John's Priorities for Springfield
Affordable Healthcare
Ensure no Missourian has to choose between medical care, housing, and groceries, or face bankruptcy after a cancer diagnosis.
Stop Republican Tax Schemes
Missourians work hard to put food on the table, and provide for their family. John opposes Republican sales tax schemes that burden families, veterans and seniors on fixed incomes and give tax breaks to billionaires, the politically connected, and out-of-state corporations.
Strong Public Education
Our Children are our future. Fully fund our Springfield public schools and protect them from hidden tax schemes that would blow a $9 billion hole in the state budget and threaten school programs.
Protect Healthcare and Get Politicians Out of the Doctor's Office
Women have the right to make their own choices, and shouldn't have to ask politicians for permission about their family decisions.
Support Working People
Use smart, community-driven solutions to grow our economy, reward businesses that invest in our community by paying a living wage, and protect seniors on fixed incomes from unfair tax hikes.
Grow Small Businesses
Springfield is a remarkable community of small business owners, entrepreneurs, and job creators Support small business owners and responsible companies who are good neighbors and invest in our communities.
