and St. Louis City. During that time, I learned of the dramatic gaps in the system where some schools could fund multiple language programs while others struggled to afford paper plates to serve snacks on. I promise to put our children first and fighting for their right to a quality education by funding our public schools.
